This charming, detached Victorian home comprises of a substantial Grade II detached building, which was originally constructed as the Trustee Savings Bank and is perfectly positioned within Allendale Town marketplace.

The property is believed to have been originally constructed in 1873, upon the original site of a 1700’s candle factory, and is of traditional construction with sandstone blockwork under a pitched and slated roof. The foundation of the current building is built upon the stone walls of the original building and (with appropriate planning permission) could be utilised as further multi-use habitable space.

The current building took 3 years to build at a cost of £1000 in 1873, with sign off for 5 Guinee’s by Lord Blackett Beaumont. It was then sold for the first time in 1987, by TSB, where it then became an established village antique and gift shop, which served the local village and tourism sector until 2021, whereby it was then registered as the first current domestic dwelling.

The currently owners have sympathetically restored and renovated the property up to its current well-presented and historic standard.

The property benefits from landscaped gardens to the front and to the rear with two stone-built outbuildings, one including the original Victorian plumbing and toilet system.

The property is a Grade II Listed building. The wall and railings surrounding the front garden are also separately listed.

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this exquisite landmark Grade II Listed detached stone built property that was built in 1873, occupying a prominent position overlooking the market square in Allendale. The property has been fully and sympathetically restored with a fine attention to detail, to preserve its historic and architectural splendour.

To the rear of the ground floor is a generous and well appointed, open plan kitchen/dining space, with free standing cabinetry, brand new 'Rangemaster' Elan electric range cooker, dual aspect windows providing a green outlook and Belfast sink. A door from the kitchen leads into a butlers kitchen/utility room, again with Belfast sink and doors leading into a store/plant room, the rear gardens and back to the hallway.
