2 bed cottage for sale

Post Office Street, Witton Le Wear DL14

Nestled in a picturesque semi-rural setting with excellent commuter links, this competitively priced two double bedroom cottage is offered to the market chain free and presents an ideal opportunity for first time buyers, young families, or those looking to downsize. Originally constructed as two smaller cottages (separated front to back), the property now offers a spacious and versatile layout. The heart of the home is the inviting dining room, featuring a beautiful original inglenook fireplace that adds warmth and character. The ground floor also benefits from a well-proportioned living room, and a kitchen extension with direct access to the rear garden. On the first floor you will find two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the second floor which is a particular highlight of this property. This large attic room, bathed in natural light from four generous roof light windows, provides a flexible space with multiple use options for the new owners.

The outdoor space is equally appealing, with an enclosed rear garden that enjoys both South and East-facing aspects, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Accessed directly from the kitchen, the garden is thoughtfully designed with a decked seating area - ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing with a morning coffee. Stone steps lead up to a raised level lawn, bordered by raised planting beds that add colour to the space. The garden benefits from open countryside views to the South, providing a tranquil backdrop for outdoor living. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this unique home has to offer.
