5 bedroom detached house for sale

We are privileged to present The Close being one of the first and finest examples of a period residence in this premier location in the heart of the conservation area of Cleadon Village. With historical local significance having once been the home of Thomas Brigham, a local shipyard owner, the current owners have occupied the home since 1975 and have extended and altered the accommodation to meet their family's requirements. The time has come for the home to have its next owners and the potential exists again to put a fresh take on the residence. The home has the benefit of occupying one of the most private and largest garden sites in the heart of Cleadon Village circa 0.51 of an acre with double access to the north and south off private lanes. It enjoys easy accessibility into the local amenities of Cleadon, including the fabulous restaurants and other hospitality businesses and is well linked for Sunderland to the south, Newcastle to the west and South Shields, as well as the metro transport system offering access throughout Tyne & Wear. The mature gardens are a delight to behold with their south aspect, whilst the five bedroom accommodation has four bathrooms and four reception rooms along with one of the largest garages we have seen in a while to house the families vehicles. A once in a lifetime opportunity and one not to be missed, we welcome the chance to show you this substantial home.
