Description

Important for its quintessentially English architecture having been designed by Alfred Waterhouse, who also designed the Natural History Museum in London - this Grade II Listed fine English house sports one of the best addresses in the area. To the striking architecture, the current owners have skillfully added an eclectic mix of theatre, soft tones and warm hues to the interior, that succeed in being both exciting and calming and yet perfectly in keeping. In the walled garden, the potager style kitchen garden takes you back to a different era and the views of the Eston Hills, countryside and grounds provide a feeling of being in an English country manor.

Accommodation

From the moment you step inside Cleveland House, you will be enchanted. There are quality finishes, curiosities and historic touches at every turn. From the ancient front door you are taken into a dramatic hallway and from here a truly magnificent staircase takes you to the first floor and then up to a dreamy bedroom in the tower. A bespoke and enchanting fireplace is the focal point of the master bedroom and the custom-made kitchen units are full of surprises such as an integrated bread bin and larder, providing plentiful hidden storage. The dining room manages to feel both formal and informal and the windows to two sides allow light to flood in.

A famous designer was recently quoted as saying: design should be low key, chic and understated, but also rich in detail. Cleveland House has achieved all of this and more and would make a wonderful main - or second home for discerning purchasers looking to buy a luxurious and unique piece of history in a stunning location.
