Description
Dunsdale was a grand mansion, built for a wealthy local landowner in 1876 and was his home until it was bequeathed to National Childrens Home after World War II. In 1975, it was divided into two unique separate homes, Dunsdale East and Dunsdale West. Both houses have remained in the same ownership since. This truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the most historically and architecturally important properties in this area.
During our client's 50 year period of custodianship, it has been well maintained with care taken to retain where possible the exquisite original features. The interior is grand in stature and refined in detail. The rooms are well proportioned with superb high ceilings and large windows, allowing natural light to flood in and reveal unspoiled views over the gardens, surrounding countryside and beyond to The Welsh Hills.
It is arranged over three levels, plus a sizeable basement, giving over 3400 sq ft (320 sq m) of space. There are three principal living rooms, each displaying great character with stunning original features. There is a spacious kitchen, utility room and a ground floor shower room. Over the two upper levels are five bedrooms and two bathrooms, one being en-suite.
The house offers huge potential for modernisation. We envisage the new owners will invest time and money to create their forever home.
Location
