Crawleyside, Stanhope, DL13

This large 3-bedroom semi-detached house, located in the picturesque hamlet of Crawleyside, offers the perfect blend of spacious interiors and stunning outdoor views of the North Pennines. Spread over three floors, and boasting two well-proportioned double bedrooms, and two bathrooms, the property presents a great opportunity for home seekers looking for a home for a growing family, or indeed those looking for a peaceful countryside retreat. Featuring uPVC windows throughout that flood the rooms with natural light, and a cosy log burner in the living room, the residence offers a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The utility room and WC, located in the outdoor workshop, add practicality and convenience to the property. The true highlight of the property are the breathtaking views of the surrounding North Pennines, that can be seen from all three floors of the property in addition to the front and rear gardens.

The existing owners have thoughtfully updated the property in recent years, with renovations including: a new fitted kitchen; new log burner and fireplace; new flooring (including carpets, tiled flooring and laminate flooring) throughout the house; and the installation of insulation to the workshop roof.

In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises, an entrance hallway, living room, kitchen/diner, rear porch, and a staircase that rises to the first floor. To the first floor, are the property’s two double bedrooms, bathroom, and a staircase that rises to the second floor. To the second floor, is the property’s third bedroom and additional bathroom. Located on the ground floor in the rear yard is an external workshop that houses a utility room and WC.

The front and rear gardens offer unparallelled views of the picturesque North Pennines, accessible from both indoors and outdoors. The South-facing front garden, laid with patio stone and bordered by fencing and a dry-stone wall, provides an ideal setting for garden furniture and outdoor dining. Accessible via double-glazed uPVC doors from the living room and entrance hallway, the garden seamlessly integrates with the living spaces. A spacious rear yard offers additional outdoor seating options, whilst providing access to the workshop and a wooden staircase that leads to the lane that provides access to the property’s garage and rear garden. The rear garden features a greenhouse and a vast array of mature shrubs and trees. With some clearance work, the potential for creating multiple outdoor zones with incredible views of the North Pennines awaits, promising an ideal project for outdoor garden enthusiasts. Finally, a large single garage offers the convenience of off-road parking for one vehicle.
