This Northumberland former Vicarage, adjoining cottage, and original stone Coach House has been transformed into a wonderful home. The five bedroom stone period house was built in 1861 and has accommodations are set over two floors.
The house has been improved and restored over the last 15 years, creating a family home with great versatility, and further potential afforded by the original coach house.
Many original and traditional features have been retained including stone mullion windows and Crittall windows, original internal doors, period stone fireplaces, decorative ceiling coving, dado and picture rails, and wood and stone flagged floors.
On the ground floor a stone arched entrance and reception hallway leads to a study/home office overlooking the garden, a generous sitting room with stone fireplace, a bathroom, and a music room overlooking the garden to the Church.
The open plan family kitchen/living room now forms the heart of this family home with full height vaulted and beamed ceilings, and natural light. A formal dining room links the main house to the cottage, and side lobby gives access to the courtyard.
Four double bedrooms each have a stone & cast iron fireplace. Bedroom one and two look over the garden to the open fields, and Church. Whilst bedrooms three and four each overlook the front gardens.
Alongside the vicarage is Stanley Cottage, a two bedroom, single storey cottage with a slate roof. A sitting room with dual aspect windows overlook the garden and courtyard and door leads to the adjoining kitchen. The glass atrium roof offers a stunning view of the church next door and double glazed timber windows.
The former Coach House has been unchanged since it was built. The detached stone building is currently divided into two single garages with storeroom between, large stable workshop and separate lockable store. Above, a large attic runs the full length of the building.
The Old Vicarage is approached through a stone pillared gate entrance, leading to a circular gravel driveway. Whilst Stanley Cottage and the Coach House have a separate driveway, leading into the courtyard where there is parking for multiple cars and access to the main driveway.
The grounds also house a superb summerhouse and wood fired hot tub, a greenhouse, second summerhouse, three sheds, wood-fired pizza oven and vegetable garden/soft fruit with raised beds.
