Description

Situated 15 minutes drive from highly-rated Primary or Secondary Schools, this property is an excellent choice for a family wishing to settle and raise children. With good broadband connectivity in the village, this is a great location from which to work from home. Darlington Railway Station is 40 minutes drive away, from where there is an express service to Kings Cross or Newcastle.

Set back from the road, the property is located on a quiet country lane off the main street. It enjoys having the lion's share of the land immediately behind the three other terraced cottages, to which it is joined. The property owns the access lane to this land, making farming and managing the grassland easy. The 2-storey stone barn can be used for hay and straw over winter and the current set-up is ideal for keeping a horse or other livestock. It is very reassuring to be able to keep these beloved animals close to your home. The garage leans up against the stone barn and will house multiple motors and farm vehicles, depending upon requirements. Private parking and storage space count for a lot in today's world, and are valuable attributes to any residential property. Here at Bendele House, there is ample of each.

From a residential perspective there is a substantial amount of space at the back, in which to develop a combined garden. For example, you could introduce terracing, a patio garden, flower beds, a conservatory, an extension and even separate living accommodation such as a bungalow. Alternatively, there is room to develop something on business lines, such as further stable block, livery yard, garages and workshops.

The field, softly-framed by trees, sweeps gently down to the stream at the end, and the majestic hills of Teesdale can be seen behind in the distance. It would be a fabulous vista to capitalise upon when considering development of this property.

The house itself is indisputably attractive, both in build and setting; The cottage-like front garden with its traditional wrought iron railings, and arched gateway are beguiling. The front, semi-formal garden is currently laid to lawn, with grass either side of a central pathway in a traditional style. The beauty of having an end-of-terrace property is that there is increased outdoor space and flexibility. There is a gateway and roomy terraced path to the right hand side of the property, enabling easy access between front and back gardens without going through the house. On a rainy day, you may prefer to enter the house through the utility, and dispense with dogs, wet coats and boots.

Inside, the house is ready for some renovation and cosmetic work as this house has served a long and successful 'career' as a beloved home to a family of seven. There is masses of scope with three large double bedrooms, large kitchen, large utility and three good-sized reception rooms. There is a large amount of room for expansion into the rear and there are multiple options to take. Viewings are recommended, in order to fully understand the possibilities. Alternatively please call us at Anthony Jones Properties, on , to discuss this further.

Mickleton, with 400+ residents has arguably the best village community in the whole of Teesdale. At the centre is Mickleton Village Hall. The name underplays the hall's above-average size and importance within the community. The hall has seating for over 200 people and, supported by a professional-style kitchen, it can run large events, concerts and parties. There is a stage, PA system, mixing desk and a fully-equipped bar, making the hall able to support musical concerts, such as the highly popular "Mickleton Live". The RnB Club which has gained notoriety in the world of music has seen many established musicians make a journey to Mickleton over the years. There are two excellent and popular pubs - each with their very different characters.

From a day-to-day practical perspective, Mickleton Service Station is one of the life-saving attributes to the village. 24-hour fuel is only a small part of what is on offer. Ranked 7th out of 55 garages in Durham, you may have your vehicle recovered, repaired, serviced and MOT'd by fully qualified mechanics.

Famously beautiful, Teesdale offers a restful palette to the eye, interspersed with some magnificent views and natural wonders, like High Force Waterfall and Cauldron Snout. So, at Bendele House, here in the heart of Teesdale, flanked on all sides by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we are offering a location which is ideal for mindful living. At the same time, schools and, potentially work, are the perfect distance from your home. This unique combination will yield the perfect balance in your life, making this the most brilliant choice. It is a choice that will result in an outstanding lifestyle. For a viewing please call .



Council Tax Band: C (Durham Council)
Tenure: Leasehold
The property is held on an historic 1,000-year lease originally created by the Bowes (later Strathmore) Estate in 1607. This form of tenure, often referred to locally as a "Perpetual Leasehold" or "Virtual Freehold", is common to many homes in Mickleton. It operates in practice much like a freehold, with approximately 582 years remaining and no ground rent payable. There is no active landlord involvement, and such titles are routinely accepted by lenders and valuers on the same basis as freehold properties. Buyers' solicitors should, however, verify the specific lease terms and covenants as part of their due diligence.
