2 Bedroom House - Semi-Detached

Investment Opportunity – A large, extended and characterful stone-built semi- detached house with and annex standing on a generous plot towards the end of Ornsby Hill, elevated from Howden Bank, on the outskirts of Lanchester.

This interesting period home was originally built in mid-1800, and was substantially extended in the late 20th century to provide accommodation ideally suited to a family once renovated. With pleasant views over woodland to the rear, the property has a rural feel despite being conveniently located within three-quarters-of-a-mile of the thriving village centre.

The house has gas central heating (via combination boiler- not tested), majority double glazed windows some needing replacing and with the main access from the rear, the accommodation includes: main house – kitchen, dining room, lounge, study, lean to greenhouse, entrance lobby (to front), landing, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Third floor is accessed from one of the bedrooms which provides an additional room with two Velux windows and eaves storage. The annex has a kitchen, two shower rooms and an open plan area accessed via spiral staircase.

There is generous garden to the rear which is currently overgrown and to the front is a gated yard which could be used as off-street parking.

Ornsby Hill is situated towards the bottom end of Howden Bank (A6076), which leads from the A691 up through Maiden Law and Stanley towards Tyneside. Lanchester village is close by and provides an excellent range of local shops, schools and other facilities, and the major road links serving Durham and Newcastle, as well as Consett and Chester-le-Street, make this an excellent location from which to commute.
