The Property
Set within the sought-after village of Matfen, this double-fronted stone house forms part of an exclusive development shaped by conservation principles and finished to a notably high standard. Built in the early 2000s in keeping with the traditional architecture of the village, the house offers over 2,000 sq.ft. of versatile living space and has been carefully maintained and improved by the current owners.
Approached via a neat gravelled driveway, the house opens into a broad entrance hall with timber floors and a calm, welcoming feel. To one side, the living room draws in soft natural light from dual aspects and offers generous proportions suited to relaxed entertaining.
To the rear, glazed double doors open into the kitchen/diner—a thoughtfully designed space that spans the full width of the house. Painted cabinetry by Mowlem & Co is paired with granite worktops and high-spec integrated appliances include an AEG induction hob, Miele dishwasher, and NEFF cooker hood. A central island provides additional preparation space along with informal seating, creating a natural hub for everyday life. At one end, a cosy seating area offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the garden views. Natural light floods in through dual-aspect windows and a glazed rear door, with underfloor heating beneath tiled floors ensuring year-round comfort. Just off the kitchen, a separate utility room—also fitted with hand-painted Mowlem units—offers additional storage and workspace, along with access to a deep store cupboard. A guest WC, accessed from the entrance hall completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal suite is especially generous, with views over woodland to the rear, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a private en-suite fitted with premium Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned, with space for desks or additional built-ins, and are served by a family bathroom finished with the same high-quality fixtures and fittings.
Externally
The property is accessed from both the front and rear, with a designated parking space adjacent to the front elevation via a shared driveway. A second driveway to the rear leads to a private drive and a detached garage. The rear garden is south-facing and enjoys a quiet outlook toward a small woodland copse, with mature planting and lawn wrapping around the house to the side. A paved seating area is tucked into a sheltered corner of the garden, surrounded by colourful planting and ornamental trees, which offers an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Local Information
Matfen is a desirable and picturesque village in the Tyne Valley, enjoying a peaceful rural setting while remaining highly accessible to Corbridge, Newcastle International Airport, and Newcastle city centre.
The village offers a general store with café, a church, and a strong sense of community, with further amenities available in nearby Stamfordham and Great Whittington. Everyday needs are well catered for in Ponteland and Corbridge, both offering supermarkets, independent shops, quality restaurants, and professional services. Just outside the village, Matfen Hall—Northumberland’s only five-star hotel—offers an award-winning restaurant, luxury spa, and championship golf courses, all set within historic parkland.
