Features and description
Rare to the market, this is a true ‘chocolate box’ property steeped in history and rich with character. Nestled in the quintessential idyllic north east coastal village of Castle Eden, this is an exceptionally stunning 3 bedroom dream home.
This Grade II Listed property is full of real period charm, originally built around 1850 for the groundsman / game keeper of the main Castle. The Lodge is situated at the main entrance gateway to the Castle at the end of a private road, opposite the quaint Grade II Listed St James Church. The adjacent woodland is officially registered as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a true slice of history. The location is ideal to relax and escape the bustling world and enjoy the wildlife, walk the dogs and watch the local squirrels or deer. It’s a few minutes stroll along the country lane to the local Castle Eden Inn and a short stagger home. It’s also ideal for walking, within close proximity to the Castle Eden Walkway, only 10 mins drive to the beach and a quick hop on the A19 away from Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle and Middlesbrough.
The lodge has been beautifully extended a few times over the years, with each architectural addition clearly dated in the stone work, creating a lovely visual log of the properties journey as the developments are seamless integrated with the original features and stonework. This property is much larger internally than you may perceive from the front, being somewhat of a spacious surprise for a full family to enjoy and entertain.
As you approach the property you are instantly charmed by the original stonework walls and windows, complimented by the decorative facia boards, original medieval front door and bell housing, surrounded by mature landscape gardens filled with lovingly nurtured flowers and shrubs. The properties curb appeal is nothing short of picture postcard. The property includes a large private driveway and garage, with gated entrance.
On entering the property you are greeted by a spacious reception / boot room with tiled floor, ideal for returning from country walks. You are immediately struck by the thickness of the original stone walls and the depth of the windows. As you continue through the property you are welcomed into a large living room with stone fireplace and log burner for cosy nights in. off the living room is a step down into a charming snug room which is perfect to relax with a good book and chill, with a good size study room to the right. Off the study is a large modern kitchen with sleek white units, stainless steel appliances and extractor hood, complimented with light cream Metro wall tiles and large white floor tiles. The kitchen features a large breakfast island, with a window through to the garden room beyond.
To the rear of the property is a huge light filled garden room, which features 3 sets of French doors leading out onto a large stone patio, with an additional pair of large full length double windows and a pair of sky lights. This is a multipurpose space currently enjoyed as a dining room and garden room, ideal for relaxing or entertaining family and friends, connecting seamlessly with the garden to really enjoy the outside in style of living during the warmer months. To the rear of the garden room is a modern bathroom complete with toilet, sink and walk-in shower unit. The garden room also features internal bi-fold doors through the centre to divide the space, so the rear of the room could be utilised as an additional guest accommodation with its own bathroom. Off the garden room is access to a large garage / workshop space with a WC, which is ideal for washing up after working in the
garage or cleaning your dogs after a muddy walk.
The first floor features 3 well-proportioned double bedrooms and a good sized family bathroom with feature roll top bath, all accessed via a central landing space. The first floor bedrooms and landing enjoy glimpses of the history of the property with lovely exposed beams running throughout the vaulted ceiling spaces.
The garden wraps around the side and rear of the property and is extremely well maintained. The large rear patio is secluded and a real sun trap, with steps leading off to lawned areas. A BBQ and outdoor dining table a situated on the top lawn to make the most of summer garden parties.
