Summary
A rare opportunity to acquire one of Castle Eden's most distinguished residences - the former gatehouse to Hudworth Tower. Masterfully restored and reimagined, this four-bedroom, three-reception-room, three-bathroom detached home blends architectural heritage with uncompromising modern luxury.
Description
Presenting a truly exceptional residence of historical and architectural importance - the former gatehouse to the storied Hudworth Tower, now impeccably restored to create a home of rare distinction. Situated in the sought-after village of Castle Eden, this property offers a unique synthesis of heritage craftsmanship and refined contemporary living.
Approached through a private woodland setting, the home immediately conveys a sense of seclusion and prestige. The restoration has been executed with meticulous precision, preserving the original beams, wainscoting, and handcrafted detailing while seamlessly integrating modern comforts such as underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and bespoke, high-specification fittings. The light-filled garden room provides an elegant transition between the interior and the landscaped surroundings, enhancing the home's connection to its natural setting. Expansive private parking and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces complete the offering. Every element of this property has been considered and finished to the highest possible standard, resulting in a residence that is as functional as it is beautiful. More than a home, this is a statement of history, craftsmanship, and exclusivity - a landmark property to be treasured for generations.
