A wonderful and rare opportunity to purchase one of the finest development opportunities within Darras Hall and Ponteland!

The Woll is ideally positioned on the extremely desirable Runnymede Road in Ponteland and is a substantial detached period residence that is believed to have been originally constructed in the 1930s. The property was purchased by the current family in 1950 and has enjoyed a variety of improvements which have been carried out over the years including some replacement double glazed windows in part, as well as later additions to the original design.
The property occupies a stunning garden plot, which we understand extends to 0.85 acres, and includes a discreet gated entrance from Runnymede Road, which gives access to a large driveway providing off street parking for multiple vehicles.

The main elevation of the impressive, double fronted, dormer bungalow is a lovely entrance linking into the main and central reception hall which has beautiful ¾ height wood internal panelled doors and fitted display cabinet furniture. Both sides of the hall have their own individual bays with impressive stained glass and access leading from the southern wing into a formal drawing room at the front of the property.

To the rear of the property there is a principal bedroom suite which has access to an en-suite bathroom, and a nursery room or small single bedroom. Also connecting to the master bedroom suite at ground floor level is a later addition under a flat roof extension, which could create subject to consents a large surgery or waiting room that could easily be used as a consulting room since it has its own separate porch entrance at the front of the house, and at the rear a private study.

Returning to the entrance hallway, the access to the northern wing of the property leads onto a very elegant dining room which is fitted to a very high standard with a beautiful bookcase and display case. To the rear, there is a morning room which is connected to the galley kitchen and utility room to the side of the house, which in turn leads into the large garage with several store cupboards and gardener's WC. This also connects onto a further extension at the rear of the house, accommodating a lobby with wine store and a lovely summer living room which has beautiful views over the stunning gardens at the rear.

To the first floor, the staircase leads up to the landing which in turn leads to two further double bedrooms, two single bedrooms and a family bathroom/WC. The principal bedrooms all have views overlooking the gardens.

The garage is located to the side of the property and incorporates an original single garage, as well as a separate garage and outbuildings to the side, part of a later addition, with excellent storage for garden equipment and general hobby space.

The surrounding gardens have been professionally landscaped, maintained, and lovingly cared for over the last 70 years, and feature a number of neatly trimmed lawned areas with fabulous pathways and borders which are superbly stocked with an array of colour and perennial plants. The gardens slip away gently to the rear, down to the banks of the River Pont, where there is a hedge boundary.

Immediately to the southern boundary, adjacent and separate to The Woll garden plot, is a large paddock and grazing field extending to 0.4 acres. This paddock has a separate entrance gate leading onto Runnymede Road and shows obvious potential to be redeveloped, subject to suitable planning and building consent, as a separate dwelling.

The Woll is a very special property and offers an extremely rare prospect for the next owner to place their very own stamp in this incredible desirable residential location!
