Bellingham, Hexham

Location, location, location.

An astonishingly spacious detached bungalow with river frontage and exclusive fishing rights, set within a secluded private plot extending to over one acre. It is hard to believe you are literally in the heart of Bellingham.

A sweeping tree-lined driveway, several metres in length, immediately suggests you are approaching something special – and you will not be disappointed.

The property offers three generous bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities, while the principal bedroom also benefits from a dressing room (formerly a fourth bedroom).

The impressive living room features a striking floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with inset cast-iron wood-burning stove. Opposite, full-width windows maximise the wonderful outlook, with French doors opening onto the patio and garden.

Twin interconnecting doors lead to the 22-foot breakfasting kitchen, refitted in recent years with a comprehensive range of contemporary wall and base units, integrated cooking appliances and solid wood worktops. Completing the internal layout is a welcoming 15ft x 10ft reception hallway.
The former garage has been converted into a practical utility room.

Externally, the property continues to impress with several additional buildings including a detached timber cabin suitable for a variety of uses such as a home office, guest accommodation or games room, a large timber storage shed, and a greenhouse with attached shed.

Particularly noteworthy is the spa room, featuring twin double French doors and housing a sauna, while the surrounding decking area incorporates a sunken hot tub.

Further benefits include solar panels, double glazing and oil-fired radiator central heating, contributing to an economical home to run.

The property would make an ideal main residence, but will also appeal to those seeking a second home or holiday let opportunity, with potential to reconfigure the layout to create a self-contained secondary dwelling.

We reiterate that the setting is second to none and will undoubtedly appeal to purchasers looking for a truly special home.
