A substantial stone-built detached house situated immediately off the A693 between Consett and Stanley, with three reception rooms, four bedrooms, a triple garage and a large garden.
Originally built in the 1890s, as two houses - one a woodcutter's and the other a colliery manager's home - East Castle House has also been a pub, which served the local hamlet, but has for many years been a spacious family residence with views over across the surrounding countryside. The current owners are downsizing and reluctantly selling a much-loved home, which has uPVC double glazing and gas central heating (via Worcester combi. boiler). The accommodation comprises: entrance porch, dining room, living room, sitting room, spacious fitted kitchen, first floor landing, three double bedrooms - one with an en suite shower room - a fourth bedroom and a large bathroom. There is also an attached store to the side of the house and three garages - a double garage and adjoining single garage. There is a block-paved patio garden to the rear, a lawned front garden and a large lawned garden to the side, alongside the spacious driveway, which provides parking space for several vehicles. There is a septic tank for drainage, which is located in a small, fenced area of the field just across the side road.
East Castle House is situated just off Pontop Pike Lane and the A693, approximately 3.5 miles from Consett and 4 miles from Stanley town centres. The A693 provides a major road link to the surrounding areas, with Newcastle and Durham both 11 miles away.
