This unique Grade II* listed three-bedroom property, along with its accompanying 18th Century watermill and farm outbuildings, presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled in a tranquil setting spanning approximately 14.5 acres (5.86 hectares), this estate offers significant potential for those looking to create a bespoke home or venture into agricultural development.
The family farmhouse showcases charming original features, such as exposed ceiling beams and traditional window shutters, while the layout consists of a back kitchen leading to a well-appointed main kitchen with integrated appliances. The living room boasts views over the private garden and is warmed by a multifuel stove. The characterful second reception room features stone flooring and a fireplace that enhances its rustic appeal.
Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms that retain much of their historic charm, complete with cast iron fireplaces and ample natural light from roof lights. The bathroom is fully tiled but could benefit from modernisation.
A notable feature is the adjacent watermill, offering further developmental possibilities. This space includes mill stones and machinery, which you could cleverly convert into additional living accommodation or business space (subject to planning permissions). The surrounding farm buildings also hold potential for transformation; they include stables, stores, and even areas currently used for livestock.
With rich agricultural land classified as Grade 3 and existing woodland areas, the estate not only provides ample opportunities for farming or leisure pursuits but also holds long-term investment value given its location close to Newcastle and transport links.
Additionally noteworthy are the unregistered land parcels that may offer further options for development under favourable terms. However, prospective buyers should be aware of ongoing treatment for Japanese Knotweed in certain areas and perform due diligence on any historical mining works risk assessments applicable to the region.
