A private sweeping woodland drive reveals the house gradually on approach and terminates at the west end of the property. A path through wrought iron gates leads to the main entrance. Upon entering the property through the traditional solid oak door, there is a real sense of arrival as you are greeted by a spacious vestibule and wide oak floorboards and a wide and impressive period oak staircase having striking balusters and newel posts. The main reception room is a 28ft drawing room flooded with natural light, which has windows to all elevations and a large stone and brick fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove and stone hearth. The formal dining room is well-proportioned and it benefits from a beautiful stone fireplace, maple flooring and serving hatch, exposed timber beams and is the perfect space to enjoy family meals or to entertain guests. This leads into a cosy and comfortable sitting room again with timber beams overhead and feature stone fireplace with woodburning stove. Towards the rear, the large family kitchen and breakfast room with underfloor heating has bespoke fitted units to base and wall level, a central island, granite worktops, an oil fired two oven Aga set with electric Aga companion in a traditional inglenook, integrated appliances and ample space for a breakfast table. A secondary oak staircase leads to the first floor whilst a door to a rear hallway provides access to a pantry/store room, laundry/utility room, a boot room and a ground floor cloakroom/W.C.
The first floor has five double bedrooms, one currently used as a study. Bedroom 5 is a large double bedroom with its extensive fitted storage and southerly views over the beautiful walled garden. Bedrooms two and three on the east elevation both have dual aspect and bedroom four has views to the front. Bedroom 6 is currently used as a study or a further bedroom if required, whilst there is also an office, which could be used as a dressing room. There is a family bathroom and a further shower room on the first floor. The second floor comprises a spacious principal suite, with its own dressing room and an en suite shower room.
There is additional attic space that could be used for storage or developed with appropriate planning permission.
The house is set in a beautiful formal garden, which is enclosed by Grade II Listed stone walls. The garden is mainly south facing, with terraced lawns and well-stocked, colourful border flowerbeds. There is also a vegetable garden with raised beds and a greenhouse. A driveway approaches the house and outbuildings and leads to the garaging block, which provides secure parking and storage above. In addition, there is a gardener's toilet and a further store room at the rear of the garage and a further outbuilding which would make an ideal office, studio, gym or games room. A purpose built boiler house contains a bio-mass boiler and a large pellet store, which generates quarterly payments from the RHI scheme.
The grounds include a stable block and several paddocks, including a 40 x 20m floodlit arena, a small holding paddock of around half an acre, and the main field, which totals almost eight acres. Both fields include water troughs, while one has a field shelter. There is woodland to the west of the house, which provides shelter and privacy and there is also a 250-tree apple orchard located in the main field.
The property is set in a rural position close to the village of Stocksfield and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has several everyday amenities, including shops, a post office and an outstanding-rated primary school. There is also a station, which provides services to Newcastle, taking 27 minutes. The historic market village of Corbridge is just 9 miles away and has a range of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. Hexham is 11 miles to the west, with its further shopping, supermarkets and leisure facilities. The nearby A69 provides access towards Newcastle upon Tyne, where the A1 can be joined for major routes south and north towards the Scottish borders and Newcastle Airport.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
