The Property
Syke Cottage is nestled just outside the picturesque village of Middleton-in-Teesdale with panoramic views that sweep away from the house across glorious unspoiled countryside. It is an idyllic rural retreat, yet less than five minutes’ drive from all village amenities. Recently extended and renovated with rewiring, replumbing, new central heating, new kitchen and bathroom fittings and fixtures, and a graf waste water management system, the property skillfully blends traditional character and charm with modern living. Syke Cottage is ready to move straight into and start the dream life in the country.
The property can be accessed via a side door into a hallway with access to the downstairs WC or through a lovely garden room with two large picture windows; a delightful space to sit and enjoy the sunshine and views. Both ultimately lead into the kitchen/dining room, the heart of this country home. The kitchen boasts contemporary Shaker style units, integrated appliances, a Rangemaster oven and Rayburn range cooker, alongside exposed brickwork and new flooring, for a stylish and welcoming space, perfect for entertaining and family living. An open area at the foot of the stairs to the first floor makes an excellent home office space and a tranquil sitting room with open fire in a decorative tiled fireplace and windows overlooking the green gardens is designed for relaxing.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is elegantly presented and features a built-in wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with free-standing roll-top bath. Two further beautifully decorated bedrooms, each with their own smart en-suite shower room and built-in storage, complete this floor. All of the bedrooms enjoy gorgeous views over the gardens, grounds and countrywide beyond.
A separate annexe beside the garage, provides a further lovely bedroom with en-suite shower room, perfect for guests or older children as a hideaway.
Externally
Beautiful, well-tended gardens with colourful flowers, planted borders and gravelled paths wind between mature trees and shrubs with delightful secluded spots to sit and unwind. The south-facing patio is an ideal place to enjoy the sun all day for alfresco dining and entertaining with the outdoor BBQ. The grounds run off to a river and woodland to the bottom of the property and paths lead off on countryside walks.
There is ample off-street parking and a garage, along with an outdoor store room and stables. All of the outbuildings have electricity.
A charming shepherd’s hut is situated in the grounds with a double bed, sink and shower room with WC and wash hand basin. This is wonderful guest accommodation or a quirky Airbnb property.
Syke Cottage covers over 31⁄4 acres altogether (part quarry).
