Garden Cottage is ideally located within the highly desirable Woodlands Hall Estate, near the popular rural village of Knitsley. The estate is accessed via an impressive stone pillared entrance with a shared tree lined driveway approach to the eight properties that make up the estate. Woodlands Hall was originally built in 1779 and was built by Robert Adam, for the renowned landscape designer Thomas White, a pupil of Capability Brown, responsible for landscaping many great properties in the North-East and Scotland including Gosforth Park and Scone Palace. Garden Cottage is a delightful country dwelling within a small community of properties that once served the estate of Woodlands Hall, and many of the names of these properties reveal their past function with a Forge, The Dairy House and The Coach House.
Knitsley is within a rural setting, lying south of Consett, within the Durham Dales and close to the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Close by is the village of Lanchester, an active community with multiple pubs, churches, schools, a post office and a number of amenities. The local town of Consett has also a range of shops and facilities.
