Sidehead, St Johns Chapel, DL13

3 bed bed barn conversion with approx. 3.25 acres of grazing land situated in an enviable elevated position with stunning views to the South across Weardale and benefiting from several large outbuildings suitable for use as garages or workshops. The former barn to the neighbouring farmhouse dates back to 1877 and in 2003 a full conversion was completed to change the semi-detached barn into a residential dwelling, all works were completed and signed off to building regulation standards. The schedule of works included all external walls being damp proofed and insulated and the installation of uPVC and wooden windows. In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises of a large living room, equally large kitchen, entrance porch, utility room and WC. To the first floor are 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are large doubles, and a bathroom. There’s certainly scope for reconfiguration to include an ensuite within bedroom 1 if desired. The beautiful views from this property can be enjoyed from both inside and out. There’s a large area of hard standing immediately outside the property which can be used for parking, but equally could be landscaped to create outdoor seating areas to enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. There’s further scope for garden development or parking bays on the site of a former pig shed, an area that is currently laid to lawn. Further potential is offered in the outbuildings, with 2 large garages, one with a high vaulted roof, in addition to an old hay barn and cow shed. A fantastic and rare opportunity for the new owners to put their stamp on this property and create their dream home in a simply idyllic location.
