Description

This former vicarage is a spacious period property located in the tranquil village of Tow Law, presenting a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. With significant structural improvements already undertaken, including a new roof, gable repairs, and a modern boiler installation, the groundwork for enhancement has been laid. The new owner can focus on restoring and modernizing the interior to create their ideal living space. Characterized by its historic charm, the home boasts original features such as high ceilings, sash windows, and traditional fireplaces which lend themselves beautifully to a thoughtful refurbishment that harmonizes classic design with contemporary comfort. The ground floor comprises a large kitchen/breakfast room that opens into an airy extension overlooking a private rear courtyard. A separate lounge and formal dining room provide excellent spaces for family gatherings and entertaining, while an additional reception room serves as a flexible area suitable for an office, playroom, or cozy snug. Upstairs are four well-proportioned double bedrooms—the two en-suites cater well to family needs—and a generous family bathroom/WC. Furthermore, the expansive attic offers substantial potential for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning approval). Outside, the property is complemented by low-maintenance yard areas at both the front and rear, providing pleasant outdoor spaces for relaxation or social events. Situated in the friendly community of Tow Law, this property benefits from scenic countryside walks and convenient access to local amenities including schools, shops, and cafes. Well-connected transport routes to Durham and Newcastle enhance its appeal. This distinctive home is ideal for buyers looking to embrace a significant renovation project while enjoying ample space and beautiful period features. It represents an exciting venture that promises considerable reward upon completion.
