Summary - THE COTTAGE WHITWORTH SPENNYMOOR DL16 7QX
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period home with large gardens and three garages.
Former Dower House with strong Georgian character and high ceilings
A rare Georgian former Dower House on the Whitworth Hall Estate, this spacious four-bedroom semi-detached home combines grand period character with extensive gardens and outbuildings. High ceilings, large windows and sandstone elevations create elegant living spaces, while two reception rooms with log burners and a separate formal dining room deliver flexible family arrangements.
The property sits in large, mature gardens on three sides and includes three garages plus an allotment plot with greenhouse, shed and raised beds — ideal for gardeners or hobbyists. Stunning views over the adjacent Deer Park and proximity to country walks and Brancepeth Castle add significant lifestyle appeal.
Buyers should note practical considerations: oil-fired central heating, septic tank drainage, an EPC rating of E and double glazing fitted before 2002. Exterior walls are original sandstone/limestone with no assumed cavity insulation, and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. These factors may require investment to improve energy efficiency and modern connectivity.
This home will suit buyers seeking a rare period property with generous grounds and scope to upgrade. Its size, outlook and three garages offer clear value for family living or those wanting space for vehicles, storage and outdoor projects.
