Over Dinsdale Hall is an imposing property set in circa 5.26 acres including woodland and riverbank.
Description
The property is surrounded by stunning formal gardens with wonderful views overlooking the River Tees and was built for the formidable ship builder of the time, Robert Thompson, in 1892 by renowned local architect Hugh Hedley. The design of Over Dinsdale Hall was clearly inspired by the client’s naval roots with the spectacular craftsmanship and substantial design built to shipyard standards. Over Dinsdale Hall was built as a Tudor style mansion with circular drive, this was to be used as the summer residence of the family, which at the time owned nearby Sockburn Hall.
The exquisite design and craftsmanship of Over Dinsdale Hall is still clearly visible in the property today which retains many of the outstanding original features, with the main hall, staircase and galleried landing being excellent examples.
The reception hall leads into the stunning central hall. The central hall has the original decorative parquet floor and stunning stained glass windows, the focal point of the room is the beautifully crafted feature fireplace with wood panelled surround and dressed stone inner. The carved wood panelling is then replicated in the solid oak doors and the arched pillars at the foot of the staircase. The solid oak carved staircase, with decorative spindles and newel posts, has a half landing with a split return to the first floor.
The living room has a striking south-facing bay window with original mullioned windows overlooking the main lawn and a delightful feature fireplace with decorative carved surround. The drawing room has solid wooden flooring and a decorative fireplace and surround. The original large mullioned bay window overlooks the stunning gardens and is a bright and inviting room.
The study and library are both charming rooms that have period fireplaces and pleasant views out over the front gardens.
