STANDWELL
The sale of Standwell offers an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a sensational house in an outstanding yet accessible location on the north side of the Tyne Valley. This is an attractive and well positioned family house with well-proportioned south facing reception rooms, 5 first floor bedrooms and 3 additional attic rooms. There are a good range of adjoining traditional outbuildings (with potential for conversion subject to planning).
LOCATION AND SITUATION
Standwell House lies in open and unspoilt countryside on the edge of the hamlet of Harlow Hill. The property lies midway (12 miles) between the market town of Hexham and Newcastle railway station. The pretty, honeypot village of Corbridge lies only 6 miles to the south. Standwell is only 8 miles from the A1 and 10 miles from Newcastle International Airport providing excellent access to the main communications network. Standwell is also well situated for gaining access to the Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest and is only a few hundred yards north of Hadrians Wall.
DESCRIPTION
Standwell is a stylish and substantial house built of attractive local stone construction under a slate roof and provides high quality family accommodation extending to approximately 5500 sq ft. The accommodation which is shown on the floor plan includes well-proportioned and mainly south facing main reception rooms and bedrooms. There are high ceilings, featuring cornicing, attractive fireplaces some with wood burning stoves, partial double glazing and some secondary glazing.
Ground Floor:
Reception hall with attractive fireplace, wood burning stove and polished wooden floor leads into a drawing room with fine carved fire surround, display alcove and polished wood floor. Two further reception rooms include the dining room and sitting room both of which have feature fire places. The kitchen has a fitted range of modern matching units and storage cupboards with access through to the mainly timber and glazed conservatory with dining table and slate floors. A utility with Belfast sink and timber worktop leads to the back door as well as to two larders and a laundry room. Off the staircase hall is a cloakroom and separate WC. The staircase leads up past a double glazed picture window to the first floor landing. The utility room gives onto the adjoining outbuildings into what has recently been used as a large tack room and other fantastic covered space beyond.
On the First Floor: Bedroom 1 is the master bedroom with range of built in wardrobes and ensuite shower room. There are four further good sized double bedrooms, two house bathrooms and an en-suite WC on the first floor. The staircase continues up to the second floor.

Buildings
There is an extensive range of farm buildings including barns and stores of traditional stone construction which provide a variety of possibilities, even the potential for further residential development subject to obtaining planning consent. The laundry room from the farmhouse leads into two large tack rooms beyond which are stores, workshop and garages extending in all to about 5,000 square feet of opportunity.
