The Property
One wing of a Victorian manor house, The Garth forms part of the historic Undercliff Hall, located in the highly sought-after village of Cleadon. Set within picturesque mature gardens, this substantial family home offers nearly 2,700 square feet of living space, rich in period character and elegance. Just a short distance from the stunning Seaburn Beach and Whitburn, the property also benefits from excellent local amenities and transport links.
The property is approached through an impressive stone-pillared entrance, leading to a long, shared driveway and a spacious gravelled courtyard. The stately façade showcases classic Victorian architecture, with grand proportions, elegant columns, and original features.
Inside, the entrance vestibule opens into a magnificent inner hall, featuring rich wood panelling and an original stone fireplace. The expansive reception hall offers a stunning focal point with a large leaded picture window framing views of the garden.
The full-width drawing room, with its delightful decorative ceiling, period fireplace, and three large south-facing windows, is bathed in natural light and provides a grand space to entertain or relax. The well-appointed kitchen combines modern convenience with traditional craftsmanship, featuring fitted cabinetry, granite work surfaces, and integrated appliances, with direct access to a rear courtyard.
Upstairs, the property boasts four spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double room, highlighted by dual-aspect windows, exposed beams, and a period fireplace. Two further double bedrooms feature original fireplaces, while the fourth bedroom offers flexibility for family use or guest accommodation. The home also includes a study, perfect for working from home or as a nursery. There are two luxurious bathrooms—one featuring a freestanding bath, and the other finished in chic black tiling with period-style fixtures.
A large basement provides additional storage or potential for further development, adding versatility to this already generous home.
Externally
The extensive gardens surrounding The Garth are equally impressive, with mature trees, shrubs, and well-tended lawns providing privacy and a peaceful setting. A raised graveled terrace leads down a set of grand steps to a formal lawn, perfect for outdoor gatherings. A second paved patio features a built-in BBQ, pizza oven, and seating area, ideal for summer entertaining. The detached wooden summer house, currently used as a bar, could easily serve as a studio, home office, or private retreat.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
