The Property
One wing of a Victorian manor house, The Garth forms part of the historic Undercliff Hall, located in the highly sought-after village of Cleadon. Set within picturesque mature gardens, this substantial family home offers nearly 2,700 square feet of living space, rich in period character and elegance. Just a short distance from the stunning Seaburn Beach and Whitburn, the property also benefits from excellent local amenities and transport links.
The property is approached through an impressive stone-pillared entrance, leading to a long, shared driveway and a spacious gravelled courtyard. The stately façade showcases classic Victorian architecture, with grand proportions, elegant columns, and original features.
Inside, the entrance vestibule opens into a magnificent inner hall, featuring rich wood panelling and an original stone fireplace. The expansive reception hall offers a stunning focal point with a large leaded picture window framing views of the garden.
The full-width drawing room, with its delightful decorative ceiling, period fireplace, and three large south-facing windows, is bathed in natural light and provides a grand space to entertain or relax. The well-appointed kitchen combines modern convenience with traditional craftsmanship, featuring fitted cabinetry, granite work surfaces, and integrated appliances, with direct access to a rear courtyard.
Upstairs, the property boasts four spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double room, highlighted by dual-aspect windows, exposed beams, and a period fireplace. Two further double bedrooms feature original fireplaces, while the fourth bedroom offers flexibility for family use or guest accommodation. The home also includes a study, perfect for working from home or as a nursery. There are two luxurious bathrooms—one featuring a freestanding bath, and the other finished in chic black tiling with period-style fixtures.
A large basement provides additional storage or potential for further development, adding versatility to this already generous home.
