West View, East Hedley Hope, Bishop Auckland, DL13

A beautiful, country cottage that is an absolute credit to the skill and eye for detail of our client, one of the finest examples of its kind.

A unique opportunity to purchase this fully & sympathetically restored Victorian miners cottage in the sought after location of East Hedleyhope, surrounded by the peaceful green fells of County Durham’s Deerness Valley.
Entrance to the property via the boot/utility room with solid wood worktops and built in shaker style units, housing washer, dryer, boiler etc and offering large usable and well thought out storage space.

Stripped pine stained glass double doors lead through to a bespoke, reclaimed Victorian pine, ergonomically designed and fitted kitchen/dining room with 2 large larder cupboards and solid units built around free standing appliances in keeping with the period features found throughout the property.

A glazed pitch pine school house door leads through to the living room which features a stunning original Arts & Crafts cast iron fire surround to the working open fire place with hand built shaker storage units to the alcoves at either side. Solid pine flooring throughout lightens the space and period style cladding closes in the stairs up to the first floor bedrooms and bathroom. From here large sliding double doors open into a good size solid wood conservatory which allows not only light and warmth into the living space but provides clear and open views of the enclosed garden.
Upstairs features original stripped pine flooring, ledged and braced pine doors, column radiators and period features and fittings throughout. The main bedroom is large and inviting with a beautiful decorative cast iron fireplace as the focal point. In the corner, what was a storage cupboard now leads up to an open insulated with VELUX window, attic space which our client uses as an office.
A simple and elegant bathroom with bath and overhead shower riser, reclaimed period sink on cast iron brackets, toilet and chrome radiator/towel rail can be found on your way to the second bedroom which overlooks the end of the valley.
Externally to the rear is a large low maintenance garden area with summerhouse/office (fully insulated with electrics) looking back at the house. Behind that, one 7x7ft Keter storage shed and at the end of the garden a Keter 11x7ft workshop/shed. To the front of the house, off street parking with double wooden gates entrance and patio area which gets the sun from 11am into the evening and has ample space for seating outside. Handy outside taps and sockets are installed front and back, opposite the house there is further parking for residents.
East Hedleyhope lies just a stones throw from Weardale and the North Pennines area of outstanding natural beauty, is 8 miles from the historic cathedral city of Durham and just 1 hours drive from Northumberland’s stunning coastline. Local shops, Doctors surgery and post office are 10 minutes away.
