DESCRIPTION
Clove Lodge, Baldersdale
Clove Lodge is a superb Grade II Listed detached house in a spectacular rural location at the head of
Baldersdale in Teesdale.
It is remote yet accessible being the last house on a well maintained council lane, 5 miles from
Cotherstone and 8 miles from the larger market town of Barnard Castle with its shops, restaurants &
pubs as well as schools. It is at the mid way point of the Pennine Way, popular with walkers & holiday
makers. The nearby reservoirs offer wonderful bird watching opportunities and total tranquillity.
The views are spectacular with open moorland to the east and reservoirs to the west. The whole area is
part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The property is a range of dwellings offering diverse opportunities to create a thriving business. The
current owners have sympathetically restored the property and run a B&B, holiday cottage & bunk
barn in the main tourist season on a part time basis. These businesses could all be developed to provide
a healthy income and attractive lifestyle.
The main house dates from the early 1800’s and offers light and spacious accommodation, in beautiful
decorative order and retaining the character one would expect of the period. On the ground floor is a
bespoke 30ft kitchen with Aga & integrated appliances and a separate dining room area. Leading off
the kitchen and also accessed from the yard is a useful boot & utility room. There is a lovely sitting
room with open fire, an attractive entrance hall & porch and a downstairs bathroom. On the back of
the main house is a listed medieval hall which has been renovated to provide a fully shelved library, a
study and a superb vaulted drawing room on the first floor with beautiful views over the meadows to
the reservoir. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and two en-suite shower rooms. All the
bedrooms face South and offer spacious, light rooms.
There is an attached cottage, probably added in the Victorian period, which is currently provides
holiday accommodation but could easily be integrated back into the main house. It has a good sized
lounge with open fire, a little dining room, pretty kitchen diner with French doors to the patio as well
as two double bedrooms, a bathroom and en suite shower room. This could be used as a self contained
cottage bringing in some income or would make a fantastic granny annexe.
Across the courtyard is a stone built camping barn offering basic open plan living. There is a modern
kitchenette, shower room and living room with wood burning stove. Upstairs there are two twin
bedrooms and a double sleeping platform.
Outside, there are attractive gardens all around the house. In the courtyard to the side of the house are
a range of stone built outbuildings with a byre, workshop and stable. These have planning permission
for conversion to accommodation.
In the rear yard is a large modern farm building, a large garage with development potential and a
stable building further down the track.
There is the opportunity to purchase 16.5 acres of good meadow land by separate negotiation. There is
a possibility for equestrian use subject to relevant planning permission.
Clove Lodge is perfect for those looking for a rural family home with business potential or early
retirees looking for a total lifestyle change.
Viewing essential to appreciate the location, quality and opportunities offered by this property.
