Property Details
This 19th century cosy cottage is based in a tiny hamlet called Thringarth, which is 1300 feet above sea level. Situated near Middleton-in-Teesdale, a thriving market town, it enjoys views with an arguably unrivalled drama. It sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in a Site of Special Scientific Interest, meaning that it's considered an area of the country that best represents our heritage in terms of geology, flora and fauna. Teesdale is a big draw for botanists, with some of England's rarest plants being found here.
The cottage is accessed through a traditional stable-style door, from a south-facing garden, itself a suntrap with accomplished landscaping and a range of mature plants. You are immediately captivated by the warm environment of the homely, open-plan living space. It wraps itself around you from the moment you walk in, and you feel like warming your toes against the fire.
A bespoke kitchen has been fitted with stunning work tops made of honey-coloured solid oak. The cabinets are painted tastefully in a light sage colour, which compliment the worktops perfectly, and everywhere is painted in a contemporary neutral palette making it light and airy. The kitchen has an oak herringbone floor, which blends beautifully with the flagged floor in the neighbouring lounge. Everything in the ground floor is warmed by the Everhot Range in the kitchen, although there is also opportunity to light the fire in the lounge range. In the comfortable lounge you will be delighted at the copious space for a luxury sofa, soft armchair and dining facilities.
Aswell as being big on luxury, an experienced eye has been kept on practicality whilst designing the interior. Provision has been made for a downstairs cloakroom and utility, both of which have a top quality finish and contemporary feel.
The carpeted cottage stairs lead into two spacious double bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor, where you will continue to be delighted with the colour schemes and the level of comfort and warmth. It is gratifying to find that original features have been preserved and enhanced on this floor, including the exposed beams, uneven walls and vaulted ceiling. It is heart-warming that history can still be enjoyed at a modern day level of comfort.
All windows are Georgian-style, double-glazed and have amazing views across the valley. These have a "tilt-and-turn" feature which acts as a cleaning mechanism. Not only does this ensure that convenience and practicality is consistently provided, but it guarantees that the superb views can always be enjoyed.
