Queens Road, Blackhill

A striking four-bedroom stone-built period terrace with bay frontage, blending timeless character with stylish modern finishes. Set across three floors, this elegant home offers beautifully proportioned living space, a landscaped forecourt, garage with utility potential, and superb views.

Arriving at this classic terrace on Queens Road, you are greeted by a beautifully presented forecourt garden, enclosed by wrought iron railings with an established Acer as its centrepiece. A block-paved pathway leads to the front door, which opens into a traditional vestibule laid with monochrome tiles, and through a glazed door into a spacious hallway.

To the front, the lounge is bathed in morning light through the bay window, enhanced by high ceilings, original coving and an elegant feel. There is also a gas fire feature. To the rear, the dining room is equally impressive, featuring a brick inglenook fireplace with a log burner, a ceiling rose, coving, French doors to the courtyard, and a large understairs cupboard. The dining room connects seamlessly to the recently installed kitchen (December 2024), fitted with pastel pink cabinetry, a ceramic sink with gold fittings, and integrated appliances including oven, gas hob, and dishwasher. Spotlights brighten the space, while a discreet cupboard houses the combi boiler. From here, an external door opens to the stone-paved rear yard with log store, and direct access into the garage.

The garage itself has power, lighting, and plumbing, creating scope for a utility area, while retaining its up-and-over door should a buyer wish to revert it to a traditional garage.

Upstairs, the split-level landing first leads to the striking family bathroom, styled in monochrome tiling and fitted with a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, and traditional suite. Beyond, three bedrooms await: a generous double to the rear with countryside views framed by built-in shelving, and two further rooms to the front with a pleasant outlook across the green space opposite.

The upper floor is dedicated to the master suite, a wonderfully bright and airy retreat with six tilt-and-turn windows capturing views towards Northumberland. The room also benefits from eaves storage and a stylish ensuite with statement tiling, toilet, and basin.

This is a truly versatile home, blending period charm with contemporary comfort, ideal for families and professionals alike. Perfectly located on a sought-after street close to everyday amenities, including shops, nurseries, and a dental surgery, Blackhill also offers an award-winning bakery and strong transport links. Nearby Shotley Bridge provides independent shops, schools, and riverside walks, while Consett, just a mile away, offers wider facilities. The area is rich in countryside trails and cycle routes, with Newcastle and Durham both within 16 miles, making this an ideal base for commuters and families seeking balance between town and country living.
