The property is a stunning Victorian residence with a long and rich history. Construction of Myrobella House was completed in 1898 and it was built in this part of the 'Trimdons' because of its close proximity to the local coal mine. The house was reputedly occupied by the Manager of Trimdon Colliery and it was situated to give him access to (and control of) the pit and the miners who lived in the terraced streets around Myrobella. It has been suggested that the house was given its name in reference to the 'Mirabelle' Plum Trees that grew in the garden and the outside space must have seemed a peaceful haven in contrast to the industry close by. Residents still remember stories of the the property being occupied by the local School Mistress and in recent times Myrobella House has found fame as the home of a former British Prime Minister and was visited by President George W Bush in 2003 as well as playing host to the Presidents of France and Ireland.
For outdoor lovers, the property is situated within reach of a variety of Conservation and Wildlife Trust Sites in and around the area including those in Trimdon, Bishop Middleham, Sedgefield and Bishop Auckland and there are lots of opportunities for cycling and walking. The area also has a long and varied History with traditional long standing links to agriculture, industry, politics and sport making it ideal for exploration, research and family days out!
