Folly Yard, Greenside, Ryton, Tyne and Wear, NE40

Originally built around the 1850s, this extended terraced cottage combines period character with contemporary open-plan living, benefitting from a pleasant rear garden with countryside views and a quaint village setting along Folly Lane, at the edge of Greenside, on the semi-rural outskirts of Ryton.

The ground floor has a composite entrance door into the hallway, which flows through to the characterful and generously-proportioned living room with a cosy wood-burning stove and light décor that provides a relaxing space at the heart of the home. There is open access through to the kitchen/dining room to the rear, which is fitted with cream units and includes an integrated Bosch electric oven, gas hob (with extractor over), slimline dishwasher and a fridge. There are two skylight windows that bring in additional light to the room, along with a stable-style composite door out to the yard and the garden/garage beyond. Immediately off the kitchen diner is a small cloaks/utility space with plumbing for the washing machine and a door through to the handy W.C. There is a nicely-proportioned sitting room situated to the front of the house, off the hallway, which has an electric fire, and makes an excellent and versatile additional reception room, which could alternatively be used as a further bedroom or home office.

Upstairs, the landing has two useful storage cupboards and leads to the two spacious double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes along one wall, providing further practical storage. The rear bedroom benefits from those far-reaching countryside views and is adjacent to the bathroom, which is fitted with a modern white suite, including a bath, a separate shower cubicle a wash basin and W.C. set in vanity unit, and a heated towel rail.

Externally, the property enjoys a pleasant rear yard immediately out from the back door, with a decking area, and there is a driveway with a garage directly behind, over the private rear lane. The garage (which measures 5.05m x 3.17m / 16’6” x 10’5”) has electric sockets, a light and a electric roller door, along with a side door for access to/from the garden. There is a small garden area directly to the side of the garage, which opens up to a well-proportioned lawned garden with flower beds behind, with an appealing wooden archway leading through to another, more secluded, patio area beyond, with views directly across the fields.

The house has a Potterton gas combi. boiler (serviced in March 2026) and UPVC double glazing throughout.
