Seldom does the opportunity arise to acquire a delightful small holding situated in this quiet country location only 6 miles to the south of the historic city of Durham and only 3 miles away form J61 of the A1(m) at Bowburn which also supports the new Amazon distribution warehouse. This small rural location is also on the doorstep of the busy town of Ferryhill with its mix of local and national shops as well as parks and market day during the week.
Rural small holdings, with superb communication links, do not come available often and it is for that reason we would strongly recommend an early viewing.
The farmhouse itself is accessed off a 100m country road from the main road and has been extensively modernised and improved by the current owners. The courtyard to the rear provides an abundance of parking with the bulk of the 7 acres of paddock land located to the south facing front of the house and side.
An added advantage of this opportunity is the adjoining stone built out buildings which provide existing storage but also have planning permission to convert to provide 3 x 2-bedroom cottages, two of which having an upper floor with a combined floor area of 395 sq m (4250 sq ft) of GIA accommodation. These units would offer superb rentals for additional income, extra accommodation for family members or future sales potential. This is in addition to the main residence which extends to over 2800 sq ft of GIA.
The main farmhouse has a traditional south facing frontage whilst the road, parking and courtyard are to the rear. On entering the property from the front elevation access is provided to an entrance foyer which leads to an inner hallway, access to first floor and access to the living and dining rooms. Access off these rooms is provided to the breakfasting kitchen, utility, rear entrance, and stores. On the eastern elevation the property has been extended to provide a superb family room and study. Traditional wood burning stoves in the formal rooms provide a lovely warm country feel to each room.
At first floor there are 4 good sized bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities and a family bathroom. As advised the farmhouse benefits from have been extensively modernised with new windows, heating system, bathrooms, kitchen, and a sizeable extension on the eastern gable.
Early viewing recommended to avoid disappointment.
Planning Permission - DM/15/02991/FPA
Directions-
