The Smithy, Low Humbleton, Near Wooler

Exceptional 2,240 Sq Ft Period Home | Four Double Bedrooms | Three Bath/Shower Rooms | Exceptionally Flexible Accommodation | Double Garage | Spectacular Open Countryside Views | Walk to Wooler | Chain Free

Occupying a delightful rural position at Low Humbleton, approximately one mile from Wooler, The Smithy offers something increasingly difficult to find: character, substantial space, exceptional flexibility and a wonderful open outlook, while remaining within walking distance of the town.

Extending to approximately 2,240 sq ft, the unusual and highly adaptable arrangement of the accommodation is one of the property's greatest strengths. It lends itself beautifully to modern family life, visiting guests, older or adult children, working from home or multi-generational living, allowing different areas of the house to be enjoyed with a degree of independence whilst remaining part of one substantial home.

Extensively renovated and upgraded, the property successfully combines the character and proportions of a period home with comfortable modern-day living. Externally, attractive gardens, extensive parking and a detached double garage complement the accommodation, while the spectacular uninterrupted countryside outlook provides something that simply cannot be replicated.

Enjoying beautiful open views across the surrounding countryside, the property offers the increasingly rare combination of a rural lifestyle without feeling isolated. Wooler's shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and everyday amenities can be reached on foot, while convenient access to the A697 provides excellent connections towards Alnwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Newcastle, the Northumberland coast and Scottish Borders.

With four double bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and a highly versatile arrangement of living and sleeping accommodation, The Smithy offers considerably more than the specifications alone might suggest. It is a home capable of adapting as circumstances change and would make a superb permanent family home, multi-generational property or rural Northumberland retreat.

From the moment you arrive, the property creates an immediate impression. A generous block-paved driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles before leading to the detached double garage, while attractive gardens surround the property, creating a wonderful setting from which to enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance porch leads into an impressive dining hall where exposed stonework immediately reflects the home's heritage and warmth. More than simply a dining room, this wonderful space forms the heart of the home, perfectly suited to family gatherings, entertaining guests and everyday living.

The beautifully appointed farmhouse kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an excellent range of cabinetry complemented by solid timber worktops, a Belfast sink, attractive tiled splashbacks, an impressive range cooker and generous pantry storage. A separate utility room provides valuable additional practicality with direct access to the rear garden.

The spacious lounge is a wonderfully relaxing room, flooded with natural light and enjoying delightful open countryside views. A striking exposed stone fireplace provides an impressive focal point and is ready for the installation of a multi-fuel stove should the next owners wish.

One of the property's greatest strengths is its flexibility. A generous ground-floor double bedroom with its own stylish en-suite shower room offers ideal accommodation for guests, dependent relatives, older children or those seeking predominantly single-level living. A beautifully presented family bathroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor continues the feeling of space, offering three further generous double bedrooms together with a contemporary shower room. The principal bedroom is particularly special, enjoying patio doors opening directly onto the garden alongside beautiful far-reaching countryside views. Offering exceptional versatility, this room could equally serve as an elegant principal suite, peaceful second sitting room, home office or creative studio depending upon individual requirements.

Throughout the home, the current owners have sympathetically renovated the property with great care, preserving its original character whilst introducing the quality, comfort and practicality expected of modern living. The result is a substantial individual home that feels both timeless and immediately welcoming.

Externally, the gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to make the very best of the surrounding landscape, providing a variety of seating areas ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing whilst taking in the uninterrupted rural views throughout the changing seasons.

The detached double garage benefits from power and lighting, providing excellent storage and workshop space together with potential for alternative uses, subject to any necessary planning permissions and consents.

Adding further appeal, an additional parcel of land situated immediately to the rear of the property is available by separate negotiation, presenting an interesting opportunity for purchasers seeking additional garden or recreational space.
