“Nestled in the heart of Darlington behind Joseph Pease’s clocktower on Tower Road is this magnificent Victorian home originally designed for Joseph Pease by Alfred Waterhouse. Originally split into several portions internally including the servants quarters, chapel/prayer rooms and the living quarters. This house has been resurrected to life and has been re-proportioned into luxury apartments for the discerning buyer. All eight apartments have been developed into different styles giving the buyer several options depending on which style is favourable; ranging from a one bedroom ground floor apartment through to the two bedrooms, two bedrooms/two storey, double mezzanine decked apartments. Most tastes can be catered for throughout. All apartments have integrated fridge freezer, integrated hob, oven and washing machine, extensive grounds, expansive parking facilities and communal gardens.”

The fountain was presented to the Borough in 1925, and was moved to Darlington’s South Park, about two miles away.
