Description
For Sale by ONLINE MODERN (CONDITIONAL) AUCTION - Bidding Ends 12:00 Friday 15th August. To view property details and legal documents, visit the Weardale Property Agency website and click on the Online Auctions section.
This partially renovated, former Outdoor Education Centre is believed to have been constructed circa 1850, and was closed as centre in 2011. The building benefits from a change of use to residential status which was approved in 2015 (Durham County Council application reference number DM/15/02055/FPA ).
The building could be internally configured to suit the needs of the new owner, although significant renovation and modernisation works have taken place to date, the layout of the building is still as it was when in use an outdoor education centre. The building is single storey with vaulted ceilings which could provide further floor space if a mezzanine floor were to be added. The property currently features 3 huge reception rooms, 2 of which were the former dormitories and a 3rd which would have been a classroom and is now configured as large living/dining room. In between the Western dormitory and living room you will find the newly fitted kitchen, meaning any future owner could live in the property whilst completing the renovation. Adjacent to each of the former dormitories is a staff accommodation block of approximate equal size and both consisting of 4 small rooms, including a WC, former shower room and bedrooms. At opposite ends of the building there is a former WC and shower block which would have been used by the students.
Summary of renovation works completed to date:
Installation of radiators in both former dormitories
Installation of LPG tank and new Worcester system boiler. The boiler is located within a built-in storage room off the Western dormitory, whilst the LPG tank is located externally to the North of the building
Partly rewired
Western Dormitory: Installation of 4-inch insulated plasterboard, plastering, new sockets and light fittings
Kitchen: Installation of 4-inch insulated plasterboard, plastering, newly fitted kitchen, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, microwave, electric oven and induction hub, spotlights and vinyl flooring
Living/Dining Room: Installation of log burner, stripped back to original wooden flooring and stripped back original ceiling beams.
