Castle Drive, Hexham

Situated within the heart of the picturesque village of Kielder, this charming family home is set within one of the UK’s most scenic and peaceful rural locations. Positioned close to Kielder Water and Forest, the property enjoys a unique setting within Northumberland National Park and the internationally recognised Dark Sky Park area.

This three-bedroom semi-detached home forms part of a quiet residential development on Castle Drive, a sought-after street originally developed to serve the forestry community and now popular with families, retirees and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The property is a traditional semi-detached house, typical of the area, offering well-proportioned accommodation with private gardens to the rear, an additional ground floor shower room and a beautiful conservatory with an open green outlook.

The lounge is a lovely spacious dual-aspect room with plenty of natural light and centred around the chimney breast housing a superb multi-fuel burning stove.

Double French doors lead from the lounge through to the conservatory, arguably the most impressive room in the house. The large square footprint provides ample space for both lounge and dining furniture, while the true selling point is the impressive outlook through the tall glazed frontage beneath the pitched roof.

The stylish kitchen, utility room and spacious dining room have all been combined via open archways, creating a free-flowing space which lends itself very well to entertaining guests around the second multi-fuel burning stove. Dual-aspect windows mean that plenty of natural light floods the room. Beyond the kitchen to the rear of the property is the rear entrance hallway, giving access out to the decking as well as the ground floor shower room.

Upstairs, the landing offers doorways to all the bedrooms and the family bathroom, as well as a hatch to the loft with a pull-down ladder. The main bedroom is a fantastic size with plenty of built-in storage and windows to both front and rear elevations, making it a lovely bright and airy room.

Bedrooms two and three are situated to the front and rear elevations respectively and are both generous sizes, providing excellent bedroom or hobby/study space, both with fitted storage cupboards.

Externally to the rear, the property benefits from a large composite decking area joining the doorways from the conservatory and the rear entrance hallway. The decking comfortably accommodates a full patio set and is elevated, enjoying pleasant south-facing views over the gardens and green space beyond. Steps down from the decking lead to a very handy attached outbuilding with power and lighting, ideal as an additional utility, storage or workshop space.

The south-facing rear gardens are private and have direct access from the street via bespoke timber side gates. Mature shrubs and seating areas create attractive sections within the garden, designed to make the most of the peaceful setting.

To the back of the garden is a superb spacious timber workshop, kitted out with power and lighting, making the perfect space for storage, tinkering or hobby use.

Properties in the area are especially valued for their peaceful surroundings, strong community atmosphere, and immediate access to walking, cycling, fishing, sailing and outdoor recreation.

Kielder is one of Northumberland’s most distinctive villages, located under 1 mile from the Scottish border and surrounded by some of the darkest skies in Europe.

The area is especially popular with nature lovers and those seeking a quieter lifestyle away from urban centres.
