Investment Opportunity - A large, extended and characterful stone-built semi- detached house with and annex standing on a generous plot towards the end of Ornsby Hill, elevated from Howden Bank, on the outskirts of Lanchester.

With pleasant views over woodland to the rear, the property has a rural feel despite being conveniently located within three-quarters-of-a-mile of the thriving village centre.

The annex has a kitchen, two shower rooms and an open plan area accessed via spiral staircase.

There is generous garden to the rear which is currently overgrown and to the front is a gated yard which could be used as off-street parking.

Ornsby Hill is situated towards the bottom end of Howden Bank (A6076), which leads from the A691 up through Maiden Law and Stanley towards Tyneside. Lanchester village is close by and provides an excellent range of local shops, schools and other facilities, and the major road links serving Durham and Newcastle, as well as Consett and Chester-le-Street, make this an excellent location from which to commute.
