The Property
Tucked behind gates in a peaceful setting just off an attractive period street, Causey Nook is a beautifully reimagined semi-detached Victorian property in one of Hexham’s most desirable areas. Ideally placed for access to the town centre and its many amenities, as well as excellent commuter links, the property has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively renovated to a meticulous standard. Offering over 3,800 sq ft of living space arranged across three floors, the layout is both elegant and considered, with multiple bi-fold doors creating a seamless connection between the principal living areas and the south-facing gardens.

A traditional entrance hallway, with stained glass detail and high corniced ceilings, sets the tone for the original portion of the house. To the front, the formal sitting room captures views over the mature front garden, with a tall bay window drawing in the morning sun. Carefully restored plasterwork and a woodburning stove within a stone fireplace provide subtle period character, while the scale and proportion of the space make it well suited to both quiet evenings and hosting guests. The adjacent family room has been expertly fitted by Robinson Gay Cabinet Makers to create a bespoke office area, with built-in bookcases, desk and cabinetry, complemented by a woodburning stove. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the room to serve equally well as a quiet workspace or an adaptable reception room with excellent natural light.

The rear of the property has been opened out to form an expansive kitchen and dining room, with underfloor heating and wide-format Italian porcelain tiles unifying the entire space. A substantial central island is surrounded by bespoke cabinetry in soft, coordinated shades, complemented by Miele appliances including two ovens, double gas burners, an induction hob, microwave, dual warming drawers, and an integrated bean-to-cup coffee machine. Twin Liebherr columns (fridge and freezer with internal ice machine) offer generous cold storage, while a boiling water tap and upholstered dining bench provide everyday practicality. Bi-fold doors open directly from the kitchen onto the south-facing terrace.

From the kitchen, a boot room and fully fitted utility serve the everyday needs of the household, both benefiting from underfloor heating and a continuation of the cabinetry and finishes seen throughout. These link via a bright glazed corridor to the garden wing, where two sets of bi-fold doors open the space fully to the outside. Here, a large dual-aspect cinema room offers informal relaxation, also with bi-fold doors onto a private terrace.

A staircase from the entrance hall leads to the main first-floor landing, where three generous bedrooms and two high-specification bathrooms are arranged around tall sash windows and deep original skirting boards. The principal suite enjoys open garden views and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower and fitted cabinetry by H2O of Newcastle. Ceiling-integrated Sonos speakers provide discreet audio, enhancing the space for relaxation. The second and third bedrooms are equally well proportioned, both enjoying elegant ceiling heights and large windows. The family bathroom is similarly appointed, with designer fittings, Italian tiling and underfloor heating. The main staircase continues to the second floor, where a further bedroom is accompanied by a well-appointed shower room, a dedicated laundry room, and useful attic storage.

A secondary staircase from the cinema room leads to a separate bedroom and shower room, providing a degree of independence from the main first-floor layout — ideal for guests, older children, or multi-generational living with their own private access.

Externally
Approached through gates and set back behind a landscaped front garden, the property offers driveway parking for several vehicles. To the rear, the landscaped garden unfolds across a broad south and south-west facing plot, designed for privacy, seclusion and sun throughout the day. A substantial stone terrace wraps around the back of the house, providing several distinct entertaining zones and direct access from the family room, kitchen and garden wing. Steps lead to a wide, level lawn bordered by mature planting, timber pergola with built-in seating, and a smart garden store. A combination of clipped hedging and timber fencing provides screening without compromising the open, green outlook.
