The Property 
High Park House offers an authentic taste of true countryside living. Built with Northumbrian stone from the local area, this two-storey, detached property boasts picturesque views from all four aspects and is flooded with natural light. The house has been extended by the current owners to create two additional bathrooms, a separate utility and a wrap-around sun/garden room, updated and maintained sympathetically in keeping with the original features. Further renovations were undertaken in subsequent years to rebuild the garage externally, converting it into a spacious, open-plan workshop with a studio to the first floor.  

Inside, the generous hallway benefits from plenty of natural light thanks to a glass panel door. From here there are two spacious living areas, comprising a sitting room and separate living space. Both boast a plethora of period features such as picture rails, sash windows and stone fire surrounds with multifuel stoves.  

From the hallway, a spacious kitchen can be found at the rear, fitted with traditional cabinetry to the lower and upper walls, providing plenty of storage space as well as open shelving. Here, an Esse oil-fired range cooker plus electric add-on serves as a focal point, beautifully framed by a stone chimney breast above. Tongue-and-groove panelling and a comfy window seat add to room’s charm. 

Adjacent to this, an L-shaped garden room wraps around the house, offering an abundance of light throughout the day thanks to wall-to-wall windows and doors. A separate utility room, adjoining WC and store cupboard in the hallway complete the ground floor walk-through. 

Ascending to the first floor, the principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes and an ensuite. Three further bedrooms feature, one of which features an ensuite and the remaining two serviced by the family bathroom.  

In addition to the main house is a converted garage. What was once a simple storage building has been transformed into an open-plan workshop and studio living quarters – ideal overflow accommodation for family and friends – complete with full plumbing and electrics throughout as well underfloor as heating upstairs. In the studio itself, the current owners have installed light-maximising Velux windows, an LPG log effect stove and a separate ensuite, making this a fully-functioning space in its own right. 

Externally 
Set in rural Northumberland – a short drive from Bellingham and Otterburn – High Park House is surrounded by open fields and the rolling British countryside, with local highlights including Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest just a stone's throw away. A south-facing front garden, mostly laid to lawn and nestled within stone-built boundary walls acts as the perfect spot for private relaxation, while a paved patio area to the rear means prospective buyers can enjoy al-fresco dining and entertaining.
