The Property
Occupying a peaceful position on one of Hexham's most desirable residential roads, Farnedale is an attractive detached family house that combines its original character with an impressive contemporary extension. Approached through beautifully planted south-facing front gardens, the house immediately creates a welcoming first impression. Inside, a spacious reception hall showcases original stained glass, herringbone oak flooring and a striking oak staircase with glazed balustrades, setting the tone for the quality found throughout. Beyond, beautifully proportioned reception rooms and an exceptional open plan kitchen and dining space provide a layout that is both versatile and easy to live in.

The original reception rooms retain much of the property's period appeal, each enhanced by a generous dual-aspect bay window that fills the rooms with natural light. The sitting room is a wonderfully bright and welcoming space, featuring an open fireplace and enjoying attractive views across the front garden. Adjacent, the second reception room has been thoughtfully arranged as a home cinema, complete with a ceiling-mounted projector and a wood-burning stove set within an attractive fireplace with a sandstone hearth, creating the perfect setting for cosy family film nights.

To the rear, the property opens into a spectacular kitchen and dining extension. Flooded with natural light from a substantial roof lantern and full-width aluminium bifold doors, it is an exceptionally bright and spacious room with a strong connection to the gardens and decked terrace beyond.

The kitchen has been designed with equal emphasis on appearance and practicality. Contemporary handleless cabinetry is complemented by quartz worktops and matching upstands, while a substantial central island provides extensive preparation space together with informal seating. Premium integrated appliances include two Neff pyrolytic ovens, a five-ring Neff induction hob, integrated Bosch fridge and freezer, together with an integrated Bosch dishwasher. Herringbone oak flooring extends throughout the kitchen and dining area, with wet underfloor heating providing year-round comfort. An integrated sound system serves both the kitchen and dining areas, adding another layer of enjoyment to the space.

Beyond the kitchen, a practical utility room and separate laundry room provide excellent ancillary space, with direct external access. A well-appointed cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first and second floors, offering flexibility for family life. The principal bedroom enjoys a characterful bay window overlooking the gardens and benefits from a spacious en suite bathroom with both a double-ended bath and separate walk-in shower. Three further bedrooms, one currently arranged as a home office, are served by a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. Both bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating. The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms, ideal for older children, guests or a variety of other uses. Beyond, the remaining loft space offers further potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Thoughtfully extended and beautifully presented throughout, Farnedale successfully combines original character with contemporary design. Its flexible accommodation, exceptional open plan living space and mature gardens create a house that is as practical as it is welcoming, in one of Hexham's most sought-after residential settings.

Externally
Outside, the gardens are as thoughtfully designed as the house itself, with generous lawns, mature planting and a series of inviting terraces with outdoor lighting, providing interest throughout the seasons. Immediately outside the extension, an expansive timber deck extends the living space outdoors, enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine and offering ample room for dining and relaxing. Concealed storage beneath the deck provides useful space for garden furniture and equipment.

Nestled within a secluded corner of the rear garden, a charming timber playhouse has been transformed into a delightful garden retreat, providing a peaceful spot to unwind surrounded by established planting. To the front, the south-facing patio offers a sunny place to enjoy a morning coffee, complementing the additional seating areas to the rear and providing a choice of outdoor spaces throughout the day. Ample driveway parking, an integral garage store and an electric vehicle charging point complete the practical appeal.
