The Property
Set within the picturesque Eden Valley and offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, New Bewley Castle is a delightful country home showcasing inviting interiors and beautiful, mature gardens.

Originally built in 1750 and expanded in 1865, the property stands out with its tasteful renovations and unique period details. The house derives its name from 'Old Bewley Castle,' the stones of which were recovered and used in the construction of New Bewley.

Stepping through the impressive oak door, the interior welcomes with a warm and spacious layout. The main living areas are beautifully appointed, featuring thoughtful decoration throughout. The main lounge features original exposed beams, oak flooring, and a multi-fuel stove set within a bespoke stone fire surround. Adjacent is the garden room, a bright, airy space with double glazing, insulation, and custom central heating for year-round enjoyment of the surrounding views of the Eden Valley. Across the central hallway, the snug/library serves as a cozy retreat with bespoke glass-fronted cabinetry, and the adjacent dining room retains unique farmhouse period details such as the original meat hooks.

The northern wing of the house opens to an expansive bespoke country kitchen diner, boasting handmade cabinetry, a Belfast sink, AGA, integral dishwasher, and attractive granite worktops. Alongside the kitchen is a comfortable seating area with a multi-fuel stove. Additional practicalities include a utility room, boot room and WC accessible via the kitchen diner.

The first floor houses the principal bedroom, recently renovated to include fitted wardrobes and an updated en-suite with marble finishes. Spectacular views of sweeping open countryside can be seen from this room. Three additional bedrooms offer ample accommodation, two with fitted wardrobes featuring integrated sinks. These rooms are serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom. The fully converted attic, currently utilised as an office, provides scope for additional living spaces such as a fifth bedroom.

Externally
Outside, the property is enveloped in approximately an acre of lush gardens, featuring mature beech trees, Scots pines, and rhododendrons, with sweeping views down the Eden Valley. The scenic River Eden is just a five-minute walk from the property and is an excellent spot for fishing enthusiasts. A patio extends from the garden room, providing a scenic spot for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. The courtyard offers generous parking for four to five vehicles. The property also benefits from an adjoined double garage opening onto the rear courtyard.
