An incredible opportunity to purchase this stunning six bedroomed imposing
property set within a 1. 7 acre plot (approx. ). This unique property is
perfectly positioned in Low Etherley, a semi - rural village in County Durham,
three miles west of Bishop Auckland. The property is accessed via a private
road leading to the driveway, just off the B6282 which runs through the
village.
Etherley Lodge was built in circa 1820 as a home for Henry Stobart who,
together with his family, owned several collieries in the local area and used
his wealth to build a nearby hospital for injured soldiers.
At the time of construction, the Lodge included several cottages for the mine
workers, a mining office, an icehouse (which remains today), as well as
extensive water gardens.
The house was extensively extended in circa 1912 and again in circa 1986, when
it was used as a nursing home.
Having been left unoccupied and derelict for 5 years, it was purchased in 2018
by its current owners, who have completed a full restoration of the property,
returning it back to its original purpose as a family home.
The main house briefly comprises; living room, formal lounge, two sun rooms,
kitchen/breakfast room, 2x dining room, utility room, cinema room, games room
as well as a bedroom and dressing room to the ground floor. The first floor of
the main house accommodates master bedroom with private ensuite bathroom, 1
bedroom with ensuite shower room, 2 further bedrooms, walk in
wardrobe/dressing room, family bathroom and playroom. The second floor locates
the home gym and office. Externally the property has a large gravelled parking
area. As well as substantial lawns that surround the property.
