Whitfield Brow, Stanhope

Internal accommodation continued
A staircase leads to part of the first floor, where there are four bedrooms, one of which could equally serve as a further reception room, together with a re-fitted shower room.
From the main hallway, a door leads into a further substantial reception room/games room, with sliding doors opening into the impressive sun room extension, which enjoys a lovely outlook over the gardens. From the games room, a staircase leads to a further first-floor area providing two additional double bedrooms and a shower room.
Cottage/annex accommodation
The cottage/annex can be accessed either directly from the games/reception room or via a separate external entrance. The ground floor provides a generous reception room and kitchen, while the first floor offers two bedrooms and a bathroom. This arrangement provides considerable flexibility and could be ideal for dependent relatives, older children, guests or potentially continued use as independent accommodation.
Outside
Externally, the property continues to impress, sitting within extensive and well-established gardens which take full advantage of the elevated position and uninterrupted countryside views. A broad patio area has steps leading down to the principal lawn, which is interspersed with a variety of mature trees, evergreens and established planting. The gardens enjoy a good degree of privacy and provide significant potential for a number of outdoor seating and entertaining areas, all against a truly spectacular rural backdrop.
To the front of the property there is a single garage/workshop, carport and extensive gravelled parking area providing ample space for multiple vehicles.
Moorlands occupies a magnificent elevated position overlooking Bollihope Burn, with far-reaching views extending across Bollihope Common and towards Catterick Moss. The setting is undoubtedly one of the property's most impressive features and provides a wonderful sense of space, privacy and tranquillity.
Location
Much of the surrounding area is situated in the North Pennines National Landscape, providing an outstanding setting for walking, cycling, riding and a wide range of outdoor and country pursuits. The nearby village of Frosterley provides a primary school, village shop and public house, while the larger market towns of Crook, Bishop Auckland, Stanhope and Wolsingham are all within convenient travelling distance by car. Most supermarkets offer home delivery to Whitfield Brow.
For those requiring access to the wider region, mainline railway connections are available at Durham and Darlington, with a further railway service available from Bishop Auckland. Newcastle International Airport and Teesside International Airport are also accessible by road.
Properties offering this combination of scale, versatility, independent accommodation and truly spectacular Weardale views rarely come to the market. Moorlands represents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly adaptable home in an exceptional countryside setting.
