Description
Large detached former manager's house for the Bowes Railway (HER 1005) and Springwell Colliery (HER 2599). Built of red brick with Welsh slate roof in 1908. The house is listed because of its association with the adjacent Bowes Railway which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The house was subdivided by a previous occupant and for some time acted as the offices for the Bowes Railway Company Limited. It has now been brought back into single private ownership.
