The Property
Causey House is a handsome Edwardian semi-detached property, set behind private gates on a secluded plot in one of Hexham’s most sought-after residential streets. Recently renovated with care, the property combines contemporary finishes with traditional period detail, offering refined interiors and generous accommodation arranged over three floors.

The entrance vestibule leads into a welcoming central hall, where high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and natural light establish the home’s character from the outset. To the front, the sitting room is arranged around a wide bay window overlooking the garden, with a marble fireplace and cast iron insert forming an elegant focal point. The room’s generous proportions and classic detailing make it equally suited to entertaining or quiet retreat. Across the hall, a separate study provides a useful workspace with views towards the trees lining the approach.

The rear of the house has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a sociable open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that unfolds in a series of distinct yet connected spaces. Oak flooring runs throughout, grounding the space in natural texture. In the dining area, a wood-burning stove is set within a recessed fireplace with timber mantel, while the adjoining living space centres around a traditional open fireplace with stone surround, complemented by deep skirtings and corniced ceilings. The kitchen is bright and streamlined, with pale cabinetry and quartz-style worktops extending along both walls, and a peninsula offering additional preparation space and informal seating. Integrated appliances include a double oven, induction hob and full-height fridge and freezer. Full-height glazed doors beside the cosy living area allow the space to extend naturally onto the patio terrace, ideal for everyday use and summer entertaining.

A timber staircase rises to the first floor, where a tall stained-glass window filters light into the landing. Three double bedrooms are arranged at this level, each well proportioned, beautifully decorated and filled with natural light. All enjoy views over the gardens, original fireplaces, and the generous ceiling heights typical of the period. A modern shower room with floating vanity and walk-in rainfall shower sits alongside a separate bathroom with traditional suite, claw-foot roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle.

The second floor offers two further bedrooms, both bright, airy and beautifully presented. These are practical spaces that offer flexibility for guests, home working or additional family accommodation. One includes extensive fitted wardrobes, while the other features a crisp, pared-back palette and ornamental fireplace. A well-appointed bathroom with bath, WC and washbasin serves this floor, and a bright landing area at the top of the stairs offers potential as a reading nook or study space.

Externally
Approached from a quiet, tree-lined road, the house sits behind timber gates with a broad brick-paved driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. To the front, a formal lawn is edged by landscaped borders and overlooked by a paved courtyard terrace, tucked between the garage and entrance hall. Sheltered and enclosed, it offers an ideal spot for morning coffee or a quiet moment outdoors. A second stone-paved terrace extends along the side of the house, accessed directly from the open-plan kitchen and family room. This larger area is well suited to summer dining and entertaining, with ample space for seating and a pleasant outlook across the gardens. Mature trees, clipped hedging and carefully curated beds enhance the sense of privacy, creating a peaceful and beautifully composed outdoor environment in a remarkably central setting.
