Newhouse, Ireshopeburn, DL13

CHAIN FREE: Nestled in the picturesque North Pennines, this fantastic property boasts a unique history as a former timber yard and forge for the local lead mines. The beautifully restored and converted 3-bedroom detached house exudes character, featuring exposed stone walls, wooden ceiling beams, and an en-suite bathroom built within the old forge.

Internally the property provides single level living, with a large open plan kitchen, dining and living area with exposed stone walls and vaulted ceilings, and 3 double bedrooms (2 en-suite) plus an additional bathroom, all linked by a central hallway which also provides access to a convenient utility room. Step outside through the large bifold doors of the kitchen and be greeted by the breathtaking views of the North Pennines landscape extending to the South and West. A generous, split level garden beckons with multiple seating and dining areas, including two patio spaces, and a mix of lawned and gravel areas for outdoor enjoyment. With an open-fronted garage, 2 graveled driveway parking areas, and an abundance of outdoor space, this property really does have a huge amount to offer in a truly beautiful setting.
