UPSALL Hall has always been a pretty special family home – a cut above the rest.

Built in around 1873 by John George Swan – who co-established and managed Cargo Fleet Ironworks in Middlesbrough as well as had his fingers in the pie of a number of other coal, iron and coke businesses throughout the North-East – it was a family residence befitting his status and in thee height of fashion, adopting as it did a French Renaissance style favoured by many more affluent homeowners at the time.

It has always been amongst Teesside's finest homes, and remains so today – although it did have a slightly more spartan period in its existence when it was bought by the local authority in the 1960s and turned into a day centre which was subsequently closed then sold in 2017 to once again be turned into a family home.

Today Upsall Hall might be a grade II listed property, but it is also a thoroughly modern home, stunning refurbished and beautifully finished to the most minute of details, from decor to die for to all the mod cons the most discerning of homeowners could want. It also offers all the space you could ask for, both inside and over 13 acres of gardens and grounds.

From the moment you enter the double electric gates and negotiate the sweeping carriage driveway though the immaculate grounds and up to the front of the house, you know it's special.

Step inside and that's immediately confirmed by your first impressions – a spacious entrance hall with feature fireplace, porcelain tiled floors, decorative pillars and a stylish staircase which wouldn't be out of place in the grandest of mansions.

Off of this lies the extensive ground floor accommodation – a modern kitchen dining room with integrated appliances and an island unit; utility room; grand drawing room with feature fireplace and bay window overlooking the gardens; dining room with the most magnificent wood panelled walls and wood-framed windows; two cloakrooms; a period library with classical wood mouldings, panels and book shelving plus a decorative fireplace and an expanse of almost floor-to-ceiling windows – including a beautiful arched window – which allow light to flood in, and a cinema room.

There is also cellar space and a boiler room.

Upstairs, off the pillared landing with roof light, are the spacious master bedroom with a dressing room and luxurious en-suite bathroom with separate shower and free-standing bath; guest bedroom with dressing room, four further double bedrooms, two family bathrooms, a dressing room and a shower room.

With so many highlights in the main house it seems almost trite to label the attached leisure complex as such, but it's a description which is certainly fitting.

It is home to a gym plus a simply stunning pool room with sauna, Jacuzzi, cloakroom, showers and a bar area with seating, plus bifold doors which open on to the terrace which is home to a covered fully-equipped outdoor kitchen. The perfect setting for relaxing as a family or entertaining.

If that weren't enough accommodation for you, there is a refurbished three/four bedroom property in the grounds called The Old Stables, plus outbuildings, all set in 13 acres.

Laid mainly to lawns, the immaculately maintained gardens are bounded by mature trees to provide a great degree of privacy and are home to a pond. There is also an adjoining paddock.

Upsall Hall has new windows, gas central heating and benefits from a smart home entertainment system throughout. For those who would like to take on a project – or require even more space to grow into – the currently unused top floor offers further potential to convert.

Upsall Hall is situated in Nunthorpe and is on the market at a guide price of £3m.
