Description
These buildings were added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'This large imposing 2 storey early Victorian dwelling was the original farmhouse of South Farm and has a prominent location in this part of the village.
The house is of random limestone construction & is of a traditional but unpretentious design, & is set in a slightly elevated position, with an open aspect.
The windows consist of 2 over 2 timber sliding sash style frames, with stone heads & cills. The front entrance door is set in a stone porch, with a pitched gable roof.
The visual impact of the property is enhanced by the dwarf retaining wall, with well-kept lawn behind. Garage block: "An early Victorian farm building, originally part of South Farm, which was converted some years ago into 6 garages, which are accessed from the rear (The Orchard).
The building is visually imposing in an elevated position and is a fine example of random limestone construction, typical of this area & era. The appearance is enhanced by a small Georgian style window in the front elevation but also by the limestone retaining wall at street level, with pleasant landscaping behind. Although the building was re-roofed some time ago with profiled brown concrete tiles, these have weathered well & do not detract from the overall appearance.
This building is referenced in the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan (paragraphs 5.14 & 5.22).'
