Originally dating back to the 1800s, Rose Cottage – a stone-built detached house – has been rebuilt and extensively extended from 2009 onwards.
The result is a spacious and immaculately presented home in a picturesque rural setting with a layout that’s tailor-made for multigenerational living.
In fact, the property’s clever design basically gives buyers two homes under one roof!

The ground floor of each side of the house has a fully equipped kitchen, separate living area and cloakroom.
Added to this, one side has a utility room and snug, while the other has a home office.
Each of the two individual first floor landings leads to a family bathroom and a pair of double bedrooms, one of which (on each side) benefits from an en-suite.

That means everyone, from grandparents to grown-up children, can enjoy their own space and privacy.
One side of the house also has an accessible entrance which makes it a great choice for anyone with mobility needs.
Throughout the house large windows fill the rooms with natural light and frame lovely views across the surrounding countryside, giving the home a calm and welcoming feel.

Outside, the wraparound gardens are a real highlight.
They include a lawned garden with a large potting shed and a raised gravelled seating area perfect for alfresco dining or relaxing on as you watch the sun go down.
On the eastern side a gentle ramp leads from one of the living rooms down to a stone-paved patio with decking and a further lawn.

To the west, a sheltered, sunny courtyard garden enclosed by mature hedging holds a fascinating piece of history – a brick-built World War II air raid shelter.
Last, but certainly not least, is a driveway that sweeps up to a stone-built double garage which offers potential for further development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.
Rose Cottage lies almost equidistant from Hamsterley and Witton-le-Wear.
