The Property
Dene House is a substantial period property occupying a picturesque position in a popular Tyne Valley village. Dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, the property offers a host of attractive features such as high ceilings, large windows and generously proportioned rooms. Offering a delightful semi-rural setting, the property is accessed via a long private driveway and is situated in generous gardens and grounds extending to approximately 3.5 acres. Externally there are several outbuildings as well as a paddock with a timber field shelter.
Everyday access to the property is provided via French doors leading into the spacious kitchen/dining room. A welcoming heart of the home, the kitchen offers a fine range of solid oak fitted units with complementary granite worktops and integrated appliances to include a double oven, electric hob, dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. There is ample space for everyday dining and convenient access to a useful utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The kitchen leads through to a delightful entrance hall, where high ceilings enhance the sense of space and the front door to the property provides direct access to the generous front garden. There are two principle reception rooms. Both the sitting room and drawing room are striking in character and size, with large bay windows providing views over the front garden and flooding the rooms with natural light. Feature fireplaces, period coving and ceiling roses enhance the charming ambience. A cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin completes the downstairs accommodation.
To the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The two bedrooms to the front of the property offer incredibly spacious living accommodation complete with a mezzanine floor leading to a Jack & Jill en-suite shower room, and fitted wardrobes to the master bedroom. There are two further bedrooms which are served by the family bathroom comprising a free-standing bath, shower, wash hand basin and WC.
Externally
Dene House is set away from the main road and accessed via a long private driveway leading to an electronic gated entrance to the property. There is a substantial parking area with security lighting on sensors and space for several vehicles. The generously sized front garden is south facing and mainly laid to lawn. A further lawned area is offered to the rear of the property, adjacent to the parking area. Outbuildings include a log store, garden store and converted barn offering considerable storage space and a room that is currently used as a gym. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 3.5 acres and include a paddock with field shelter. The grounds also include an agricultural building which is currently not in use. Planning permission was previously granted for the proposed conversion into two holiday cottages. This has since expired but could be revisited by interested parties (Northumberland County Council Ref: 11/00332/ful). There may also be additional land available by separate negotiation to purchase or rent.
Agents Note
There is a pedestrian right of access which runs up the driveway of the property.
