Henshaw, Hexham, Northumberland, NE47

Situated in delightful rural surroundings on an elevated site and enjoying stunning views to the north, south, east and west, this is a substantial detached family home created many years ago by the conversion of an old school into this fabulous five bedroom house with charm, character and numerous noteworthy features throughout. In addition to this spacious and versatile accommodation, there is a substantial outbuilding attached, which offer huge potential to create an additional cottage/annexe or to extend the house for further accommodation if required. In addition it would be useful for self-contained offices/studio or used as garaging/workshop facilities. Any conversion work would of course be subject to any necessary consents being obtained. The gardens are to all sides and are enclosed by attractive stone walling comprising lawned areas, numerous sitting areas which take in the views, mature trees, bushes and shrubs. There are various outhouses together with a superb double glazed summerhouse which is currently used as a hot tub relaxing area, which is included in the sale. The accommodation enjoys the benefit of double glazing and oil-fired central heating and would be ideal for family use because of its convenient location and access to schools, professional couples or active retirement because of the versatility of the accommodation. This is a rare gem of a property in a stunning location and we would strongly urge an internal inspection in order to fully appreciate what is on offer.
