The Property
3 Wylam Hall Estate is a beautiful converted Grade II* Listed apartment within the prestigious Wylam Hall Estate in the popular and pretty village of Wylam which is renowned as the birthplace of George Stephenson. The Hall is steeped in history. The original building, which belonged to Tynemouth Priory, was destroyed at the end of the 13th century when the Scots under William Wallace laid waste to the village of Wylam. In 1405 the priors of Tynemouth restored the building and it is believed that the remains of that house now form part of Wylam Hall. In the early 19th century, George Stephenson used the driveway at Wylam Hall for his early experiments in making steam engines run uphill without rack and pinion.
The property is now divided into four apartments which are nestled in private gardens and mature woodland of over six acres in all.
The front door of 3 Wylam Hall opens into the entrance hall offering Karndene flooring, staircase to the upper floor and a downstairs bedroom with en-suite shower room which overlooks the pretty courtyard garden. This room is currently used as a craft room but could lend itself to a host of other uses including a home office. The staircase with ornate metal balustrade rises to the upper floor and the sitting room. A room of generous proportions, it benefits from a dual aspect and painted timber cladding to the ceiling. A multi-fuel stove with dressed stone surround and hearth provides a cosy and welcome focus to the room. From the sitting room a short flight of stairs lead to the kitchen with beautiful Karndene floor covering. The kitchen is fitted with a fine selection of quality shaker style wall and floor units with complementary granite work surfaces and integrated appliances including an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher and American style fridge freezer. A useful cupboard is off the kitchen which is plumbed for a washing machine.
A natural flow from the kitchen leads into the dining room and snug which offers a dual aspect to the front and side, ample room for a table and chairs and provides the perfect place for less formal relaxation. Off the dining room is the principal bedroom. This is a fabulous room which is flooded with natural light offering a dressing room complete with an array of hanging space, drawers and shelving. A freestanding roll top bath with claw feet stands in the main bedroom and there is also an en-suite shower room with a mosaic style tiled floor with underfloor heating and exposed feature brick wall. The en-suite comprises a walk-in shower, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit with marble top and glass cabinetry beneath and a WC. The guest suite is located at the opposite side to the kitchen and benefits from tasteful décor and discreet built-in shelving. It is served by an adjacent bathroom fitted in a contemporary style with underfloor heating. There is access to the spacious loft space from both the dining room and dressing room which has been fully boarded with power, lighting and loft ladders.
Externally
3 Wylam Hall is approached along a private tarmacadam drive which meanders to the rear of the property through leafy woodland and leads to a graveled parking area for a number of vehicles along with a garage block, with a communal garage and one allocated to the property. The property is surrounded by over six acres of enclosed communal gardens, manicured lawns and mature woodland with displays of colourful rhododendrons, native tree species and various conifer mixes. A courtyard sits to the front of the property with pretty cottage garden planting and an array of climbers adorning the stone wall boundary. A sun terrace is also in the courtyard, ideal for al fresco entertaining. Off the courtyard a door leads through the stone wall boundary to a potting shed/workshop with power and lighting. A further shed and green house are located in the gardens with a productive vegetable area.
