Acorn Close Lane, Sacriston, Durham, DH7

Charlaw House is a magnificent period property, with a wealth of character features, an elegant Georgian-style, double-fronted appearance, and a fantastic plot, including extensive mature gardens, gated off-street parking areas, and a good-sized detached garage. Forming part of the original colliery manager's house, this substantial property has amazing room sizes throughout, and features two superb reception rooms, each extending to around 22 feet. The central entrance lobby opens to the hall, with attractive ornate archways and turned spindles to the staircase. The living room and dining room lie to either side of the hall, and to the rear, there is a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a 13ft utility room and a large ground floor bathroom/wc, measuring around 12 feet. On the first floor, the 18ft landing leads to four bedrooms, three of which are large doubles. The spacious family bathroom on the first floor extends to 13 feet, and includes a white suite and an additional shower cubicle. Three of the bedrooms and the two main reception rooms enjoy the best views, looking over the formal front gardens towards woodland. A staircase from the main landing leads up to the second floor, where two sizeable attic rooms offer tremendous potential to further develop the living space. Externally, the large, mature front garden includes a summer house and a decked seating area adjacent to the main house. To the rear, the enclosed yard features a high wall and leads to a substantial parking area, and the shared gated drive providing private access to Charlaw House and Sacriston House. Beyond the drive, a second parking area then leads to the back garden with a large greenhouse and a detached garage, with its own gated access. This superb period residence has retained lovely character features, including high corniced ceilings and ornate ceiling roses. A much-loved family home for over fifty years, this outstanding house is now available for buyers to create their own perfect family home.

Charlaw House lies at the edge of Sacriston village, and has easy access to local village shops, schools and amenities. Sacriston is well placed for easy access to Durham City and Chester-le-Street town centres. Excellent road links allow easy access to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland.
