Sunnybrae, Cotherstone, DL12

"Perfect", is the one word that can be associated with the feelings and thoughts that evoke on seeing this wondrous place. The gardens and interior of this lovely property are cared for to a very high degree. Every inch of the garden has been clipped and weeded and cared for. The herbaceous borders so professionally planted are full of impressive mature plants. There is also a rear garden, part laid-to-lawn, part herbaceous border. The flagged path that runs from the garden gate to the door of the property borders the whole length of the garden. This path is worth studying quite closely as it is clearly of very high quality stone and born from skilled workmanship. A beautiful copper beech tree at the front of the house sets off the green in the perfectly kept lawn and creates a beautiful picture at the front. At the same time this wonderful tree helps create a degree of privacy, and it is home to many beautiful wild birds.

The property is set well back from the road which runs through Cotherstone. There is ample shared parking on the side of this road. The road is not a major route anywhere and inside the property you are not disturbed by passing vehicles.

There is a sheltered, perfectly-formed patio to the rear that faces a south-westerly direction, making it a real sun trap. This would be an ideal place on a sunny day to hold a family barbecue. The garden wraps nicely around the conservatory, giving it a pleasant outlook and an ideal place in which to relax. The whole garden has been well thought out, is easy to care for and is a delightful experience.

The interior of this much-loved property has the same high level of detail and attention as the garden. Everywhere is well organised, uncluttered, extremely clean and very neat. All the decorations inside are extremely tasteful and the vendors have even taken the trouble to be in fashion. This attractive property would make a lovely home for any age group.

A modern shaker-style kitchen with all the amenities one could need, more than adequately serve a good cook. The kitchen is a pleasant and practical environment to work in. There are granite worktops and an induction hob and the floor is very practical, laid with Amtico flooring. The decor has been cared for and is up to date.

One of the reception rooms is a dining room where you could have a table of up to 8 people dining comfortably. This leads into the conservatory where there is room for a large three piece suite. It is possible therefore, to have quite a good-sized social or family gathering here.

There is a cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove. The stove is set in a smart fireplace which is neat and easy to care for. This is perfect for cosy nights in by the fire. The whole house seems very warm, dry and draught-free.

The bedrooms are very well-appointed with high quality fixtures and fittings. There is plenty of room in each one. There is a family bathroom in which the vendors have put the most amazing walk in double shower; it really is a luxurious space.

There is a store outside, consisting of a stone-built building in the rear garden. There is also an attic which is big enough to extend into with a Dorma bedroom. These areas mean that overall the property has a healthy amount of storage capacity.

All in all this is a turnkey property, with no further work to do in order to move in. It is a very good opportunity to buy a property in the village of Cotherstone. This village is one of the most popular ones in Teesdale being 15 minutes drive to Barnard Castle. Living here you have a choice of at least two secondary schools - both highly rated by Ofsted. From Barnard Castle, it is 30 minutes to Darlington, where there is a mainline train line which can take you direct to Kings Cross.

Barnard Castle is a vibrant town, originally settlement built around its medieval castle on the river Tees. There are many shops, both mainstream and artisan and some beautiful listed buildings and bridges.

Life in the Barnard Castle area is extremely full. Outside of looking after children, if you have them, there is a busy social life to tap into. For example, you can be a member of one of the many sports clubs such as the rugby club, tennis club, cricket club or golf club. There is a gym and a swimming pool at the local Leisure Centre. There are other interests to pursue such as The Bowes Museum which has many art and fashion exhibitions, and the amateur dramatics group called The Castle Players who regularly produce large outside theatre productions and Winter village tours. Living in the Barnard Castle area is very rich and cultured.
