The Property
Situated in the picturesque and sought-after village of Wylam, this beautiful Victorian stone-built home presents very well, showcasing spacious accommodation and attractive period details throughout. Dating back to 1864, the property overlooks beautiful south-facing mature gardens with enveloping woodland at the rear, creating an exclusive garden retreat.
“Priorsdale” enjoys the advantages of a sustainable, and cost-efficient heat storage system that supplies all heating and hot water needs. The system is fueled by a wood log biomass boiler, complemented by solar panels.
Inside, an impressive entrance hall welcomes with high ceilings and striking stained-glass windows typical of the Victorian period. The heart of the home is a spacious and well-appointed kitchen/diner boasting quartzite work surfaces, integral appliances, gas hob and an Aga. Across the entrance hall, the sitting room enjoys a multi-fuel burning stove set within a period fire surround, with a bay window casting abundant light into the room. A standout feature of ‘Priorsdale’ is the unique 22ft garden room, accessed via the dining room. This space frames the rear garden beautifully and benefits from French doors opening onto a large, decked balcony, perfect for entertaining guests. Added practicalities include a ground floor cloak room with WC and utility room with entrance to the integral garage.
Ascending to the sleeping quarters, six generously sized bedrooms are spread over two floors. On the first floor, two of the five bedrooms boast en-suite facilities with the remaining bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. Bedroom three includes a walk-in wardrobe. Bedroom two has French doors leading out to a south facing balcony over the garden room. Wonderful views over the Tyne valley and the distant countryside can be seen from this balcony and the south facing bedrooms. The second floor accommodates bedroom six and another full bathroom.
Externally
Externally, the property excels with spacious mature gardens enclosed by walls. A sweeping lawn transitions via steps into a secluded area with ferns, a pond, and meandering paths, leading towards woodland. Here, garden sheds, stately trees, and a carpet of wild bluebells create a peaceful retreat.
