A magnificent Edwardian residence occupying a secluded position in the popular market town of Hexham. Surrounded by extensive well maintained gardens and accessed by a private drive, this stone built house follows the Arts and Crafts style.
We are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional detached stone built mansion house. The property, built in 1908, was purchased by the current owners in 1993 and occupies magnificent gardens and grounds, with beautiful mature trees giving privacy and seclusion. The long driveway leads to a private pebbled area and courtyard with parking for many cars. There is a separate stone built garage house constructed in 2003, with a double garage, a ground floor office and two large studio rooms and shower room/wc to the first floor. This building has its own alarm system and double glazing. The principal house has very fine architecture and reflects the 'Arts and Crafts' period, with full chimney stacks, superb window detailing and beautiful stained and leaded glass. Internally, the magnificent rooms have high ceilings, fabulous plasterwork and cornicing, delightful panelled doors and many impressive fireplaces. The entrance vestibule leads on to a cloakroom and separate wc. The main reception hall has a stunning fireplace and windows. The inner hall leads beneath the staircase to a series of cellar rooms which provide very good storage. The drawing room has a beautiful fireplace and a separate library/study area. The main dining room is the centre of the house and has stunning window features, as well as a high mantled mahogany fireplace. One door from the centre of the bay leads through to the Amdega conservatory which was constructed in 2005. It has two sets of double doors leading onto the terrace, lovely views over the gardens and pinoleum French designed blinds to the windows and ceiling. The family room is at the front of the property which opens through an archway to the kitchen/breakfasting room, which is fitted in a farmhouse pine style with a range of cabinets and built-in appliances. The utility room is at the side of the property, as well as a study overlooking the rear gardens. There is an elaborate mahogany staircase connecting to the three quarter landing with a feature 'Peacock' stained glass window and two store cupboards. The principal first floor landing leads to a master bedroom suite with lovely windows overlooking the gardens. It connects on to a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom/wc. There are three further bedrooms to the first floor, as well as a family bathroom/wc. An enclosed staircase connects to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms. One has its own walk-in dressing room and both have access to the second bathroom/wc. The property has a comprehensive alarm system, gas central heating and lovely lighting, both externally and internally. The grounds are delightful and will be keenly appreciated by a horticulturist. The stone terraces and formal retaining walls have paths leading down to impressive lawned areas. The rear garden is west facing, with many mature trees and well stocked flower borders. This property is a very special house in a lovely setting within Hexham. It is close to a number of large quality homes within the area.

EXTERNALLY
The gardens and grounds that surround Underwood are highly impressive and feature a number of mature trees which give tremendous privacy to the site. Access to the property is via its own private drive, over which one neighbouring house has access in part. The front section of the drive leads off to two other private properties, giving a total of four properties using the private tarmacadam drive owned by Underwood. The drive has its own mature boundaries and an oak gate leading into the gravelled courtyard and parking area. To the side of the property there is a separate stone built garage house and studio which was converted from the old stable block in 2003. It has been built to a very high standard, with beautiful stone under a Lakeland slate roof with attractive window detailing. The building has two electrically operated up and over access doors connecting to the garage. The principal gardens at the front of the house are set out with beautiful lawned areas, which slope down to fabulous evergreen borders with holly trees, pines and silver birch winding through pleasant sitting areas. The principal entrance to the house is via the red pebbled courtyard and drive. To the side of the property there is a stone flagged terrace and pathways that lead around both sides of the property to the rear garden. To the north eastern boundary of the house there is a private and secluded wild garden with maturing rhododendrons. The path leads around to the north elevation of the house, where there is a separate private entrance connecting into the utility and laundry room. From the north elevation a low level access door connects into the cellars. The principal gardens to the house extend to the rear of the property, which is west facing and therefore enjoys fabulous sunshine during the summer months. The foreground of the property has a beautiful stone terrace and patio which surrounds the Amdega conservatory, with stone retaining walls and lantern lighting. Floodlighting surrounds the exterior of the property and provides illumination during the evening hours. Flower borders surrounding the gardens are impressive, with beautiful shrubs and a variety of perennials. The boundaries are a haven for wildlife with pheasants, squirrels and woodpeckers visiting the property on a regular basis. To the corner of the property there is a timber constructed summerhouse and a pathway which leads around to the rear boundaries. The grounds of Underwood are extremely impressive and will be greatly appreciated by horticulturists.

It is equally evident that the first floor accommodation and the office to the ground floor could provide independent accommodation associated with the main house.
