The garaging is useful but I'd struggle to see that at anywhere near 2 mill. I can't see much special about the area, nice enough but no premium really.Also now over its 2 yr anniversary on RM

Very nicely done. How busy is the road out front?
It’s an A road so it’s fairly busy but not hugely so as it’s near the end of that A road if that makes sense. The house is set back a reasonable distance and there are some trees directly in front between the house and main road that absorb the noise a bit.
I’m only fishing really because we are buying it, should be completing in a couple of weeks (touch wood) will be a big change from our 6 yr old house on a typical new build estate.
If you move closer on google you can see the old house. Massive difference. Shame there’s no photos of the view from the master bedroom.
It’s nothing compared to most on here but we like it.

Good choice - not sure why the garden has such a thick hedge, given it blocks the views across the fields and it's not overlooked?
Wind break! It’s in quite an exposed location and will get battered in the winter. Not an issue for us as we already live about a mile away and know the area has a bleak microclimate at times.

It is done to a very high standard, the sort we're aiming for with our terrace renovation (thread elsewhere)
We can relate to having an open field view too, one of 3 main factors which clinched going for ours.
The only thing I would develop if I were you is putting some serious imagination in to making the garden spaces 'wow'. I can see why they've left it featureless mind, cost and 'blank canvass'

This, 100%. As eluded to in the last post we have a field view, 18.2 miles to be precise, nothing to break the wind. Although we only have a three feet wide alley to the side the wind burns a lot of stuff in the garden. The only reason we don't solid gate it (instead of the existing wrought iron one) is that you have lovely countryside views all the way from the elevated summer house at the back of the garden.

Any gardening will be down to the wife, 100% not into gardening at all. Mowing the lawn is about the limit of my interest.We can relate to having an open field view too, one of 3 main factors which clinched going for ours.

First priority will be getting the dry stone wall sorted at the front. It needs a refresh and we need to make sure the dogs don’t escape.

The reception area being the far side from the neighbour is a nice feature. If you ever have a film cranked up or friends over for drinks you'll not be pissing them off.
There aren’t any neighbours at the moment.The next two houses are for sale and empty. They have been for a while. They are very small terraces that need a good bit of work.
I’m surprised nobody has bought both and knocked them into one as a project.

Each one is only around a third of the size of the one we are buying though and they don’t have the garden space or a garage, or even space for a garage.

Bloody hell, that is a bit of a price difference to yours. Even buying them both comes in at not much more than half the price of yours! Chalk and cheese of course though.
Yeah there’s a bit of a disparity in the village price wise.. this is about 200 metres away. Not my cup of tea though. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prop...

Lovely part of the world. I go to Edmundbyers most years.We had thought about replacing some of the hedge with some kind of glass panel/fence to open up the view down the valley.
If I win the lottery today, I could happily see out my days here.

Other than the current owner and possibly Stevie Wonder, I don't think that's anyone's cup of tea.https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prop...
