Exceptional Detached Stone-Built Home with Semi-Commercial Opportunity in the Heart of Evenwood
Situated in a prominent position within the charming village of Evenwood, this unique and versatile detached stone-built property offers an outstanding blend of modern family living and semi-commercial potential—making it a truly rare find. With characterful features, spacious interiors, and a fully operational MOT testing centre, this property is ideal for growing families, lifestyle buyers, or entrepreneurs seeking a live/work environment with exceptional scope.
The residential accommodation is beautifully presented and features three generously sized bedrooms, making it perfect for families needing a little extra space. On the ground floor, two inviting reception rooms provide warm and welcoming spaces for entertaining or relaxing, while the recently updated interiors include new windows and doors that flood the property with natural light. The gas central heating system adds a layer of comfort, ensuring the home is both energy-efficient and cosy year-round.
Beyond the home lies the semi-commercial element, currently operating as the village's only MOT testing centre. This part of the property includes large workshops, a paint spraying bay, a customer reception area, and ample storage—offering the perfect setup for a continuation of the current business or a range of alternative ventures. Whether you're considering an auto repair business, workshop-based trade, storage facility, or even converting to another commercial use (subject to any necessary consents), the space offers tremendous flexibility and potential. The detached garage/workshop area could easily be adapted to suit various professional, creative, or commercial purposes.
Externally, the property continues to impress. A gated forecourt provides excellent security and privacy, while off-street parking ensures practicality for both family living and business use. The outdoor space includes an enclosed lawned garden to the front, perfect for children or pets, and a private rear courtyard with ample room for outdoor furniture and entertaining.
Evenwood itself is a delightful village offering a range of local amenities, including independent shops, cafes, salons, and a well-regarded primary school—all within walking distance. For commuters, the A688 offers direct access to the A1(M) North and South, with neighbouring towns such as Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle providing additional shopping, leisure, and education options. An extensive public transport network serves the village, with regular bus services connecting to surrounding areas.
In brief, the residential accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to two spacious reception rooms, a dining room, modern kitchen, utility room, and cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find a large master bedroom, two further bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind property that not only offers beautiful living space but also enormous commercial potential in a thriving village location. Early viewing is essential to appreciate all this unique home has to offer.
