East Howle Farm

East Howle Farm is your own corner of County Durham, a rural idyll with land yet a business opportunity that is within easy reach of town, city and transport links.
A warm and welcoming family home awaits, together with enormous potential from a range of barns and outbuildings currently including five stables that come with planning permission making them ripe for conversion.
The property is particularly suitable for equestrian uses or a family with plans to raise livestock, those with hobbies requiring storage and space, or as a multi-generational home or holiday let business – the consent already in place is for three two-bedroom cottages.
These properties could provide additional rental income or capital generated from onward sale.
As it stands, the property offers a large and pretty, stone fronted, traditional farmhouse that was extended in recent years, combining the character of the original, older interior with modern additions.
Offering over 2,800sq ft of accommodation, the spacious first floor comprises a large but cosy lounge with exposed beams and brickwork and an inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove; a large, dual aspect dining and family room also with a log burner; and a separate dining room with an attractive beamed ceiling.
The modern kitchen has contemporary country style units and leads into a practical utility space and boot room. A study and a WC complete the ground floor.
The four, very nice double bedrooms are equally spacious. Two have en suite facilities and there is a stylish family bathroom with herringbone flooring and separate bath and shower.
Outside, there is a generous parking area to the rear as well as neat gardens to the front with lawns and a patio with space for a hot tub.

Continued:- - In addition to the barns and outbuildings set around a courtyard, there is a further large barn/hay store as well as seven acres of fenced paddocks with a field shelter adjacent to the property, so it’s more than adequate for owning horses.
A greenhouse and chicken run offer more opportunities for self-sufficient living.
As well as the convenience for schools and access to town, the quiet, countryside location, reached by a private road, will appeal to visiting guests, with the historic attractions, restaurants and leisure amenities of Durham city just six miles away and the A1(M) only three miles away.
