The Property
39 Hencotes is a characterful and appealing four bedroom property in the very heart of the vibrant market town of Hexham. The Grade II Listed end terrace property offers spacious four bedroom accommodation over three floors and benefits from lovely generous gardens that stretch away to the rear; a gate opens from the private gardens directly to the fabulous Sele Park that provides an idyllic escape of formal gardens, woodland walks and grassy expanses within the town.

The front door opens to a vestibule with fabulous glazed inner door and panelling, then onwards to the hall with half-panelled walls and terracotta floor tiles. There are two welcoming reception rooms with attractive wood flooring running through them both. The sitting room is filled with natural light from the beautiful south-facing bay window with custom curtains, highlighting decorative coving and cornicing and a wonderful marble fireplace with multi-fuel stove. Double doors with glazed side panels create a natural flow connecting the sitting room and dining room to the rear, where a sash window with shutters overlooks the gardens. The dining room links back to the hall, where a door leads through to useful understairs cloakroom/WC and onward access to the kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with a fine range of handmade cabinetry with natural wood finish. There is lots of storage and workspace, an impressive Rangemaster stove with extractor over, along with a fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine which are all included. Practical tiled flooring runs underfoot and a door opens to the rear gardens.

The spindled staircase climbs from the hall to the first floor via a half landing. There are three bedrooms arranged across the first floor, with two to the front elevation and one to the rear and all finished in relaxing, neutral colour palettes. The rear bedroom is currently configured as a study, demonstrating the versatility of the accommodation. This bedroom also has a striking original fireplace. The bedrooms are served by a shower room with suite comprising large walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. Pretty floor tiles with geometric patterns add a touch of further style.

Stairs continue to the second floor and a very generous fourth bedroom. This is also a great spot for a home office, a hobby/craft room or a play room for children.

Externally
The gardens of 39 Hencotes are a true oasis hidden away in the heart of the town, with new areas opening up as they stretch away from the rear of the house. Well-kept lawns and outdoor seating areas are sheltered by mature trees and established hedging. A flagged patio area is ideal to enjoy the outdoors in privacy, with stone steps leading beneath a pergola to a gravelled area with raised planting beds.

The very top of the garden is marked by a high red brick wall swathed in greenery, with a charming gate to step straight out onto the Sele Park. A pleasant stroll takes in the open parkland and traditional bandstand, before heading to magnificent Hexham Abbey, the popular Hexham House Bowling Club or into the town itself.
