The Property
This immaculately renovated three/four-bedroom farmhouse and two holiday lets sits on the outskirts of Shotley Bridge, with gardens and paddock. Quarry House Farm has undergone a sympathetic and careful renovation, turning this once traditional property into a stylish, modern farmhouse home. A neutral palette offers peace and tranquility in every room. A forest green aga commands a generous shaker-style kitchen and the two restful living spaces are warmed by a stunning fireplace and stove. The barn and cottage, also modernised and built to a high standard, are currently ran as successful holiday lets, promising a potential income stream or additional flexible accommodation.

A neutral toned, stone flagged entrance hall leads into the reception rooms. An inviting sitting room, boasting a period style tiled fireplace, built in bookcase and access to the gardens sit alongside a light-filled snug. To the right of the stairs is the kitchen, a spacious modern farmhouse kitchen and the central point of the ground-floor, sitting between a cloakroom, separate WC and utility room. Connecting through from the utility is a dining room, which could be adapted into a downstairs bedroom with the added benefit of an en-suite shower room.

On the first floor, a galleried landing leads into two spacious bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom with bath and shower, while the principal bedroom benefits from a full en-suite as well as a flush of fitted wardrobes.

Quarry Cottage is a one-bedroom holiday let with sitting room, kitchen and shower room and benefits from a private parking area to the rear.

To the east of the property is Quarry Barn, a contemporary single story one-bedroom holiday let with superbly decorated open plan kitchen/sitting room and generously sized bathroom replete with shower and bath. The Barn has a private drive with gated access to the main driveway.

The flexibility of the main house promises much adaptability to suit individual needs, while the décor presents an opportunity to put a personal stamp on the property without having to do any further major renovations.

Externally
The main house is accessed by a circular graveled driveway, with gated access to both private parking areas for both holiday lets. To the south of Quarry House is a patio - accessed through the sitting room - for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, and a lovely garden with an easily maintainable mix of lawn and mature hedges, alongside a green house and raised beds, exciting any green fingered family member. There is an additional garden shed and to the north flank of the property is a paddock with shed and outbuilding, for open grazing.
