Description
Sunwick Farmhouse is an exceptional period country residence, rich in history and character. The impressive Grade B listed home offers substantial and highly versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.

Approached via a shared driveway, a private sweeping drive leads gracefully to the front of the house, set within a charming countryside setting. Dating back to the 18th century, this traditional farmhouse offers a rare opportunity for thoughtful and sympathetic modernisation. The principal elevation presents a balanced and elegant façade, centred on the main entrance and framed by well-proportioned windows, beautifully reflecting its period heritage.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright and spacious lounge, featuring original working shutters, a traditional fireplace, and views over the front garden. From here, the accommodation flows naturally through to a rear hall with a built-in seating area, offering flexibility for a variety of uses, and onwards into the open-plan dining kitchen, fitted with wall and base units and complemented by a walk-in pantry.

The ground floor is further enhanced by a versatile home office or additional bedroom, alongside a utility and shower room. To the west wing, a substantial storeroom & boiler room currently stripped back to bare walls presents excellent potential for conversion into extended family accommodation, with direct access to the north courtyard.

A timber staircase rises to the first floor, where a bright and spacious landing is illuminated by an arched window over the stairwell. From here, the accommodation extends to six wellproportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. An additional room within the west wing, currently stripped back to bare walls, offers excellent potential for a further bedroom or private suite.

Stairs rise to the second floor, which offers generous space, ideal for conversion into additional bedrooms, a games room, or a dedicated work-from-home area. This level also benefits from ample built-in storage, including a cupboard currently housing the water tank.

Garden
Sunwick Farmhouse enjoys an expansive garden, predominantly situated to the south and chiefly laid to lawn, creating a bright and open outdoor space. A substantial gravel driveway sweeps across the front of the house and continues around to the north, offering generous parking and turning space for multiple vehicles. The gardens are bordered by mature trees and shrubs, providing both privacy and shelter. A charming ha-ha further enhances the setting, preserving uninterrupted, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards the Cheviot Hills.

NB
To the rear courtyard, a section of the steading (currently marked out) will be fenced off by the vendor within three months of completion of the sale.
