This property presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to infuse their personal touch into a charming rural home while still enjoying proximity to Newcastle. Boasting approximately 3.37 acres, the estate includes ample outdoor space ideal for equestrian pursuits or gardening enthusiasts. The south-facing gardens provide breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Internally, High Mote features generously sized living areas filled with character elements such as stone fireplaces and exposed beams, offering significant potential for modernisation. The light and airy farmhouse kitchen comes equipped with a classic two-door Aga, wooden cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry—perfect for culinary enthusiasts looking to upgrade the space to contemporary standards.
With two spacious reception rooms, including one currently serving as an elegant dining area with a wood-burning stove, this property supports excellent entertaining possibilities. The inviting sitting room, previously part of the original house's byre, offers direct access to a conservatory that captures stunning garden vistas.
The upper floor houses four bedrooms, each presenting unique potential for reconfiguration or enhancement to meet modern expectations. The principal suite features an en-suite bathroom and striking vaulted ceilings—yet could benefit from some updating.
Externally, an old barn on the property hints at further development opportunities (subject to relevant consents), enhancing its investment value. Located in an area rich with history and natural beauty, High Mote is well-positioned for those who appreciate outdoor activities and community living while being well-connected for commuting.
