7 bedroom country house for sale

Woodley Field is an exceptional stone-built period residence, arranged over four floors and extending to more than 5,500 sq ft, forming the eastern wing of a grand Victorian country house. Sympathetically divided in the 1960s, the property is set within approximately 1.2 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds.

Positioned behind a sweeping private driveway and electric wrought-iron gates (with entry phone), the home blends ornate 19th-century architecture, including high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, ornate cornicing, stone mullion windows, and carved fireplaces with discreet contemporary comforts such as smart technology, whole-house networking, zoned heating, and premium finishes throughout.

Enjoy open countryside views over neighbouring fields while being just a short walk from the centre of Hexham and adjacent to the recently redeveloped Queen Elizabeth High School (QEHS). Excellent transport links via the A69, Hexham rail station, and Newcastle International Airport (approx. 20 mins) make it ideal for commuters and relocators alike.

The internal accommodation comprises: double doors opening into an entrance vestibule with stone-tiled flooring, and a door leading into the central reception hall. The magnificent entrance hall is a key feature of Woodley Field and offers original grand ¾-height oak panelling, a period marble fireplace, Karndean Art Select herringbone flooring, and a grand oak staircase rising to the upper floors. The hallway also provides space for a piano, a window seat, and access to a ground floor guest cloakroom and WC.

The hallway then leads into the first reception room, which is placed to the left-hand side and leads into a beautiful dining room with original cabinetry, period carved marble fireplace with log burner and walk-in bay window with views out over the gardens. A further door then leads into a lovely drawing room, again with period fireplace and wood-burning stove, decorative cornicing, dual aspect window and walk-in bay with French doors leading out onto the rear terrace and gardens.

To the right-hand side of the hallway, two doors then lead into the magnificent open plan living/dining and kitchen space, the bespoke Life Kitchen, designed with an interior designer, features a cast-iron AGA, Smeg appliances, and a Fisher & Paykel gas wok burner. It includes quartz and granite worktops, an integrated pantry, a multi-zone wine fridge with a glass chiller, and a dedicated coffee station with a sink. Karndean Art Select flooring with underfloor heating, Lutron lighting, in-ceiling speakers, and discreet Cat6 wiring add to the modern comforts. French doors open onto the outdoor kitchen terrace. To the rear of the kitchen, a utility room/boot room with dog shower, quartz worktops, and full-height sliding cupboards, with door leading to the front driveway.

The living space is located to the rear of the kitchen area and measures 28ft in width, again with period, carved wooden fireplace, further ¾ height wood panelling to the walls and large walk-in bay window with French doors providing access out onto the rear terraces and gardens. This excellent space is perfect for entertaining or for those with young children.

The impressive staircase features a half landing with large windows, intricate carving, and a velvet stair runner with gold stair rods, a centrepiece that reinforces the home’s imposing character and rare availability in Hexham. The landing then leads into four good sized bedrooms, of which three are comfortable double suites, and all with access to private re-fitted en-suite facilities. The principal suite is located to the rear and is a generous double room which enjoys a period fireplace, south facing walk-in bay window with outstanding open aspect views and access to a walk-in wardrobe and contemporary re-fitted en-suite shower room with marble tiles and smart tech heated towel radiator. Bedroom two is also a good-sized double bedroom suite, again with access to an en-suite shower room, dual aspect including a walk-in bay with spectacular views across the valley and towards Hexham. Utility room with sink, storage, washer/dryer space, and a drop-down drying rack with humidistat.

A door from the landing then opens to give access to a private staircase that in turn leads up to the purpose built second floor, with a great living/reading space, and provides two further excellent double bedrooms which enjoy the use of a stylish, re-fitted family bathroom with three-piece suite, including a free-standing bath and separate walk in shower. This floor is ideal for those with visiting relatives or for those with older children.

The second floor also leads into a seventh double bedroom, which is currently setup as a home cinema room with Lutron lighting, in-ceiling speakers, and concealed in-wall cabling for projector and 7.1 surround.

Externally, the property is now accessed by new wrought iron, electronic entrance gates with secure entry phone system that open to a substantial gravelled driveway providing secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

A high-spec annex or garden room sits separately from the main house and includes Karndean Art Select flooring, shower room, tea/coffee station with sink, fridge, hot/cold water, log burner, infrared heating, and bi-fold doors opening to the garden. With Cat6 cabling and a UniFi access point, it’s ideal as a home office, studio, or gym, and offers potential to become a self-contained bungalow (STPP).

The south facing gardens are thoughtfully landscaped with formal planting, level lawns, and multiple terraces. A stream winds through the lower garden, bordered by mature, ornamental trees.
The outdoor kitchen includes granite worktops, gas hob, gas BBQ with rotisserie, water, Lutron lighting, infrared heating and sound system wiring. The garage offers secure storage with a timber-adapted front door. Ample parking, an EV charger, and Hikvision CCTV complete the setup

To the side of the property, a large, paved patio/terrace offers the perfect place to entertain with guests. A separate staircase from the rear of the property leads down and into lower ground floor/cellar which offers practical storage with running water, sink, power sockets, and an approx. 400 sq ft cellar, ideal for wine, hobbies or additional utility space
