Description

This vacant four-room detached former farmhouse, set on a generous plot of approximately 5 acres, presents a substantial opportunity for renovation and redevelopment. The property includes multiple outbuildings that can be repurposed, making it ideal for conversion or expansion, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The existing layout comprises three reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and additional utility space on the ground floor, with three further rooms and a bathroom upstairs. Although the property is currently in need of significant updates—evidenced by its low EPC rating of G—it allows for creative redevelopment potential given its size and location near local amenities and transport links in Newton Aycliffe. The previous planning permission for use as a separate dwelling has lapsed but could potentially be revived with proper submissions to Darlington Borough Council. This property is perfect for those looking to invest in a transformative project or create a bespoke residence in a peaceful rural setting.
