2 bedroom property for sale in Bishop Auckland

Properties with 3* acres of land are few and far between especially ones at such an affordable level. This property will appeal to a number of buyers however, we envisage a young family who have an interest in horses or animals or similarly a couple looking to down size. An alternative could be to use the land yourself and rent out the property either as a home or as a holiday rental.

Copley Bent is a quaint village in the Teesdale countryside and is located less than three miles from Hamsterley Forest, which has an extensive network of horse riding trails. The property itself is situated within a row of terraced properties and benefits from picturesque views of fields extending in to the distance. Historically properties here have come on the market and sold in record time and that`s been without the benefit of the paddock that this one can boast.

Upon arriving at the property you are greeted with an entrance porch which is perfect to leave those muddy wellies in after a long days work in your very own 3* acres. The combined lounge/dining/kitchen areas create an open plan living space yet it retains three clearly defined functions with the decor throughout the ground floor being matched to suit the style and its location. The lounge area is warmed by a stunning open solid fuel fire with a decorative cast iron fire surround. You can just image being snuggled up with a roaring fire and toasting crumpets whilst wild and woolly weather is blowing a hoolie outside. The dining area is located at the rear of the house and overlooks the rear courtyard. Here there is the potential to replace the window with a French door thus connecting the interior to the enclosed courtyard beyond. Leading on from the dining area the farm house style kitchen, with its modern sage green finish, is the perfect match for the house and blends in superbly. Extra storage can be found in the pantry at the end of the kitchen.

Off the landing there are two good sized double bedrooms. The Master Bedroom to the front comes complete with fitted wardrobes and an original built in cupboard. Lazy Sunday mornings with the newspaper, breakfast in bed and amazing views across the surrounding countryside sound idyllic. The second bedroom is situated to the rear and overlooks the neighbouring farm where horses can be seen being lunged and broken in. The modern bathroom with p-shaped bath, is the perfect retreat for long soaks in the tub after a hard days riding and tending your land.

Externally to the rear of the property the enclosed private courtyard is where children and pets can play safely giving you peace of mind then in an evening it can become an adult space to enjoy and relax in. Directly across the road is the 3* acres of land that are currently being used as a paddock with hard standing, gated parking area and wooden out building. This is divided in to two parts, one section being an animal shelter and the other a lockable store area.

If horses are your passion and participating in gymkhanas your hobby then this cosy home with paddock is the perfect property for you. Call us today to book a viewing before someone else has galloped away with it.
