Property description
A well-presented and spacious stone-built semi-detached house with an open plan kitchen/dining room with a multi-fuel burner, a garage and a lawned rear garden with a stone-built summerhouse.
Refurbished in 2014, which included a full rewire, the house has UPVC double glazing and gas central heating via combi. boiler, with accommodation comprising: spacious entrance porch, hall with W.C./utility cupboard, living room, kitchen/dining room with Inglenook fireplace and fitted kitchen, first floor landing, two double bedrooms and a single bedroom with a built-in cabin bed. There is an integral garage with internal access from the kitchen, which provides off-road parking. Externally there is a paved, raised front forecourt patio and while to the rear there are steps to an enclosed lawned garden with borders and the stone outbuilding with French doors.
Situated within Shotley Bridge, Backstone Burn runs down from Benfieldside Road and links with Cutlers Hall Road at the bottom. It is
approximately 900 metres from the village, with its restaurants and boutiques, while there are other facilities in nearby Blackhill, and Consett town centre, 1.5 miles away, provides further amenities. The local Shotley Bridge Infants School was classified as 'outstanding' by Ofsted in 2015, while the Northumberland schools (Whittonstall First, Corbridge Middle and Hexham QES) may also be an alternative option. The Derwent Country Walk is close by, as is part of the Coast-to-Coast cycle route, and the nearby A68 provides access to Northumberland, while the A694 and A692 both link to Newcastle, which is 14.5 miles away, and the city of Durham is 14 miles along the A691.
