Nestled on the edge of the breathtaking North Pennines, this truly remarkable six-bedroom Grade II* listed medieval manor house offers an exceptional blend of history, character and modern convenience. Situated in the charming Weardale village of Stanhope, the property is steeped in history, with exposed stone walls, flagstone flooring, colossal oak beams, original ancient wooden doors and magnificent Tudor fireplaces throughout.
Arranged over four floors, the accommodation offers exceptional versatility with five bathrooms, three kitchens and three reception rooms, including a spectacular dining room/bar. The ground floor could easily provide a self-contained residence, comprising a recently fitted kitchen, bathroom, living/dining room, bedroom and office/store. The living room features a truly impressive Tudor fireplace which forms a magnificent focal point.
The first floor provides the principal kitchen, large dual-aspect living room, dining room/bar and WC. The generous open-plan spaces enjoy wonderful countryside views, with the dining room/bar retaining many of its original features and having previously served as the main bar during the property's former use as a hotel. Both the kitchen and living room feature large arched stone fireplaces. Independent access to this floor is also available from the rear.
A 16th-century wooden half-turn staircase leads to the second floor, where three spacious double bedrooms can be found, each with an en-suite bathroom and individual period features. A further large room, currently arranged as a living room/kitchen, could readily be reinstated as a bedroom. The third floor is home to the impressive master bedroom, enjoying wonderful southerly views across the surrounding hills and a generously proportioned en-suite bathroom.
Outside
Outside, the property occupies over half an acre, with seating areas to both the eastern and western sides, providing opportunities to enjoy the sun throughout the day. A substantial gravelled driveway offers ample parking.
