Property description
For sale by auction on 23rd February 2015 at the Newcastle Marriott Hotel, Gosforth Park, a large stone-built house with adjoining self-contained cottage and approximately 12 acres of land, set in this rural location off the A68.
Construction of the house began in 2009 but it has never been completely finished and now requires a new kitchen and bathrooms to be fitted in addition to further repair and improvement and is offered for sale as seen.
Looking beyond the current condition of the property, the spacious layout offers generous living accommodation that would be well suited to a family; the entrance portico leads into the entrance hall with an open-plan orangery to the right, providing natural light and views across the fields to the front of the property. This leads into the living room, which can also be accessed from the hallway. The spacious kitchen opens into a breakfast / dining area to the front. The ground floor also has cloakroom and a study/office off the hallway. There are four double bedrooms to the first floor, with the master and guest suites having walk-in wardrobes and en suite shower rooms, which are currently unfinished.
Adjoining Brandon Manor is Brandon Cottage, which is a self-contained annexe that also requires some refitting and refurbishment, with a living room, part-fitted kitchen and utility room, bathroom and a double bedroom. The main house, Brandon Manor, has LPG central heating and timber framed sash windows, while Brandon Cottage has an electric central heating system as there is no mains gas supply to the site.
There are approximately 12 acres of grazing land to the front of the house.
Brandon Manor is situated a quarter of a mile along the lane from the crossroads on the A68 (signposted to Salters Gate). It is approximately 7.5 miles from Consett, along the A68, 5 miles from Castleside and 3.5 miles from Tow Law.
Potential purchasers should also note that there is another adjoining property, Wheatley Grange farm house, to the rear of Brandon Manor, which was sold in 2014 and is not included in this sale.
