Ox Cottage is a delightful, extended, double-fronted property on the High Street at Bishopton, a picturesque village conveniently located between Darlington, Stockton, and Sedgefield. There is off-street parking for two cars, and the unassuming frontage conceals a living space of unique appeal. The cottage’s three reception rooms and three bedrooms are full of character and provide a balance of spacious and cosy accommodation.
The large main lounge runs from front to rear with patio doors giving access to the garden for summer days and a multi-fuel stove for those winter nights. A second sitting room (currently a snug) provides a smaller flexible space that can also be used as a dining room or fourth (downstairs) bedroom. The spacious modern kitchen-diner is well appointed and like the lounge offers views over the garden. An office, shower room, and cloakroom with WC complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, a landing leads to the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. All the bedrooms have great charm with open-beamed ceilings and breathtaking views of the countryside to the rear.
Last but not least, the large southwest facing rear garden is a haven of tranquillity with mature planting, multiple patio areas, and panoramic views. It also houses a large brick-built barn that has power supply and offers space enough for use as a workshop, utility area, and garden storage. Owned solar panels and a recently installed air source heat pump contribute to efficient and eco-friendly energy use.
Ox Cottage is not just a property it is a lifestyle choice, offering a serene environment while being close to local amenities. Whether you are looking for a family home or a peaceful retreat, this cottage in Bishopton is a splendid opportunity not to be missed.
