Forming part of the original colliery manager's house, this substantial property has amazing room sizes throughout, and features two superb reception rooms, each extending to around 22 feet. The central entrance lobby opens to the hall, with attractive ornate archways and turned spindles to the staircase. The living room and dining room lie to either side of the hall, and to the rear, there is a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a 13ft utility room and a large ground floor bathroom/wc, measuring around 12 feet. On the first floor, the 18ft landing leads to four bedrooms, three of which are large doubles. The spacious family bathroom on the first floor extends to 13 feet, and includes a white suite and an additional shower cubicle. Three of the bedrooms and the two main reception rooms enjoy the best views, looking over the formal front gardens towards woodland. A staircase from the main landing leads up to the second floor, where two sizeable attic rooms offer tremendous potential to further develop the living space. Externally, the large, mature front garden includes a summer house and a decked seating area adjacent to the main house. To the rear, the enclosed yard features a high wall and leads to a substantial parking area, and the shared gated drive providing private access to Charlaw House and Sacriston House. Beyond the drive, a second parking area then leads to the back garden with a large greenhouse and a detached garage, with its own gated access.
