Sitting at the front of a private 0.50 acre plot. 'Danby House' is an adorable former small holding, located in a prominent spot, looking straight up Trimdon Avenue and backing onto Marton Football Club playing fields on Hall Drive.
Originally home to the village of Acklam blacksmith, the house itself was built in 1878 but it's understood the adjoining stables, cart shed and blacksmiths forge (also included in the sale)predate this by around a century. As a result, Middlesbrough Council gave the site ‘locally listed' status due to its local importance, architectural and historical significance.
Original detailing remains on the outside of the symmetrical double fronted main house. Built from handmade red brick with stone dressings, the date ‘1878’ projects in the gable brick work below a bulls-eye vent opening and an elegant cast iron grill. There's still the original pitch-pine six-over-six sliding sash windows, the original blacksmiths brick hearth and original pitch pine interior doors with brass rising hinges.
More recently, plans have been approved to extend the rear of the main house, convert the stables/outbuildings into an additional dwelling and the blacksmiths forge into a double garage and home office/workshop. See Middlesbrough Council Planning Ref No: 20/0343/ful
