The Old Hall at Westerton, dates back to around 1780 and has retained some original features. It is now a very spacious and beautiful family home measuring just under 300 Sq. m of internal space, sitting on a large plot with beautiful views over towards Coundon and beyond.
Westerton is a small hamlet just outside of Bishop Auckland, perched on top of a hill and is famous for Thomas Wright, a local astronomer having his observatory here (Pictured - directly opposite the Old Hall), and this property is located just on the outskirts.
The property has ample parking on parking area just off the road, there is a double garage and a secure paved driveway. The garden is large - made up of large grassed area, a large pond with plant room, patio areas for entertaining as well as mature planted borders.
The internal accommodation comprises of a large open plan "L" shaped room made up of dining room, reading area and a sitting room with a log burner as the focal point. This room has then double doors that lead into a very generously proportioned conservatory that enjoys views over the garden and beyond, and also has double doors leading to the patio. The kitchen truly is the heart of this house as it lies in the middle of the property. It features not only a selection of units and integrated appliances but also a very useful pantry under the stairs. Next up, there is a second large reception room again featuring a log burner as well as original beams to the ceiling and this room leads into a boot room/utility space with a boiler. Here there is a large store room in addition to the fitted units. Lastly a study with a downstairs toilet completes the ground floor layout.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms - all of which are doubles and two of which feature ensuite shower rooms. the family bathroom completes the layout.
This is a very fine home, that our clients have lavished love and attention on to create something that is very rare. The original features such as the stained glass windows, stonework, beams and beautiful thick walls really need to be seen in the flesh to appreciate so we would recommend a viewing.
