"A spacious village property in a desirable area with mature gardens and excellent renovation potential"
The Property
Positioned on a discreet corner plot in one of Riding Mill’s most sought-after addresses, Dalehead offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached property with striking architectural character and excellent renovation potential. Tucked away behind mature boundaries, the house enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy, with a generous footprint and beautifully established gardens extending to over half an acre, along with views towards the Tyne Valley.
Built in an upside-down configuration to make the most of the garden outlook, the house reveals a surprisingly expansive layout across two floors, with adaptable accommodation of over 2,600 sq ft. Upstairs, the principal living spaces are generous and light-filled, with a vaulted sitting/dining room featuring exposed beams and a broad picture window at one end, framing views over the garden. The adjoining family room opens onto a wide south-facing balcony, ideal for catching the sun throughout the day. A long galley kitchen lies adjacent, with potential to be reconfigured or opened into the neighbouring spaces. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upper floor.
Downstairs, the entrance hall leads to four further bedrooms — including a substantial annexe bedroom of over 23 feet with en-suite — as well as a shower room, large utility room, and a bright garden room opening onto the lawn. While the interiors are dated throughout, the layout is highly versatile, and the house offers a compelling canvas for modernisation.
Externally
The house sits within beautifully established grounds, enclosed by hedging and mature trees that offer excellent seclusion. The rear garden is wide, gently sloping, and predominantly laid to lawn, with a mix of specimen planting and ample space for further landscaping. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, the size and positioning of the plot may also present scope for the creation of a secondary dwelling or ancillary accommodation. A single detached garage sits to one side, with driveway parking for multiple vehicles.
