Description
Langley Cottage is a lovely property which is offered to the market with no onward chain. It is a stone built cottage, situated down a quiet track with a pleasant outlook over the beck, hence the name of the street. It’s well presented and decorated in neutral colours with woodwork, and solid doors.
The accommodation comprises of an entrance porch with Cloakroom/wc which opens into the main living area - with patio doors opening onto the garden, an under stairs store cupboard and a log burning stove. The kitchen is located to the front of the property and features a selection of units for storage presented in pastel green, with worktops, tiled splash backs and some integrated appliances along with space for others. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms which are accessed off a wide and light landing - the master bedroom features two windows so could potentially be split to change the property to have three bedrooms. The shower room completes the layout.
Externally the property has parking for two cars to the front, whilst the rear of the house features a walled garden that has artificial grass.
Staindrop is a beautiful village located between Bishop Auckland in one direction and Barnard castle in the other. The village offers a few local shops and amenities but perhaps most importantly, a Primary and secondary School (Academy), both rated as "Good" by Ofsted.
