Rivergreen Kennels, Morpeth, NE61

Northumberland Properties are delighted to present The Kennelman’s House, an exceptional four-bedroom, stone-built residence, beautifully positioned within the Northumberland countryside. Enjoying uninterrupted views across the Wansbeck Valley and located just a short drive from Morpeth, this is a home that balances refined design with a truly peaceful rural setting.

The interiors are both elegant and inviting, centred around two distinctive reception spaces that offer warmth, character, and versatility. From the entrance hall, a charming sitting room provides an intimate retreat, complete with a feature fireplace, Log burning stove and far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape. Beyond, a striking principal living space unfolds, defined by its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and impressive sense of volume, also featuring a stunning fire surround and log burning stove. This room opens seamlessly onto a private courtyard, creating a beautifully secluded setting for both relaxation and entertaining.

At the heart of the home, a thoughtfully extended, high-specification kitchen has been designed with both style and functionality in mind. Architectural detailing, including elegant archways, enhances the flow of the space, which opens into an additional dining or informal living area. From here, views extend across the landscaped gardens and courtyard, reinforcing the home’s connection to its setting.

The accommodation is both flexible and well-considered. Two generous double bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, ideal for those seeking the ease of single-level living, served by a well-appointed family bathroom. To the first floor, two further double bedrooms offer excellent proportions, each with its own contemporary en-suite. The principal suite is particularly impressive, complete with a dedicated dressing room.

The outdoor offering is equally compelling. A large, private courtyard provides a serene and sheltered setting,  ideal for entertaining, quiet mornings, or simply unwinding against a backdrop of open countryside. Beyond, the wider grounds extend to approximately five acres, creating a rare sense of space and opportunity. The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the landscape, establishing a wildlife corridor along the western bank of the burn, with newly planted trees and the restoration of a substantial pond, now thriving with native rushes, reeds, and aquatic planting. The land has also been identified as offering potential for biodiversity net gain, presenting an opportunity for both environmental stewardship and future income.

A charming detached annex within the grounds further enhances the versatility of the property. Perfectly suited as a home office, gym, studio, or guest accommodation, it offers flexibility to adapt alongside changing lifestyle needs. In addition, a former kennel structure, now utilised for storage, presents further potential for repurposing, whether for hobbies, workshops, or business use. A detached double garage provides ample parking and practical storage.

Despite its peaceful, rural position, the property remains exceptionally well connected. Morpeth is approximately a 10-minute drive away, offering a range of highly regarded schools, supermarkets, independent cafés and restaurants, along with a mainline station on the East Coast Main Line providing direct services to both Edinburgh and London. Ponteland and Newcastle International Airport are each within around a 20-minute drive, ensuring convenient access for both commuting and international travel, while the nearby A1 offers excellent regional connectivity.

With its expansive grounds, stunning views, and versatile living spaces, The Kennelman’s House at Rivergreen Kennels is an exceptional must-see property.
