House For Sale £590,000
35 Oldgate has been in the same family since it was built in the late 1800's. Offering a unique living environment and a wealth of period charm with features including elevations of rockfaced stone, Welsh slate roof tiling, mullioned windows and directly below the eaves, a distinctive 12-light window which extends from the west around to the south-facing aspect.
On entering the vestibule, the terracotta mosaic tiling gives a flavour of the authentic characteristics to be found within this historic home and the dark hues of the panelling to the ceiling is repeated in the reception hall. A wall of windows including a row of gold-toned panes ensure a light-filled hallway where the orginal ornate staircase rises to the first-floor galleried landing. Reception areas comprise a stately drawing room with two bay window alcoves and an impressive Inglenook orginal fireplace within a recess featuring carved wood panelling and bench seating to either side. The property also benefits from a spacious sitting room offering a rustic fireplace with stone surround. The kitchen by contrast is fitted with modern wall and base level, wood-fronted cabinetry, with display shelving and an external door to the garden, whilst ancillary space is provided by a utility room which also offers a route out to a courtyard.
On the first floor, the spacious, light-filled landing gives access to four bedrooms which feature an eclectic mix of decorative fireplaces, as well as a family bathroom with free-standing, roll-top tub and shower cubicle. There are two narrow recesses, one which offers a library space and the other a stone walkway which traces the span of the multi-light windows with an outlook over the river.
The setting of this property affords a glorious outlook with the soothing sound of moving water as the river flows by as well as the convenience of being situated in the centre of the desirable market Town, Morpeth. Stone pillars set within a low stone wall mark the entrance onto the driveway which leads to the
property and beyond to a detached double garage and further parking. A border filled with mature shrubs and perennial plants adjoins the house with golden euonymus bushes to either side of the entrance doorway, where stone steps rise to the half-glazed portal. The rear garden offers an area of lawn framed by flower beds and specimen trees, with a greenhouse for the green-fingered positioned in the corner just outside the kitchen door.
