Description

This charming one-bedroom stone cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts in the heart of Alston. Spanning three floors, the property features modern amenities in the kitchen and bathroom while retaining its original character with exposed beams and stone walls in the living area. The quaint ground floor comprises an entrance leading to a functional kitchen equipped with contemporary fittings, alongside a conveniently located bathroom. Ascending to the first floor, you'll discover a cozy living room complete with a cast iron fireplace that can become a stunning focal point. The top floor is dedicated to the generously-sized bedroom, enhanced by Velux windows and authentic apex beams. While the cottage showcases some appealing features, there is considerable potential for further improvement, especially in enhancing energy efficiency or modernizing elements throughout. Externally, a small grassed area and stone flags provide a low-maintenance outdoor space. Given its location within the picturesque North Pennines region, this property represents not just a home but an investment opportunity ripe for development.
