Description

A beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home in a superb position on the edge of Howden-le-Wear, with a separate one-bedroom bungalow at the far end of its extensive garden. Surrounded by countryside and enjoying open views, the property offers generous family accommodation alongside a flexible space that could suit relatives, guests or working from home. The main house has been well maintained and updated by the current owners. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a lounge, study, downstairs WC and a spacious kitchen/dining room. The solid oak kitchen and utility room were professionally refinished in January 2026, with updated fittings and integrated appliances and flooring. A particularly impressive sun room opens onto the garden and makes the most of the outlook. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite to the main bedroom. The house is very well presented throughout, with  improvements including a baxi combi boiler, carpets and soffits, facia and guttering to the main house. Outside, the substantial 300ft gardens offer lawns, established planting and space to enjoy the peaceful setting. At its far end stands the separate bungalow, which has an open-plan lounge and kitchen, a bedroom and shower room. It has also been re-rendered and weatherproofed. To the front, block-paved parking for several cars leads to the garage, which has a new electric door. The setting and the additional accommodation make this a home that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Howden-le-Wear offers a village setting surrounded by countryside, with a primary school and a good range of everyday amenities. The village has two convenience stores, including a One Stop with a Post Office and a Spar with a petrol station, as well as a butcher's, hairdresser's and fish and chip shop. A wider range of shops and amenities can be found in nearby Crook, while Bishop Auckland and Durham are also within reach. It's a lovely location for those looking for rural surroundings while staying connected to nearby towns. Viewing is highly recommended.
