Staindrop House is a limewash-rendered 18th-century family home that stands proudly in the heart of the village after which it is named, its clearly Georgian architecture providing a glimpse of what you can expect once you step inside.
Lovingly and sympathetically renovated and now presented to an exceptionally high standard, this family home of note includes 6,964 sq ft of flexible accommodation with signature Georgian large sash windows and high ceilings, amongst other features.
Accessed from the pavement via a Tudor-arched front door, the elegant entrance hall with feature tiled floor offers a warm welcome. Off it flows the ground-floor accommodation: a rear hall with cloakroom, a fitted utility/boot room with garden access, a rear reception hall with a circular sky lantern and a door to the terrace, a drawing room with bay window and feature fireplace, a morning room with a circular sky lantern and French doors to the rear garden, a vaulted dining room with wooden flooring, a sitting room with a fireplace and a games room with French doors to the terrace.

At the centre of family life is the flagstone-floored kitchen/breakfast room that’s home to a range of contemporary fitted units with wooden worktops, a large central island with breakfast bar seating to one end, a double Belfast sink and a range of modern integrated appliances in the kitchen, with a bay-windowed dining area adjoining it.
The property also benefits from generous cellarage, including a wine store.
Stairs rise from both the entrance and rear reception halls to the first floor, which is home to the principal bedroom with a dressing room and adjacent shower and bathrooms, the latter with freestanding bath, plus a further bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a library/study with a neighbouring shower room.

Staindrop House’s four remaining bedrooms are located on the second floor. Three of them benefit from en-suite bathrooms.
Double electric gates and a vehicle arch to the left of the property give access to gravelled private parking with room for several cars, while double gates to the right of the property lead to additional parking as well as to two semi-detached cottages.
The first of these cottages comprises an entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting room, fitted kitchen and two ground-floor bedrooms, plus a third bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom upstairs.

The second cottage is made up of a kitchen/breakfast room and a generous first-floor sitting room and bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
The versatile nature of the cottages means they could be used in a multitude of ways, including as guest accommodation, for multigenerational living or even to generate an additional income stream, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.
The beautifully landscaped walled rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with well-stocked flowerbeds, shrubs and mature trees. It features numerous seating areas and a large paved terrace with steps rising to a raised terrace off the games room and rear reception hall, making it ideal for entertaining and alfresco dining.
