Smelters House, Castleside

A beautiful double-fronted stone-built home with character and style, this property blends period charm with modern comforts. With its UPVC sash windows, cottage-style composite door, elegant porch, and well-presented interiors, it offers a warm welcome and generous accommodation across two floors.

An inviting vestibule opens through a glazed oak door into the lounge, where oak windowsills, an exposed brick chimney breast with log burner, and a rustic timber mantle create a cosy focal point, complemented by natural light from both front and side windows. A small stair leads to the dining area with herringbone flooring and French doors onto the garden, ideal for entertaining.

The kitchen is impressively sized with sage green cabinetry, oak work surfaces, a breakfast bar, and a range of integrated appliances including double oven, dishwasher, induction hob with built-in extractor, and fridge freezer.

An internal lobby provides access to the stairs and a ground floor W.C., while a further rear lounge offers a more intimate setting, featuring shaker-style panelled walls and a decorative fireplace.

The split-level staircase, enhanced by sky-blue panelling, dado rail, and a window drawing in light, leads to a striking landing with open balustrade and a dropped chandelier.

Four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged from here, the master complete with a stylish en-suite featuring a P-shaped bath with dual-head rainfall shower, vanity unit, and wainscot panelling. The family bathroom is equally luxurious, with a freestanding bath, large walk-in rainfall shower, traditional fixtures, and a vanity basin.

Externally, the property is enclosed by a distinctive stone wall and offers an exceptional driveway, open to the garden, and paved patio seating area, providing both kerb appeal and practical outdoor living space.
