3 bed detached house for sale

Lanehead, Bishop Auckland, Durham DL13

An impressive rural property set in the peaceful surroundings of Lanehead, offering a rare combination of a spacious family home, income potential and flexible living accommodation, all framed by far reaching countryside views.

The main residence is a well proportioned three bedroom home designed for practical modern living. At its heart is a bright and comfortable lounge, providing an inviting space to relax while enjoying outlooks across the surrounding landscape. The kitchen has been updated to a contemporary standard, offering ample storage and workspace, and connects seamlessly to a large pantry that provides excellent additional storage rarely found in homes of this type. A separate utility room adds further convenience for day to day living and includes a downstairs WC.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms arranged to provide comfortable family accommodation, each benefiting from natural light and views across the rural setting. The layout has been designed with functionality in mind, making it suitable for families, professionals working from home or those seeking a quieter lifestyle in the countryside.

The home also benefits from a range of energy efficient features, including 16 solar panels which contribute to reduced running costs and improved sustainability. Externally, there is off street parking along with a garage that includes useful loft storage, ideal for tools, equipment or seasonal items.

Attached to the main house is a self contained one bedroom annex. This flexible space is well suited for extended family, guests or independent living arrangements, offering privacy while remaining conveniently connected to the main residence.

Further enhancing the appeal is a separate two bedroom holiday cottage, a well established holiday let bringing valuable additional income. The cottage 'Beckelshele' is currently used as an Airbnb and presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to continue or expand a successful short term rental business. Built around circa 1300, it is one of the oldest surviving Norman summer farms, later becoming a residence for lead miners and their families, giving it a remarkable sense of history and character that sets it apart from standard holiday accommodation.

The property is set within open countryside, enjoying uninterrupted rural views and a strong sense of privacy and space that is becoming increasingly rare. The setting creates a peaceful backdrop, ideal for relaxing and making the most of the surrounding landscape.

A small parcel of land, approximately 0.2 acres, is available by separate negotiation, this may suit those looking for a modest extension to the garden or additional outdoor space.

This is a versatile rural home offering space, income potential and lifestyle flexibility in a highly desirable countryside location.
