Accommodation in Brief Entrance Hall | Sitting Room | Living Room | Kitchen/Dining Room | Study Area | Utility Room | WC | Principal Bedroom with En-suite Shower Room | Second Bedroom | Bathroom | Bedroom with Mezzanine Garage/Barn | Driveway & Parking | Gardens | Land | Around 21 Acres in All The Property Newhouses is an attractive stone-built property occupying an idyllic location with land extending in all to around 21 acres. The property is nestled in the Northumberland National Park which has been officially declared as having the largest expanse of dark night sky in Europe, where some of the best stargazing conditions are enjoyed. The original traditional property was carefully modified by the owners in 1995 then substantially extended in 2005 to add a new kitchen/dining room, bedroom and en-suite shower room. The thoughtful and sympathetic work complements the existing structure to blend seamlessly into the setting. In recent months, all external doors and the majority of the windows have been replaced, and a new boiler has been installed. The stunning position offers picturesque and peaceful surroundings, within reach of market towns, city centres and everything Northumberland, Hadrian’s Wall Country and the Northumberland National Park has to offer. Tarset Burn meanders along the northern boundary of the property, offering an idyllic waterside stroll surrounded by glorious sweeping countryside. The house displays an abundance of character with exposed beams, stone fireplaces and eye-catching windows that frame glorious views. The large entrance hall has a flagged floor and is the perfect spot for muddy boots after a day exploring the land and countryside beyond. The sitting room is generous yet cosy, with full height arched stone window to one side along with a striking stone fireplace and hearth. A pretty wooden staircase rises from the sitting room to a bedroom above. This bedroom has a soaring vaulted ceiling and features a mezzanine accessed via a ladder. Returning to the ground floor, the sitting room links to a second spacious reception room. The living room has lovely stone-flagged flooring, exposed ceiling beams and a stone fireplace housing a woodburning stove. A glazed door opens to the gardens and parking area. A useful study area leads from the living room to the fabulous kitchen/dining room within the extended part of the property. The room is bathed in natural light from a triple aspect, including a gorgeous arched window that looks across unspoiled countryside to the far horizon. The kitchen area has wooden cabinetry with a Belfast sink and a large range cooker beneath an extractor hood. There is lots of space for a dining table and chairs, as well as comfortable seating to make the most of the views. The kitchen can accommodate freestanding appliances, and there is yet more space within the utility room at the end of the study area. The utility also has an additional sink and external access to the rear of the property. A staircase from the living room leads to the first floor landing and more bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful triple aspect and A-frame beams supporting a vaulted ceiling. A large window to one end brings spectacular elevated views to this incredibly spacious room. There is a fully-tiled modern en-suite shower room to one corner with suite comprising shower, wash hand basin and WC. Another large bedroom is finished in relaxing colour palettes and benefits from fitted wardrobes. This bedroom was previously divided into two rooms and could easily be configured this way again to add an extra bedroom if required. Finally, the bathroom features a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC and bidet. Externally Newhouses sits within private land extending in all to around 21 acres and surrounded by magnificent Northumberland countryside. A driveway winds its way to the house which is sheltered by mature trees that bring privacy, yet never obstruct the amazing views. A gravelled parking area has space for numerous vehicles, and there is also an impressive timber garage/barn to one side. This provides storage for outdoor equipment, tools and vehicles. There are gardens to the front and outdoor space to the rear, surrounded by stone walling that gives way to the land. The land is divided into fields with boundaries of fencing, hedges and established trees. The northern boundary is marked by Tarset Burn as it meanders through the countryside. The fields are well-maintained and accessible; this is a great opportunity for interested parties looking for a manageable smallholding. The previous owner chose to regard the land as a conservation area, providing a stewardship which resulted in a wide variety of wildlife and a profusion of birds, along with species rich fields. Such a lifestyle choice was supported by the National Park.
