Astley House in High Westwood provides prestigious living in a quiet rural location, and still benefits from excellent transport links to Newcastle and Durham City centres.
Built in 1924 for the then Westwood Coal-Pit Manager, and after the decline of the Coal Industry, Astley House was fully refurbished, extended and developed to provide the stunning family home that it is today. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the house offers unrivalled views to the West in particular which are protected from development, allowing the magnificent landscape and sunsets over Waskerley Moors and the Pennine Hills to fill the panoramic window of the kitchen.
Within the village, is a buoyant and developing cricket club with both women and men's teams, which adds a traditional backdrop to the long and relaxing summer evenings in the expansive garden. Not to mention a wide variety of wildlife that happily continue to pass close by, including deer, red squirrels, foxes and a multitude of birds including the majestic red kite, a popular inhabitant of the Derwent Valley Country Park, which is also on your doorstep.
