Spacious period property with private walled garden and panoramic Pennines views.
- Nearly 3,900 sq ft of period living space
Marden House is an imposing Victorian home offering nearly 3,900 sq ft of elegant, flexible living arranged over principal reception rooms and private bedroom suites. Cherished by one family for over 100 years, it blends original features — high ceilings, exposed beams and an oak Art Deco-style stair rail — with thoughtful modern upgrades such as a high-quality entertainer’s kitchen, underfloor heating in key rooms and gas central heating throughout.
The house sits within fully walled gardens of approximately 0.35 acres with mature trees, well-stocked borders and a sun-filled garden room that supports a thriving grapevine. A south-facing lounge with a bay window captures long views across Teesdale and the Pennines, while a gated entrance and detached double garage provide privacy and secure parking for family life.
Accommodation is generous and versatile: multiple reception rooms include a music room/library, study, family/dining room with wood-burning stove, and an AGA kitchen with central island and breakfast/family area. Four bedrooms include a luxury master ensuite with underfloor heating. The plot and room sizes suit growing families, those who work from home, or buyers wanting entertaining spaces.
Buyers should note this is a significant period house in an affluent setting, which brings both character and ongoing maintenance responsibilities typical of a heritage property. Council Tax is Band G and running costs are correspondingly higher. Overall, the property offers a rare combination of period character, modern convenience and countryside views in a prime town-edge location close to schools and amenities.
