6 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated in one of the most prestigious locations in the highly regarded village of Cleadon, we are pleased to offer for sale this substantial period detached house providing extremely spacious and flexible accommodation over three floors. Set in a magnificent mature corner garden site extending to approximately 0.85 acre and being one of the largest sites in the area, the property is approached via double gates and a long drive leading off Boldon Lane and offers high degrees of both seclusion and privacy. The house itself has been greatly extended and altered over the years to provide an exceptional family home which retains a host of attractive period features including high quality internal joinery, original fireplaces and decorative ceiling plasterwork. Particular features include the impressive full height central return staircase which rises from the large reception hall to the second floor, a stunning 23 ft drawing room which opens into an impressive dining room and a good-sized kitchen with a central island unit. To the upper floors the accommodation is particularly spacious and versatile with six double bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom and a large snooker room with a full-sized snooker table. In addition, in an annex to the ground floor, there is an impressively large pool complex with a generously sized swimming pool, changing rooms and showers (requiring an overhaul and some repair)

The property is located in one of the most desirable situations within the highly sought after village of Cleadon with excellent amenities close at hand including restaurants, shops and local schools supplemented by additional facilities in South Shields and Sunderland. Cleadon is perfectly placed for commuting into the Wearside and Tyneside conurbations and to the wider north east area with easy access to the Metro system and the regional road network

This is a very large and impressive detached house of considerable stature and character and, although it requires some updating and repair, internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and versatility of the accommodation and the enormous potential that the property possesses for sympathetic refurbishment and renovation.
