Surrounded by open countryside, this charming stone-built terraced cottage is located in the highly sought-after semi-rural village of Waterhouses and enjoys beautiful countryside views. Offering spacious accommodation, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, and gardens to both the front and rear, the property is sure to attract strong interest. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Accommodation:  The property is entered via a delightful cottage garden to the front, leading into a welcoming entrance hall which benefits from a useful under-stairs storage cupboard.

The well-proportioned lounge, featuring a multi-fuel stove burner, flows seamlessly into a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room, offering ample storage, generous worktop space, and room for a family dining table—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

To the rear of the property, a hallway provides access to a utility room and WC.

The first-floor landing leads to two double bedrooms, including a particularly generous master bedroom enjoying attractive views to the front with feature decorative fireplace, and a second double bedroom which benefits from two built-in storage cupboards. Completing the internal layout is a family bathroom with shower over bath.

External:  Externally, the property boasts a charming cottage-style garden to the front. To the rear is a yard area leading to a garden, which enjoys an open aspect overlooking fields and a recreation ground.

Additionally, the garden includes a substantial workshop building, historically used as the former washhouse for the street. This versatile building offers excellent potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Location:  Situated approximately 7.5 miles west of Durham City, the property is within around 15 minutes' drive of the city centre. Waterhouses offers an excellent village setting with access to the surrounding countryside, while also benefiting from a village hall, local pub, play park, and schools all within a 10-minute walk.
