Description

A rare opportunity to acquire this charming Grade II* listed stone-built semi-detached family home, set within a picturesque rural location and offering a harmonious blend of period character and modern comfort. Thoughtfully arranged over two floors, the property provides well-proportioned accommodation including a generous kitchen/diner, spacious living room with woodburning stove, and three bedrooms—one with en-suite facilities.

Internally, the home retains a wealth of traditional features, such as original fireplaces and dormer windows, while benefitting from modern enhancements including double glazing, central heating, and a practical layout suited to family living. The elevated west-facing terrace enjoys open views across the surrounding countryside, creating a tranquil outdoor space. Additional external features include a single car garage, off-street parking, and planted garden areas.

Situated in the heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Ninebanks is a small and picturesque village in south-west Northumberland, approximately 8 miles north-east of Alston and within easy reach of Hexham. Renowned for its tranquil setting and scenic landscapes, the area offers a peaceful rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community. Ninebanks is noted for its historic architecture, including the early sixteenth-century Ninebanks Tower, and is surrounded by open countryside ideal for walking, cycling, and outdoor pursuits. The village forms part of the celebrated Isaac’s Tea Trail—a 36-mile circular walk named after local philanthropist Isaac Holden, whose legacy is commemorated throughout the region.

While amenities are limited within the village itself, the nearby market town of Hexham provides a wide range of shops, schools, and transport links. Ninebanks is particularly appealing to those seeking a quiet retreat with character, heritage, and access to outstanding natural beauty.

This distinctive residence offers a unique opportunity to enjoy heritage living in a peaceful setting, with scope for further personalisation. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the full extent of its charm and potential.
