3 bedroom cottage for sale

A striking stone-built semi-detached home in the heart of Shotley Bridge Village, Hawthorn Cottage has been beautifully refurbished to a high standard, blending period charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. With driveway parking, a garage, and a landscaped garden, this is a truly special home ready to be enjoyed.

Stepping inside, the spacious inner foyer immediately sets the tone, with its grand period staircase, statement tall window, column radiator, and LVT flooring. From here, doors open to the lounge, utility, and ground floor W.C. The lounge enjoys a dual aspect, creating a bright and inviting living space, enhanced by alcove storage and a fireplace nook with oak mantle. The utility features shaker-style cabinetry with space for plumbed appliances, while a sliding door leads to the ground floor W.C., finished with gold fittings and a striking hexagonal feature tile.

A couple of steps lead up to the kitchen, passing beneath original plaster mouldings. The kitchen has been transformed into a generous open-plan space with room for dining, fitted with a brand-new Howdens kitchen and a full range of integrated appliances including a Lamona fridge and freezer, dishwasher, and Beko oven. A Belfast sink with gold fittings adds character, while bifold doors open onto a gravelled terrace, extending the living space for alfresco dining.

To the first floor, the landing gives access to three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a loft hatch and drop-down ladder to a boarded loft providing valuable storage. The contemporary bathroom is fitted with a bath and mains rainfall shower over, vanity basin, and toilet, finished with modern tiling. The main bedroom is positioned to the rear, where vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a dual aspect create a dramatic and stylish retreat. An en suite shower room adds further convenience.

Externally, the property has a forecourt garden to the front, with a two-car driveway leading to the detached garage, which is complete with power and lighting. The rear garden begins with a gravelled seating area, then tiers upwards to a delightful cottage-style garden with lawn and established planting.

Every detail of this home has been carefully considered, with recent works including a full re-wire, brand-new heating system with Baxi Main boiler and five-year warranty, newly installed radiators, manual controlled integrated blinds in the bifold doors, and pre-installed supply for an electric car charger. A host of guarantees provide peace of mind, covering everything from the kitchen and appliances to bathroom fittings, radiators, and sanitaryware.
