The Property
The Meadows occupies a peaceful rural setting tucked behind Minsteracres Monastery, with Newcastle, Durham and the Tyne Valley all within easy reach. This distinguished detached property began life as a village hall and has been thoughtfully reimagined with architectural boldness, pairing black timber cladding with traditional stone and slate framed by a generous gated approach with detached stone-built garage.

The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with access to a WC and useful storage. From here, the layout branches in two directions: on one side, the hall leads to two double bedrooms; on the other, it continues through to a further bedroom, the family bathroom and the principal suite. Straight ahead, the hall draws you into the expansive open plan living area the interiors of which are exceptional, with bespoke designer finishes and a seamless connection to the gardens and views beyond. Light fills the space from multiple aspects, with bespoke bi-fold doors opening directly to the south-facing garden.

The Neptune kitchen is as practical as it is stylish, centered around a marble-topped island with seating, complemented by granite and marble worktops and Bertazzoni dual-fuel range cooker. The dining and seating areas flow naturally from here, with oak flooring running throughout and a freestanding stove providing warmth and character.

From the main living space, a bespoke cast iron spiral staircase rises to a large first-floor room with Velux style windows, an adaptable space ideal as a cinema, office, studio or hobby room.

The principal suite occupies a private corner of the house, with French windows opening to the terrace and garden. The en-suite is both luxurious and practical, featuring a freestanding tub with dark wood surround, a walk-in shower and contemporary vanity. Skylights overhead draw in natural daylight creating a calm, uplifting atmosphere. Adjoining the principal suite is a third bedroom, well-proportioned and adaptable in use.

The family bathroom is equally impressive, styled with a soft pink freestanding bath with Tom Raffield lighting overhead, walk in shower with Fired Earth tiling and marble-topped vanity unit. With its generous proportions and carefully chosen finishes, the room has a boutique quality.

At the opposite side of the house, two further double bedrooms are positioned together, offering privacy from the principal suite.

Externally
The Meadows is approached through timber gates to a wide paved courtyard, offering private parking for up to six cars and access to a detached stone-built double garage with electric door. The south-facing garden is laid to lawn and planted with blossom and fruit trees, while the paved terrace provides an inviting setting for al fresco dining with uninterrupted countryside views. Beyond the garden, footpaths lead directly into Slaley Woods.
