Description
This delightful cottage needs to be viewed to understand the deceptively large interior and peaceful setting. The cottage is instantly appealing, set back from a very quiet road, with its fresh white-washed facade and very successful stock of roses all around.
Adding to its appeal, it is eminently accessible; There is ample parking at the front, on an attractive, block-paved front drive. Parking is smooth and convenient, adding to the luxury feel, and residents pull on via a dropped curve from the road.
Upon entering the cottage, it is clear that this is a home with high standards. The entrance hall sets the tone for what is beyond. Smart, newly-refurbished walls, new floor coverings and neutral decor greet you and draw you in to an oasis of coolness, comfort and calm.
After the entrance hall, the eye is led to the substantial open-plan kitchen/sitting room. This is an expansive reception room connecting a modern kitchen with comfortable milling and living space. A multi-fuel stove is the focal point in this sitting room, with its white walls and the occasional exposed beam.
Cool in the summer and cosy in the winter right through, this theme continues into a second, equally large but slightly more formal lounge which has a dual purpose with its formal dining area. French doors open into the conservatory giving a further touch of luxury and flexibility. Another multi-fuel stove anchors the focal point in this multi purpose, L-shaped lounge/diner, making this an excellent reception room in which to entertain family and friends.
A conservatory offers a multi-purpose space, over-looking an established garden with a pond, whilst the utility houses the engine room of the house. Everything has been thoughtfully included, resulting in a clever blend of practicality and quality.
To the bedrooms: Each bedroom is different in character but of equally high quality. All rooms are double rooms and have tilt-and-turn windows, offering that extra helping hand on window-cleaning days. All bedrooms and the family bathroom, have been refurbished to a very high standard continuing the light-and-airy, calm and neutral colour schemes.
An established garden wraps around this very neat south-facing cottage. It has mature flowering shrubs and climbers, beautiful cottage lawns and is framed by flower-topped stone walls. This makes it a lovely space for family and for the resident gardeners.
Winston is a quiet village, 10 miles from Darlington and 6 miles from historic Barnard Castle. The latter is a thriving market town and teeming with both mainstream and artisan shops. This means that residents will find they have access to a full range of amenities, Winston Lodge therefore has the best of both worlds; On the one hand it enjoys the peacefulness that the rural village of Winston enjoys, and on the other, it has access to shops and amenities, clubs and societies, when the need arises.
Winston itself is an idyllic village with a famous bridge which was originally built for the transportation of coal. It once held the claim that it had the longest single span arch of any bridge in Europe, and in 1988 in the film "Piece of Cake", a spitfire flew under it, piloted by one of the founding members of the Red Arrows. Anchored by a Grade 1-listed, 13th century church. Winston offers beautiful riverside walks along the River Tees. These walks feature ancient woodlands, tranquil farm tracks and scenic crossings.
In summary this is a beautiful single storey cottage in an idyllic village which has been restored to a very high standard.
