Falstone, Northumberland

Standing in a circa quarter of an acre plot on the periphery of this small village, immediately adjoining farmland, is Bracadale, a detached family home in a generous plot having had plenty of recent upgrades.

Offering stunning views over the surrounding landscape, the eye is immediately drawn to the meandering North Tyne River which is a major focal point from the property.

The approach to the property gives the feeling of visiting something special, upon entering the dwelling this feeling is further endorsed.

Bracadale is believed to date back to the mid eighteenth century, fusing inherent charm with ultra-modern fitments and conveniences, such as recently replaced UPVC double glazed windows, complimented by porcine gas central heating and solar panels, (which are owned outright, producing several hundred pounds a year credit towards the electricity charges).

Maintained to a very high standard, the current owner has spent a considerable sum of money on maintenance and improvements which are real benefits to the occupier.

The layout comprises entrance lobby with fashionable composite entrance door and built in window seating.

The 19’ long kitchen boasts a comprehensive range of cabinets with high gloss finish, worktops and built-in double eye-level oven, warming drawer and five burner gas hob with cooker hood over.

The generous sized open plan living room features a turning timber staircase to the first floor and has a feature stone fireplace housing cast iron multi-fuel burning stove, perfect to create a cosy feel in the winter months.

This property offers a formal dining room with inter-connecting door through to the delightful large conservatory with fabulous panoramic outlook, again housing cast iron stove but this time with vaulted ceiling creating a spacious additional room.

The inner hall connects the flow of the ground floor and completing the accommodation on this level is the lavish ground floor shower room/WC.

At the first-floor level there is a landing with recessed spotlighting which offers doors to all four generous double bedrooms as well as the spacious bathroom containing a white five-piece suite comprising freestanding roll top bath with exposed legs, shower cubicle and circular ‘His and Hers’ wash basins with matching tiling to the walls.

Externally there is an expressive Y shaped resin driveway giving parking for several vehicles (the current owner has had 7 vehicles on there), mature landscaped gardens to all sides, offering panoramic views towards the River and Kielder Reservoir beyond.

This really is a wonderful home, occupying a picturesque plot in a peaceful semi-rural location and viewing is imperative to appreciate what is on offer here.

Falstone is a rural village situated halfway between Bellingham and Kielder offering great access to the outdoors including the excursions offered in and around Kielder Forest and Reservoir. Hawkhope Dam and Forest is a lovely 20 minute walk from the property and offers stunning views. The North Tyne runs down the valley and provides a haven for walking and exploring, not to mention the landscapes and views on offer in all seasons.

Amenities are offered in the village, more so in Bellingham but major shopping and healthcare can be accessed in Hexham or Ponteland/Newcastle.

The only way to appreciate the setting here is to come and see it in person so please don’t hesitate to arrange a viewing.
