Property for sale in High Spen
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
Garesfield Hall
 Garesfield Hall — previously Garesfield CollieryInstitute—
was the miners'
institute associated with the Garesfield Colliery in High Spen, which
at the time it was built in 1904 was in County Durham. When the Consett
Iron Company closed the pit in the 1960s, the building was sold off
by the welfare committee and converted for domestic and business use.
The exterior has recently been renovated and the property offers many options for development: HMO, offices, luxury home, granny annexe, swimming pool...
Description
Undoubtedly one of the most unusual and interesting properties in the area, Garesfield Hall is an extremely spacious 4/5 bedroom detached house standing in a generous corner position with private gardens to all sides. Originally built in 1904 as the Miners Institute and Community Welfare Hall for the Garesfield Colliery, the property was converted in 1965 to a private residence with well proportioned living accommodation and tremendous potential to create further accommodation to suit individual requirements.
Situated on the edge of High Spen village, the property benefits from a quiet, semi-rural location and enjoys delightful open views across the nearby park towards unspoiled distant countryside. It is, nevertheless, convenient for easy commuting to Newcastle City Centre, Team Valley Trading Estate, and the Metro Centre shopping complex.
A further interesting feature of the property is the attached hall, which provides potential to create a “granny annexe”, extra recreation area, or a totally separate living unit with its own access, services, etc. The latter proposal would, subject to the necessary planning consent, create a substantial additional property without detracting from the existing house. The plot is already separately registered with the Land Registry.
