The Property
The Turret forms part of the splendid character residence formerly known as Wylam Manor, now Castle Hill House. Originally constructed in 1878 by prominent Newcastle architect Archibald Dunn as the family home, it is surrounded by gated gardens and grounds consisting of manicured lawns, a “secret garden” and mature woodland. Following a period as the Royal Victoria Hospital Convalescent Home the property was converted into individual apartments. This unique property set over two floors lends itself to residents seeking a grand setting and secure location.

The service charge, which is included in the rent, covers water and drainage charges – there is no meter.

The property is accessed from the ground floor via two private main entrances – double doors into the entrance hallway on the ground floor or a door straight into the turret and up a wonderful spiral staircase to the first floor. The two spacious bedrooms are on the ground floor along with the main bathroom and an en-suite shower room off the principal bedroom. The principal bedroom also has a glazed door to the rear of the property and there is a useful understairs storage cupboard. The décor throughout the ground floor is modern, smart and neutral.

Upstairs, the generous open plan sitting room has ample space for relaxing and entertaining, including space for a dining table and chairs. The amazing turret with its spiral stairs is accessed in the corner. A door leads through into a good-sized, well-appointed kitchen. Again, both rooms are tastefully decorated, with feature fireplaces adding further character.

The bedrooms, hallway, main staircase, sitting room and kitchen all have new flooring fitted.

Externally
The entrance to Castle Hill House is through a pillared gateway with automatic intercom access onto a tarmacadam drive which meanders through leafy woodland. The property is surrounded by approximately 23 acres of enclosed communal gardens, manicured lawns and mature woodland with displays of colourful rhododendrons, native tree species and various conifer mixes. A short walk down a private gated footpath with intercom access from the property leads directly to Wylam railway station platform with onward trains to Newcastle or Hexham and Carlisle.

The Turret has a communal courtyard garden and private allocated parking for two vehicles. There is a separate parking area for visitors.
