4 bedroom house for sale

Northfield is a simply stunning detached sandstone dwelling house located on the outskirts of Newcastleton.  The property boasts many period features such as ornate cornices, high ceilings and traditional timber finishes throughout whilst offering an abundance of versatility for use as a large family home or for those looking for a change of lifestyle.  Previously used as the Doctor's house, this magnificent dwelling is set in a generous mature plot laid mostly to lawn with a large sweeping driveway, apple orchard, vegetable patches and a large detached garage which is ripe for conversion subject to planning.  The lovely open views to the front are both unspoilt and a must see, whilst the conservatory to the rear runs the length of the property and sits overlooking the private garden.

The grand entrance hall, decorated in a bold shade of red, offers access to the majority of the ground floor accommodation such as the Lounge, Sitting Room, the old “Dispensary,” Kitchen and Dining Room.  Also located on this level is the Shower Room/Wet Room, Utility Room, Cloakroom and Conservatory.  Both the Lounge and the Sitting Room are located to the front of the house taking full advantage of the stunning countryside views that Northfield provides and, in turn, each have beautiful original features such as intricate cornicing and open working fires.  The dining room and striking conservatory, which opens out to the delightful rear garden, offer additional versatile living space.  The dining kitchen really is the heart of the home with ample room for table and chairs.  There are floor and wall mounted timber units with an Aga run off the oil boiler and access to a large panty.  The utility room houses the oil boiler and a fridge freezer and provides access to the downstairs wet room which has a three piece suite of walk in shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC.  Also located on the ground floor is a useful two piece cloakroom.

On the turn of the staircase is a large feature window and the first floor landing gives access to the four double bedrooms (master with en suite bathroom).  Two of the bedrooms are to the front with stunning views and the other two are located to the garden side.  All have ample space for bedroom furniture and have pleasing traditional features.  Also located on the first floor is the family bathroom decorated in blue with a two piece suite and there is also a separate WC and linen room (which could create another en suite if so desired)

Finally, located on the second floor are two more spacious rooms which could be used for a variety of purposes such as twin home offices, additional bedrooms, playroom or craft room.

Externally, Northfield is set in a mature plot with various plants and shrubs.  With an unspoilt views to the front, the surrounds really must be seen to fully appreciate.  There is an attractive array of fruit trees and raised beds in the rear garden offering a variety of berries/fruits.  The large circular gravel drive offers parking for many vehicles via gated access and there is a shared lane to the side.  Adjacent to the property is a detached two storey sandstone garage which, subject to planning, could potentially create an annex or separate dwelling.

Northfield is located within Newcastleton, a small village enjoying an active community life and offering a very good range of recreational amenities as well as several small shops and restaurants catering for everyday needs, (with Hawick and Carlisle supplying a wider range, both within easy driving distance and served by a good local bus service).  The village also has a Post Office, excellent butchers, church and health centre in addition to hotels.  Copshaw Common Riding and the Newcastleton Music Festival are popular annual events, and there is an abundance of outdoor pursuits available including walking, fishing, golfing and mountain biking which are well served with the neighbouring Kielder Forest Park and the 7stanes trails. The nearby fascinating Hermitage Castle offers a superb attraction and the village Heritage Centre provides an insight into the local history of such a historic area. Newcastleton has an excellent primary school, with secondary education found in nearby Hawick or Langholm. The property is also within easy reach of the M6 and Carlisle to the South, with access there to the main line train network.

The property is located on the left hand side as you enter the village from the B6399 (Hawick side)
