Traditional Stone Built Cottage | Beautifully Renovated Throughout | Central Lanchester Village Location

A beautifully renovated two bedroom stone built cottage, positioned in the heart of Lanchester village centre and offering a lovely blend of traditional character, modern presentation and everyday convenience.

The current owners have thoughtfully improved the home, creating a warm, stylish and practical property that feels ready to enjoy from the moment you step inside. With two bedrooms, a comfortable lounge, modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom, small rear yard and a useful outbuilding, the property is ideal for buyers looking for charm, convenience and manageable living in one of County Durham’s most sought after villages.

Further improvements include triple glazing to the front three windows of the property, helping to improve comfort while retaining the attractive appearance of this traditional cottage.

Ground Floor

The ground floor offers a welcoming lounge, creating a comfortable everyday living space with a warm cottage feel. Exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace add character and charm, while the fresh, considered finish gives the room a calm and inviting atmosphere. The result is a home that feels well presented and easy to live in, while still retaining the appeal of a traditional stone built property.

The kitchen has been tastefully updated as part of the wider renovation, creating a practical and well presented space for day to day living. Fitted with shaker style wall and base units, it provides useful storage and workspace while sitting comfortably with the cottage’s character. Clean, modern and easy to use, it adds to the home’s stylish yet welcoming feel.

First Floor

To the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom provides a pleasant and comfortable space, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, dressing space or home working.

The bathroom has been thoughtfully improved to create a stylish, contemporary space. Finished with attractive modern tiling, it features a freestanding roll top bath, corner shower cubicle, vanity wash hand basin and WC, offering both character and practicality.

Outside

To the rear, there is a small yard which provides a private outdoor area for seating, potted planting or storage.

There is also a useful rear outbuilding, which could be used as a home office, hobby space or storage, making it a particularly practical addition for anyone working from home or needing a separate space away from the main accommodation.

Please note, the outbuilding is not included within the title deed for the property. However, we are advised that there is an insurance policy in place in perpetuity, which covers fees relating to any challenge of ownership of the outbuilding, up to a maximum of £190,000. Buyers should seek confirmation of the policy and its terms through their solicitor as part of the conveyancing process.

Please also note, there is no allocated parking with the property. However, there is a publicly accessible car park to the rear of the property, which is free to use.
