Cemetery Road, Witton Le Wear, Bishop Auckland, DL14

"Hoppy's House", 9 Cemetery road was once a pair of houses that have been combined to create a wonderful, and characterful family home with interesting things at every turn. The property dates back to the 1800's and has been in the ownership of our clients for over 30 years, during that time it has been changed beyond recognition and it is now offered to the market with the added bonus of no onward chain.

The accommodation comprises of an entrance hallway with the stairs rising to the first floor. On the right hand side is the house dining room with stone floor and feature inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. This in turn leads to the sitting room which has an original stained glass window, feature fireplace and two window seats. Next up is the office which has been kitted out with a fitted desk and selection of shelves, and to the rear of the house lies the rear entrance porch and back door. Moving back through the house lies the kitchen which features a selection of fitted units in pastel blue wood with granite worktops and a "Belfast" style sink. The kitchen is arranged around a large Aga Rayburn style cooker which should be a delight for any home cook! The kitchen boasts a flight of stairs down to the cellar, which for any wine enthusiast, would be an ideal place to start (and house) a collection!
Moving to the back of the property is a large garden room which has a lot of natural light from the many windows - this room would offer a multitude of uses such as another reception room/child’s playroom, Tv or Games room. A utility room and ground floor shower room complete the ground floor layout.

Going up the stairs to the first floor there are four bedrooms - three of which are doubles and one single - all of which enjoy views to the front of the house, over the village in the foreground to Witton Castle in the distance. The master bedroom features an original fireplace like the two doubles, and a very impressive ensuite bathroom with roll top bath. The house bathroom completes the internal layout.

To the rear there is another outbuilding for storage, secure gated off street parking on a gravelled drive, artificial grass - perfect for playing with children and pets, and a paved patio - perfect for entertaining and eating outside in warmer months.
