Dating from the 20s with period details complemented by contemporary touches, Braestead sits in beautiful gardens in one of the most prestigious addresses in Hexham.

The substantial detached house is in Elvaston Road, within walking distance of schools, shops, pubs and restaurants, churches, parks and leisure facilities.

Braestead has a spacious layout over three floors with character details such as deep skirtings, picture rails, decorative cornicing, high ceilings and feature fireplaces.

It has a large porch, with glazed door, window and a cloakroom off, leading to the welcoming reception hall.

Two reception rooms of living room and study have light pouring in through large bay windows and are both warmed by multi-fuel stoves in feature fireplaces, with the study also having a lovely wooden mantelpiece.

The open-plan dining kitchen is nearly 24ft by 17ft and offers a fantastic space for a family.

It boasts a range of high-quality Shaker-style wall and floor cabinets in a cream colour with granite worktops, an integral dishwasher and gas-fired Aga to keep the room cosy.
