Description

Rainton Grange Steading offers a unique investment opportunity situated on approximately 1.19 acres in a tranquil setting. This traditional farm steading has already secured pre-application approval to convert the stable block into two residential units, making it an attractive prospect for developers or those looking to create rental income. The surrounding steading also presents additional potential for further development, pending necessary planning permissions. Accessed via a picturesque driveway with electric gates, the property features an expansive hardstanding courtyard and substantial commercial-style outbuildings totaling 440 sqm, 207 sqm, and 63 sqm respectively. These structures could be repurposed for various uses or converted, adding to the investment's versatility. Strategically located between Durham, Sunderland, and Newcastle upon Tyne, residents will benefit from serene country living while being close to essential amenities and excellent transport links including the A690 and A1(M). Mains electricity and water are connected; however, private drainage installation is required. The site comes with certain restrictions on future development but retains significant potential within a desirable location.
