Description

This detached three-bedroom farmhouse, set on an expansive site of approximately 4.70 hectares (11.61 acres), offers substantial renovation potential for investors and those looking to create their dream rural home. The property is currently in need of comprehensive refurbishment, making it an ideal candidate for a transformation project. Upon entering from the rear, a porch leads to a kitchen that includes a traditional solid fuel AGA alongside ample base and wall-mounted storage units. The front living room features an open grate fireplace that overlooks the garden area, while an additional reception room stretches across the property's length, benefiting from dual aspect windows. Upstairs, you will find three spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom equipped with essential fixtures. The exterior boasts lawned gardens at the front with mature hedge borders, and the rear offers hardstanding plus access to a large garage/workshop and additional two-storey outbuilding—note that first-floor access in one outbuilding is restricted due to safety concerns. The grazing land to the north is divided into two parcels, enhancing its agricultural appeal. This property presents not only a chance for personal customization but also potential for agricultural investment, amidst beautiful rural surroundings within easy reach of Darlington.
