The Property
St. Aidans is a characterful stone-built detached property occupying an elevated position in Haydon Bridge with fantastic views over the village and Tyne Valley beyond. Originally built in 1893, the property has been sympathetically renovated to offer a host of period charm, with the thoughtful installation of reclaimed fireplaces in addition to original doors and period bathroom fittings. The property offers spacious four bedroom accommodation within easy reach of all amenities, with the added benefit of lovely south-facing gardens and a detached garage tucked away at the foot of the grounds.

The grand front door with attractive stone surround opens to the main entrance hall, whilst everyday access is from the rear elevation to a rear hall with tiled flooring and useful WC to one side. There are two beautiful reception rooms positioned to the front elevation. Both the sitting room and dining room have wonderful bay windows that make the absolute most of the glorious far-reaching views. High ceilings are a fine reminder of the history of the house, with the sitting room ceiling boasting remarkable ornate design. The sitting room has a cast iron fire with tiled inserts and marble surround, all housing a pretty gas fire that is perfectly matched to the styling. The dining room has ample space for a large table and chairs for formal dining and entertaining, with another lovely cast iron and marble fireplace.

A wide opening flows from the dining room into the kitchen with a range of cabinetry at wall and floor level, complemented by solid wood worksurfaces. The centrepiece is a Rangemaster cooker with decorative tiled splashback beneath an extractor hood. The kitchen is served by a separate utility room which houses the boiler and provides additional storage and space for white goods. There is also an external access door from the utility room to the rear patio.

The traditional spindled staircase rises to the half landing then onwards to the first floor. One bedroom and the bathroom are reached from half landing level, with three bedrooms off the upper landing. All four bedrooms are of good size and the principal bedroom is a particularly impressive double. The elevated position at the front of the property brings some of the finest views from the house. This room benefits from two fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with suite comprising bath, wash hand basin and WC. All of the other three bedrooms have pretty fireplaces, and one is currently configured as a study, demonstrating the versatility of the accommodation. The bathroom has a freestanding clawfoot bath, shower cubicle wash hand basin and WC.

Externally
The beautiful gardens are a hugely appealing feature of St. Aidans. A south-facing terraced patio runs across the front of the property with seating space for outdoor relaxing and dining. A rockery within the flagged terrace adds colour and character. This is a stunning spot to take in the views over the gardens and beyond. Stone steps lead down to well-maintained lawns with an abundance of vibrant shrubs and plantings to the borders. High hedges provide shelter and privacy.

A flagged path runs centrally down the garden to a stone pillared gateway with wrought iron gate. Stepping through the gate, over a footpath and through a hedge arch leads to the lower gardens which offer a peaceful and tranquil haven. Terraced lawns drop away gently and a gorgeous summerhouse sits one side, ready to provide a quiet escape. For the keen gardener, there are raised planting beds and a greenhouse. At the foot of the garden is the detached brick-built garage with slate roof.

There is further parking at the rear of the property, along with another patio area and useful outbuilding for storage.
