A Grade II 17th century property is up for sale on Rightmove right now.
Acomb House is a substantial yet manageable country residence set on the south-eastern periphery of the village of Acomb, in Northumberland.
It has origins dating back to the 17th Century, with the main Georgian façade having been added in 1737.
The contemporary interior aesthetic adopted by the current owners has been executed in such a way that complements the period features you might expect from a property of this age, with well-proportioned rooms and large windows offering views over the 21 acre grounds and further over the Tyne Valley.
There are outbuildings to the rear of the property, a former coach house and stables, which offers garaging, storage, functioning stables, a studio space and subject to planning could be converted into ancillary accommodation for extended family or holiday letting.
The popular market town of Hexham is only 2 miles to the south offering further facilities including supermarkets and rail links. The nearby A69 trunk road gives excellent access to Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle International Airport and further afield.
At first floor level there is an excellent master bedroom suite with walk in dresser & en-suite, two further bedrooms with en-suite facilities, as well as a fourth bedroom, family bathroom, and WC. The second floor offers four additional bedrooms and another bathroom. All rooms are well-proportioned as is typical of the 17th century vernacular.
The north wing at first floor level offers a one-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen/dining room & living room. It can be accessed from the main house or via its own external access to the courtyard area to the north. It is currently occupied on an Assured Shorthold basis with a sitting tenant on a rolling contract.
Acomb House is approached via a private driveway leading east off Garden House Bank, through the parkland to a gravelled turning and parking area to the front of the house. The driveway continues through a pair of listed stone entrance pillars to the rear of the property where there is further turning and parking space, and an additional entrance/exit to the village.
