A rare opportunity has arisen to own this truly stunning detached country residence in a spectacular position above the picturesque River Coquet just 45 minutes from Newcastle upon Tyne. The house sits centrally on over six acres of beautiful pasture, affording the owner wonderful privacy and control over the uninterrupted 360-degree views. The social heart of the house is the spectacular open-plan kitchen and dining room, separated by a double-sided log burner from a cosy garden room with floor-to-ceiling glass, commanding incredible views down the wooded Coquet Valley. The kitchen was completely remodeled in 2015 in a traditional farmhouse style with an Aga range cooker and a large breakfast island. The dining area comfortably fits an impressive twelve-seat dining table, and French doors open onto the large barbecue terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. A handmade oak staircase winds up over the fireplace to a landing and the principal suite, with an oversized copper bathtub, stylish ensuite shower room, and dual-aspect views to the north and south. Opposite the master suite is a second bedroom, above the garden room and again with floor-to-ceiling glass and dramatic easterly views. In the older, single-storey part of the house is a spacious, high-ceilinged sitting room with a powerful Jotul woodburner. Additionally, there are two more large bedrooms, one ensuite and the other next to the main family bathroom with a roll-top bath and walk-in rainfall shower. The fifth bedroom is also a good-sized double, or ideal as an office or nursery. The two-storey wing of the house was built in 2015 to the highest standards using reclaimed local Northumberland stone, and the entire house was re-roofed with the finest Welsh slate. The sympathetic architectural design and attention to detail have allowed the large house to retain the charm and character of the original Northumbrian cottage from which it was developed. There is underfloor heating throughout the new wing, and central heating in the original part, plus the two woodburning stoves. Externally, there is a productive vegetable garden, lawns, attractive flower borders, a stone-paved terrace, and a cobbled parking area. There is a large double garage, built in traditional style with local stone and incorporating a utility room and a spacious workshop. The property is approached along a private driveway.
