  • Originally constructed in 1903
  • Outstanding detached family home
  • Superbly refurbished and extended
Originally constructed in 1903, this outstanding detached family home provides one of the very best of its kind within the town of Hartlepool. The property has been superbly refurbished and extended. The owners are justifiably very proud of the presentation of this house, which combines traditional period features with modern technology and superb interior design. The house is beautifully decorated throughout and complements its Edwardian period, with high ceilings, double glazed windows set in wood frames and beautiful fireplaces, some of which retain their original frame whilst the inserts have been replaced with high quality Chesney gas fires.

The accommodation includes a vestibule to the western entrance which leads into the central reception hall, which in turn gives access to the southern elevation. The hall has a beautiful fireplace and staircase and leads on to a study at the front of the house, a reading room to the side of the property and a magnificent drawing room on the south and western elevation, with stunning fireplace and bay window.

The kitchen/breakfasting room is at the side of the property and was fitted with Smallbone cabinets and Miele appliances. The kitchen leads on to a utility room, a plant room and through sliding glazed doors to the leisure wing.

The leisure wing accommodates an 8m x 4m swimming pool approximately 1.5m deep, as well as a changing room and shower room. The stone terraces surrounding the pool are impressive and full width bi-fold doors leading out onto the rear terrace and gardens beyond.

To the first floor of the house there are three bedroom suites. Each of the bedrooms has their own bathroom or shower room facilities. Two of the rooms have their own dressing areas. There is a small ironing room leading from the back staircase which connects to the ground floor and the second floor.
To the second floor there are two further double bedrooms, a separate shower room and a large dressing room. The property has a well appointed cellar with two gas boilers and a third boiler for the pool, a comprehensive alarm system and many of the rooms benefit from Lutron mood lighting and built-in speakers to the ceilings.
