RESCUED and revived by its current owners, this Grade II Listed Victorian mansion house is the perfect blend of old and new. Brimming with charm, The Court, Undercliff Hall, is the only surviving intact mansion house and grounds in the area.
The stunning family home has been restored to its former glory and sits within an acre of beautiful walled grounds. Craftsmen have painstakingly restored the property including all the original sash windows. Just three minutes’ walk into the heart of Cleadon village, the property is within easy reach of amenities including boutique shops, bars, and restaurants.
The magnificent house has the added benefit of a detached cottage within the grounds. The main property includes a splendid entrance hall with marble flooring and double doors leading to the terrace. The country-style breakfasting kitchen features quality integrated appliances and marble flooring. Originally the laundry house for the mansion, the room has dual aspect overlooking the quaint courtyard. Double doors lead to the original kitchen gardens. The light and bright drawing room has an abundance of period features including a Victorian fireplace and 15ft sash windows. There is a large dining room overlooking the gardens, as well as a homely family room with large inglenook fireplace that is ready to be restored.
On the first floor two staircases provide access to the North and South of the house. The master bedroom features a Victorian fireplace, walk-in wardrobe and fabulous en suite bathroom, also with fireplace. There are two further bedrooms, both with en suites housing free standing baths and far reaching countryside views. Originally the Victorian gardeners cottage, the detached cottage has also been restored. It features a double height vaulted ceiling with exposed original beams and a mezzanine level. There is a fitted kitchen and bathroom with further potential to replace the lost glass orangery on the South side. The gardens are a particular feature of the house and include a private secure courtyard at the front of the house, providing parking for four cars.
There are a wealth of areas for entertaining, from large decking areas to original Victorian terraces. The acre of gardens have all been restored from their original landscaping featuring an orchard, Victorian ladies’ walk and formal mature gardens.
Bradley Hall’s Durham office manager, Gabrielle McKenna, said: “This beautiful and spacious property is set within a traditional and historic mansion house, including many carefully restored and original features. “The intricate and detailed interior and exterior features of the Court create a great deal of character and charm.
“Over one acre of creatively landscaped, private gardens offers the discerning homeowner, their family and guests the opportunity to explore and enjoy its grounds. “The property has been beautifully restored and decorated by its owners, who have created a luxurious and classic family home.”
