1-2, Stones End, Evenwood, Bishop Auckland

1-2 Stones End is a rare opportunity to acquire two stone-built properties on a single plot of just under a quarter of an acre in the heart of Evenwood, complete with lapsed planning permission for a third detached home and no onward chain.

Number 1 has recently been used as a beauty shop and comprises of a shop front/waiting room, a rear treatment room with a sink fitted, and a hallway at the rear. It features electrical heating via storage heaters. The first floor comprises of a generously proportioned room which could offer storage or additional accommodation and this is accessed via a ladder. Number 1 offers a multitude of potential uses including incorporating into number two to create one big, 4 or 5 bedroom property, or changing it to a property to let as our clients have submitted pre application advice to the council seeking direction on changing its use to residential from commercial.

Number 2 is a substantial, double fronted, three bedroom house that has undergone a programme of refurbishment keeping some of the house's period features intact such as the stain glass windows. Both reception rooms feature bay windows providing ample light. The kitchen is located at the rear of the property and overlooks the garden, and a rear hallway provides access to the back. A Cloakroom/wc completes the layout on the ground floor. The first floor has three bedrooms - two generous doubles and a single and a very impressively sized bathroom made up of a toilet, sink, double spa bath and separate shower cubicle. The rear ground floor extension has recently had a new rubberised roof.

The property sits on an extensive plot which had planning permission for the building of a detached three bedroom house, which in itself would be a good sized property. This permission was granted in November 2018 and has since lapsed.

Stone's End lies in the centre of the village which boasts a number of local amenities that include a couple of convenience sized supermarkets, food outlets, beauty shops, two primary schools - both rated as "Good" by Ofsted, a garage and pub. Evenwood also lies a short distance from both the retail park at Tindale and Bishop Auckland town centre.
