WITHIN walking distance of all the amenities of Hexham town centre, including schools and shops, this 1920s-built property is a double-fronted family home of great character.

It has accommodation laid out over three floors with the additional benefits of a large conservatory and newly-built attached garage.

Andrew Coulson, who is marketing the property, said: “This property is a substantial character five-bedroom detached. It enjoys large gardens to the rear, ideal for family use, and a large conservatory which takes advantage of the outside space.”

The house has a traditional porch with apex roof, side and top windows and ceramic tiled flooring. It opens into the reception room hall where the coved ceiling complements the stripped panelled door leading into the large lounge.

This 20ft room runs the full length of the house and is warmed by a feature fireplace with tiled inset and heart housing a living-flame gas fire. The front window has garden views and a sliding patio doors gives access to the back garden.

The sitting room has a coved ceiling and picture rail as does the dining room on the other side of the entrance hall. The dining room also has a front bay window, built-in shelving and a serving hatch to the breakfasting kitchen,

This family space is equipped with a range of matching wall and floor cabinets and drawers with granite work surfaces. A good-sized utility room with plumbing is off the kitchen and a toilet is found off the utility.

“The conservatory at the back of the house is a great family room with lighting and a television point,” Mr Coulson said. “It has fabulous views of the back garden which has mature trees, shrubs and flower beds and a lawn for play or relaxing.

“The garden also has a patio area just outside the conservatory which is large enough for a six-seater table and chairs.”

Going upstairs, three bedrooms and the family bathroom are on the first floor. The master bedroom overlooks the front and has a range of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.

One of the other two double bedrooms on this floor also has fitted wardrobes, and both have coved ceilings, picture rails and hand basins.

They share the family bathroom which has a shower cubicle and shelved linen cupboard. There is a separate wc.

On the top floor are two more double bedrooms with sloping ceilings. One has wonderful views and the other has large under-eaves storage, three Velux windows and a vanity basin. A shower room completes the second-floor layout.

Outside is a white wicket gate from the front to the back garden, a shed and a greenhouse.

Andrew Coulson added: “Homes like this rarely come on to the market in this convenient location and I would strongly recommend interested parties to take a look around the inside where the period features and versatile layout are sure to appeal.”
