The Property
4 Wylam Hall is a beautifully converted Grade II* Listed apartment positioned within the prestigious Wylam Hall Estate in the popular and pretty village of Wylam in the heart of the Tyne Valley. 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. 4 Wylam Hall is located on the ground floor with easy access which will appeal to a number of buyers with differing requirements.
The front door opens into the spacious open plan kitchen, sitting and dining room with all spaces clearly defined and benefits from a wood floor covering, Dual aspect to the front and rear floods the room with natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a fine selection of country style units with complementary Silestone surfaces and integrated induction hob with extractor over, electric oven, microwave and dishwasher with space for a fridge freezer. A multi-fuel stove creates a welcoming focus to the room and sits centrally between exposed stone alcoves in an inglenook fireplace with feature brick surround. Located to the rear of the room is a useful utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine. There is also a storage cupboard and WC.
The bedroom suite is of good size with a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and dressing table. The en-suite bathroom is well-appointed and comprises a roll top bath with claw feet with shower over, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and WC.
Externally
4 Wylam Hall is approached along a private tarmacadam drive which meanders to the rear of the property through leafy woodland and leads to a gravelled parking area for a number of vehicles. The property is surrounded by approximately 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 outdoor relaxation and al fresco entertaining.
