Description
Welcome to 3 The Towers. A unique Grade 2 listed building, honest in its beauty and ability to wow. Some 300 plus years old but only used as a home since 2007 when the current owners moved in.
The “Chapel” is part of a 3 acre estate centred around Witton Tower, a 14th/ 15th century Pele Tower, now expanded with Georgian and Victorian wings.
*Details of the history can be found on . Grade 2 listed reference number D36948. National Heritage listed number 1229013.
This freehold property immediately shows its personality with its internal uncovered stone walls and vaulted ceilings with original beams exposed. This ancestry is balanced by modern concepts; underfloor heating provided by an air source heat pump and a well appointed all electric kitchen. Reliable internet provision.
Stepping inside the main living room you can immediately enjoy the drama of the space; the Norman window set into a 4 foot thick wall at the southern end, the vaulted ceiling and the large triple window with great views across the hills.
The room’s ambience is ideal for being the generous host but also encourages intimacy around the contemporary Contura log burner.
The dining room offers a very different living and entertainment space with access to a small, mature private garden – great for a lazy breakfast!
Upstairs are 2 generous double bedrooms and a modern luxurious bathroom – a sanctuary in itself - that reflect the building’s original spirit.
This is a truly unique place to live. The views across the River Wear are amazing. The village of Witton Le Wear is just off the A68. It is pretty and unspoilt, has an excellent primary school and two pubs. It is only 4 miles from Bishop Auckland to the South and Crook to the North. The A68 allows easy access to the A1 and national train service from Darlington.
Each of the 15 dwellings within the estate owns an equal share of the communal gardens which contain a small wood, landscaped recreation areas and ample parking for residents and guests.
