A much loved family home for our clients for over the 30 years, the property is in great order, having been thoroughly renovated and improved during their tenure of ownership and retains a wide range of original internal and external features including a carved sandstone porticoed doorway, oak panelling, doors and woodwork throughout and an impressive oak "dog leg" staircase .
The main hall itself has been decorated to enhance the uniqueness of the property and provides wonderfully proportioned living accommodation. In addition, the top floor has been converted into a 2 bedroom apartment, with its own private entrance making it perfect to accommodate a teenager or relative or, having previously been used as a conventional rental unit and Air BNB holiday cottage, a useful source of additional income.
Positioned just off the village green, with views from the upper floors to the Pennines and Eden Valley, the house sits in mature formal grounds. With a fine set of traditional gates from the main road through the village, and a second entrance with electrically operated gates to the side, the gardens are laid out in a low maintenance classic style with beech hedging and lawns, along with a pond and wetland area making it a haven for wildlife.
Hidden from view is a generous sized heated workshop, with hot and cold water, power and light, giving the potential for a further source of income. The workshop also houses the biomass boiler system, which provides heavily subsidised heating and hot water for both Dufton Hall and the apartment.
A fabulous opportunity for a discerning purchase, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
