Lanehead Cottage has been sympathetically extended and extensively renovated over the past decade, blending period charm with contemporary comfort. The ground floor features a stunning open-plan living kitchen, a bright and airy garden room, a characterful sitting room, and a formal dining room—ideal for entertaining. A versatile fourth reception room offers the potential for a home office, additional bedroom, or snug, and is complemented by a conveniently located ground floor WC.
Above the kitchen, a mezzanine level with its own stylish en-suite shower room offers a flexible space that could be used as a guest bedroom, home office, or studio. Velux windows to the front and rear, alongside a picture window overlooking the garden, flood the space with natural light.
The first floor comprises three generously proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal suite with a sleek en-suite shower room. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, completing the upstairs accommodation.
Externally, Lanehead Cottage benefits from a south-facing garden enjoying panoramic views across the Teesdale valley and nearby reservoir. Ample roadside parking is available to the front of the property, with additional off-road parking located to the rear.
Within the curtilage, a substantial agricultural barn with discrete stabling provides excellent facilities for equestrian or smallholding use. Approximately two acres of high-quality, south-facing meadowland accompany the property—ideal for grazing or recreation.
