A charming and highly individual three/four-bedroom detached character property occupying a desirable position within the sought-after village of West Boldon. Dating back to 1753, this beautifully presented home centres around an impressive entertaining courtyard and offers a unique blend of period charm and contemporary living. Having undergone significant extension, reconfiguration and refurbishment in recent years, the property is finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout.

Externally, the property benefits from a double-length carport, additional cobbled driveway parking and generous enclosed walled gardens. The thoughtfully landscaped grounds include a summerhouse, lawned areas, established planting and a fabulous Mediterranean-style courtyard, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Enjoying an excellent degree of privacy, the property is nevertheless conveniently situated for a range of local amenities, well-regarded schools and transport links. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the flexibility and character of this unique home. The sale is offered with no onward chain.

Room Descriptions

Accommodation Versatility & Scope

The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide considerable flexibility and a variety of potential uses. The layout would enable the property to be divided and operated as two independent living spaces, if desired. This arrangement could provide the opportunity to generate rental income through a holiday let/Airbnb, accommodate a dependant relative or provide independent accommodation for a carer. (Please refer to the floor plan with shaded areas illustrating this potential configuration.) There is also clear scope for further extension, subject to any necessary consents (see the additional floor plan highlighting this potential).
