Full description:
A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire what is possibly the area’s most magnificent Grade II Listed Georgian Manor House. Tudhoe House sits majestically on a mature site, with gardens in excess of one acre, at the heart of Tudhoe village green, designated as Conservation Area. The property is a truly stunning home of wonderful proportions, offering family accommodation of the very highest quality.
As the property exists at present, it offers an adjoining wing known as Laburnum House (available separately), which is totally self contained. Laburnum House boasts four double bedrooms, bathroom, two reception rooms and dining kitchen, also over three floors. However, if the two properties were bought as a whole, the current owners of the property have prepared plans to re instate and further Extend the property to one imposing dwelling. These proposed plans have been discussed in detail with Local Authority and in principle agreed. The plans incorporate the addition of an indoor swimming pool together with further garaging, courtyard entrance and orangery.
Built in Circa 1825, the property retains many original features, and has been extremely well renovated and refurbished to the highest specification. As a character family home the property offers everything a discerning buyer could possibly wish for. Tudhoe House has cellars, large ground floor reception rooms with open period fireplaces, and a substantial handmade maple contemporary kitchen with open plan formal dining space overlooking the village green. The drawing room is of particular note with its beautiful, full height bay window overlooking the garden, one of many attractive Georgian features internally. There are five double bedrooms on the first floor, a family bathroom and shower room. The second floor boasts an extensive games room as well as another very large bedroom with en suite, which could make an alternative master suite or a private floor for a teenager or staff.
The sale of Tudhoe House is a very rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, large scale and spacious property of historic and architectural significance close to Durham City yet very much in a rural setting.
