INTERIOR
RECEPTION HALL:
The front door opens onto a carpeted reception hall, heated by a wall-mounted radiator.. Carpeted stairs ahead rise to the first-floor bedrooms and bathroom, an internal door to the right opening onto the open-plan lounge/diner.
DINING ROOM:
13‘ 7? (4.13m) x 12‘ 0? (3.67m)
The neutrally decorated dining room is comfortably large enough to accommodate a table and chairs for six, with alcoves either side of a decommissioned chimney breast. To the left is a window overlooking the driveway and to the right is an alcove ideal for shelving.
Warmth in winter is provided by a large, wall-mounted radiator, with all switch plates and wall sockets finished in a smart, brushed aluminium.
Additional internal doors from the dining room lead to a large, under-stairs storage cupboard and through to the kitchen, with a glass-panel patio door allowing plenty more natural light as well as direct access to the rear courtyard.
The considerable sense of space is also enhanced by the wide archway through to the living room.
LIVING ROOM:
13‘ 7? (4.13m) x 11‘ 11? (3.62m)
Accessed from the dining room and with the cosy ambiance of a snug, the living room benefits from matching carpets with ample natural light allowed by the large window overlooking the front garden.
The eye is drawn by the authentic brick-built fireplace equipped with a multi-fuel stove, supplemented by wall-mounted radiators either side of the window.
The room also includes a TV and satellite connections with wall-mounted uplighters fitted either side of the chimney breast as well as on the facing wall.
KITCHEN:
20‘ 3? (6.18m) x 6‘ 9? (2.05m)
Natural light floods the galley-style kitchen through windows on two sides, with additional light after dark provided by two banks of adjustable, overhead spotlights.
The room benefits from a stone-effect, tiled floor, with oak effect worktops and cream gloss base and wall units offering plenty of storage above and below. The design also incorporates an eye-level electric oven and grill and an integral microwave oven above, as well as a four-ring induction hob beneath an extractor.
There‘s also a built in washing machine and a built in fridge/freezer, while a stainless steel sink sits beneath a north facing window overlooking open fields and far reaching views. The oil combination boiler sits to the right of the sink.
Ceramic splash-back tiles have been fitted above all the cooking and preparation spaces while the room is heated by another wall-mounted radiator. An external door allows access to the rear courtyard directly from the kitchen, while the windows are fitted with sash blinds.
BEDROOM 1:
12‘ 0? (3.66m) x 10‘ 10? (3.31m)
This is the largest of the three bedrooms with an awning window overlooking the front of the property and across the road to open fields. Decorated in soft, neutral colours, the room is carpeted and warmed by a wall-mounted radiator
BEDROOM 2:
11‘ 11? (3.62m) x 10‘ 9? (3.27m)
Similar in style and d?cor to Bedroom 1, Bedroom 2 overlooks the rear of the property and over open fields through a large awning window, with warmth provided by another wall-mounted radiator beneath.
BEDROOM 3:
8‘ 8? (2.65m0 x 5‘ 10? (1.78m)
Currently used as a laundry room, Bedroom 3 is large enough to accommodate a small single bed and also has potential as a nursery or perhaps as a home office
Overlooking the front of the house through an awning window, the room is carpeted and also decorated in softer neutral tones.
BATHROOM:
9‘ 0? (2.75m) x 6‘ 10? (2.08m)
Benefiting from a water-resistant, wood-laminate floor, the well-proportioned bathroom is otherwise fully tiled and includes a dual-flush WC, drop-in hand basin set within a double-doored vanity unit, a mirrored medicine cabinet and a panel bath with a shower above.
Mosaic-effect tiles offer a little variety to the d?cor while the room enjoys ample natural light allowed by the opaque awning windows which overlook the driveway below.
EXTERIOR
Set apart from surrounding homes, Neamour House enjoys a private location off Copley Lane, with open farmland to three sides and screened from the road by a natural boundary. An asphalt drive leads through an electric timber gate along the right-hand side of the property to a detected single garage.
A low stone-built wall divides the drive from a lawned front garden with a flower border and shrubs. A flagstone path leads along the front of the house to the glass-panelled front door.
A private flagstone courtyard to the rear of the property can be accessed directly from both the kitchen and the dining room with extensive views from here across open farmland to the north.
LOCATION
Enjoying a semi-rural location midway between Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland, the property is within a mile of the linear hamlets of Copley and Butterknowle, surrounded by open farmland with the wooded banks of the River Gaunless a little to the south.
Amenities in the area include the Teesdale Cheesemakers, just a little to the east along Copley Lane, woodland walks in Gibbsneese Plantation and the Gaunless Circular Walk - both close to Copley. Further amenities include the Royal Oak in Butterknowle (due to re-open on 2022), a doctor‘s surgery, Co-op convenience store and the Queen‘s Head pub a couple of miles away in Cockfield. The latter village is also home to a primary school rated ?outstanding? by Ofsted following its last inspection in 2011.
Buses from stops on Sun Road in Copley offer regular connections to Cockfield and Barnard Castle ? the latter on the banks of the River Tees and home to the regionally renowned Bowes Museum. The town also boasts a good selection of high street names, a large Morrison‘s superstore, independent shops and businesses, coffee shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs.
Bishop Auckland approximately eight miles to the north-east is also home to a larger Morrison‘s superstore, as well as a retail park boasting a Sainsbury‘s superstore, a Tesco Extra, a large branch of Marks and Spencer and a good selection of other edge-of-town brands and fast-food takeaways.
Trains from Bishop Auckland Station offer Northern services towards Saltburn on the east coast as well as Middlesbrough, with stops including Darlington on the East Coast Main Line.
