Esh, Durham, DH7

This delightful two bedroomed cottage has outstanding views to the front across the valley and has been lovingly and sympathetically restored and extended by our clients during their ownership and has an air source heat pump.
On entering the property through the double doors you are greeted by two picture windows enjoying a full view of the garden and across farmland to the surrounding valley. The open plan living kitchen/dining room is flooded with natural light and has a tiled floor with underfloor heating, there is plenty of seating space in the living area, as well as a full modern range of floor units with wood block worktops, space for electric cooker, large sink drainer unit and plumbing and space for dishwasher. There is a utility room with plumbing and space for washing machine under wood block worktops and storage cupboards, and a cloakroom with low level wc and wash hand basin. There is the additional benefit in the living area of two sets of fitted cupboards providing ample additional storage. The living area opens up into the more formal lounge which has a stunning stained glass window as well as a wood burning stove. To the first floor there are two good sized double bedrooms, the main bedroom having two useful storage cupboards. The family bathroom has a white suite comprising low level wc, wash hand basin, panelled bath with shower mixer tap, walk in double shower cubicle with mains fed wall mounted shower, tiled floor and part tiled walls.

The rear garden enjoys stunning views but still offers a good degree of privacy. The garden is accessed via double doors from the living dining kitchen area down some stone steps.

All in all, this property must be viewed to fully appreciate everything that it has to offer.
