Positioned in an elevated position to the West of Hill End and above Frosterley, this 1 bedroom property has a history stretching back over 400 years. The building has served many purposes, including being a deer hunting lodge for the Bishop of Durham. The property was renovated in recent years, however this is not a typical property, and despite the idyllic location, beautiful views, and renovation works which were completed by previous owners, there are significant limitations and all interested parties should familiarise themselves with the notes below before making any enquiries.
In brief the accommodation comprises of an entrance hallway with stone floor, shower room with WC and electric shower (powered by generator only), a basic but well presented kitchen area with wooden work surfaces and stainless steel sink, a cozy living room and a large double bedroom to the first floor. The property boasts stunning countryside views from all windows.
Externally the property benefits from a south facing rear garden, external storage area, courtyard area on the site of the former barn, enclosed walled front garden area and patio seating area. In addition to the garden there is a field measuring approximately 0.28 acres to the Western side of the property. The field is rough grazing land, is enclosed by dry stone walling and enjoys fantastic panoramic views.
Additionally, there is a derelict building included within the sale which is positioned to the Western side of the field and is immediately next to the main house.
The views and tranquility this property provides both inside and out, present a unique opportunity for a buyer looking for a quiet place to relax for short stays and to enjoy the Weardale landscape in all its glory.

Agents Notes:
- The property would NOT be suitable for mortgage borrowing
- It would be very challenging to use the property as a permanent residence as it is NOT accessible by vehicle and is a 10 minute walk over very uneven, and in places, very wet terrain
- Accessible via public footpaths only (across fields, very uneven and very wet in places)
- Water supply is via a spring which is situated within a neighbours field and piped directly to the property with no tank and no filtration system, the water is NOT currently suitable for drinking
- NO mains electricity supply, the current owners do have a generator for periodic use to power the electric shower, lights and sockets
- A brand new solid fuel Rayburn is included within the sale, however this would require installation by the new owners
- NO fuel supply to the property of any type
- Sewerage - Small septic tank, which would likely require replacement to meet current regulations. There is permission in place for a compliant septic tank to be installed just outside of the boundary to the Southern edge of the property
- Viewing STRICTLY by appointment only, all applicants must ensure they do not stray from public footpaths on to neighbours land and should ensure all gates passed through are closed
- ALL boundary walls are the responsibility of the property owner

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
