Piggy Lane, Gainford, Darlington

A stunning, much-improved stone-built period cottage, tucked away in a very pleasant corner of this sought-after riverside village.

Tucked away in a delightful and peaceful corner of Gainford—a picturesque village sitting along a particularly attractive stretch of the River Tees—Westmoreland House is a truly special property. Seamlessly blending gorgeous period features with stylish 21st-century living, this stunning stone-built home offers well-proportioned family-sized accommodation finished to an exceptional standard.

The interior welcomes you through an entrance hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The ground floor boasts a beautiful lounge featuring a striking fireplace with a log-burning stove and an inviting bay window, creating a warm and cosy focal point. In addition, there is a separate, equally lovely dining room, also complete with a feature fireplace and log burner—ideal for formal dining or entertaining.

The stunning kitchen/breakfast room has been refitted with a most attractive range of floor and wall units, equipped with quality integrated appliances. A separate utility room with a convenient ground-floor WC off completes the ground floor layout.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from a lovely en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a fabulous family bathroom finished with a high standard of fittings.

Externally, the property truly shines. To the outside is a good-sized, mature lawned garden offering a wonderful private outdoor retreat. A standout feature of the grounds is the detached garden room/home office, which boasts a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and its own log burner—making it a versatile space for remote working, a hobby room, or a relaxing garden hideaway all year round.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful, highly improved village home in an enviable setting.
