The Property
Quarry House occupies a spectacular elevated position with uninterrupted views across the Tyne Valley to the south, west and east. Surrounded by open fields and established greenery, this handsome six-bedroom detached house sits within approximately seven acres of private grounds, including gardens, paddock and mature woodland. Renovated in 2024, the property now offers beautifully curated interiors, a versatile layout with annexe potential, and outstanding access to Newcastle, Ponteland and the A69, all behind secure electric gates and a long private drive.
The house is approached along a tree-lined driveway that sweeps past fenced paddocks and leads to a broad turning circle and ample parking area. Inside, a welcoming central hallway sets the tone, with pale oak Ted Todd wooden flooring and a dark-painted staircase framed by panelling and soft neutral tones. From here, the ground floor flows through a suite of light-filled reception spaces, including a spacious sitting room with dual-aspect glazing and French doors to the garden, and an elegant library with a bespoke bookcase, integrated ladder, and a stone fireplace. The garden room provides a more relaxed setting with vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning stove and enjoys direct access to the patio terrace and gardens beyond.
The generous kitchen, dining and family room form the everyday hub of the home. Traditional features and modern convenience are brought together through painted timber cabinetry, quartz countertops and a classic 4-oven AGA. The cabinetry includes generous storage, open shelving, a built-in wine rack and an integrated fridge-freezer, while the large central island, with breakfast bar seating, serves as a natural focal point. The dining area flows from here into a bright informal seating zone positioned beside wide-set windows that frame far-reaching rural views. Together, these areas offer a spacious and sociable environment for day-to-day living and relaxed entertaining. Practical elements are positioned nearby, including a boot room, WC and a dedicated study tucked away for home working. A secondary entrance provides easy access after time outdoors, while a secondary staircase rises from this side of the house to the first floor.
Upstairs, the layout is cleverly divided to offer flexibility and privacy. The principal bedroom forms part of a private suite that includes a stylish en-suite shower room and a dedicated dressing room. Four further double bedrooms are arranged across both wings of the house, each enjoying elevated outlooks over the surrounding landscape. One is currently used as a cinema and games room, underlining the versatility of the layout for leisure, work or additional living space. These bedrooms are served by a generous landing and a contemporary family bathroom, which features a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, twin stone basins and an integrated wall-mounted TV. A sixth double bedroom, located on the far side of the house, benefits from its own en-suite shower room and sits adjacent to the secondary staircase, offering potential for a fully self-contained annexe, ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodation, with its own entrance, stair and bedroom suite.
Externally
The gardens have been carefully landscaped to enhance the setting and maximise the panoramic outlook. A broad stone terrace wraps around the rear of the house, offering multiple seating zones with long, uninterrupted views across the Tyne Valley. The setting is peaceful and private, with fields and greenery on all sides. The enclosed paddock is well defined with post-and-rail fencing and ideal for equestrian use or recreation. The stables are discreetly sited beyond the parking area and include five loose boxes and tack room. Mature woodland borders the drive and western boundary, providing privacy and shelter, while the secure entrance gate offers full control of access.
