Copley Lane, Butterknowle, Bishop Auckland, DL13

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase ‘Neamour House' a detached stone built 3 Bedroom Family Home, situated within the much sought after rural village of Copley, close to the North Pennines.

The market towns of Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle are within easy reach, both offering a range of schools, shopping and recreational facilities.

There are many public footpaths, both in the immediate area and surrounding countryside of Teesdale and nearby Weardale, making this a popular destination for walkers, being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Woodland-Gaunless Valley Heritage Walk starts in Copley passing the former mine buildings, the mine manager's house and the lead smelt chimney, now a listed building.

For the commuter, the A688 and A68 are a short drive away, leading to the A1(M) for travel both North and South. There is also a public transport system throughout the villages allowing access to neighbouring towns.

Warmed via Oil Fired Central Heating and benefitting from uPVC Double Glazing, the internal layout briefly comprises, Entrance Hallway with staircase rising to the first floor, dual aspect Lounge/Diner and Fitted Kitchen.

To the first floor, a Family Bathroom and Three Bedrooms.

Set apart from surrounding homes, Neamour House has open farmland to three sides. To the front of the house there is an enclosed garden, which is laid to lawn. Electric timber gates open to an extensive driveway, providing added off road parking for several vehicles, including a caravan or motor home, leading to a Detached Garage.

A low maintenance flagstone courtyard to the rear, offers ample space in which to relax and enjoy the far reaching open views.

In our opinion this property, should prove of great interest to a variety of purchasers and therefore an early viewing is highly recommended.
