Mill Farm Road, Hamsterley Mill, Rowlands Gill, NE39

Built in 1975, this individual architect-designed detached house is situated in a beautiful setting adjacent to Mill Wood above the Pont Burn, and offers spacious and versatile accommodation that would suit a family or a couple looking for a semi-rural retreat that is within easy access of the regional centres.

With oil-fuelled central heating, via condensing system boiler, and double glazing throughout, the house also has supplementary water heating from the large multi-fuel stove in the open-plan lounge, which looks out over the garden and woodland beyond.

Accessed via the open external porch, which was added in 2004, the accommodation comprises, on the ground floor: entrance hall with feature stained-glass windows and with a shower room/W.C. and a boot room off, through to the main part of the house, with a raised lounge with vaulted ceiling and the central multi-fuel stove and those large windows looking over the garden, through to a dining room at the end, with porcelain-tiled flooring and a patio door to a large covered decked area that also overlooks the garden. To the right of the lounge is the fitted kitchen, with integrated appliances and a touch-control tap, which leads through to the garden room/orangery, which has under-floor heating. A small lobby that opens off the garden room leads through to another reception room (sitting room/study), which has a bay window seat, and there is an additional lobby area that includes a cupboard housing the Worcester Bosch condensing boiler, which was fitted in 2022.

The central stairs lead up to a half-landing, with built-in storage and leading through to the main bedroom, which has feature corner windows, built-in wardrobes and cupboards and a few stairs up to the en suite shower room, which has a power shower and under-floor heating. The first floor landing provides access to the other three bedrooms, two of which have built-in storage, and to the bathroom, which is fitted with a contemporary white suite and which has concealed access to the hot water tank/shower pump and loft storage area.

Externally, the property is entered via iron gates into a large resin driveway that affords space to park numerous cars, while there is 6ft. fencing around the boundary (to prevent the local deer from entering, unannounced), and a covered bin store. The large garage has a Hormann sectional electric door - with a built-in easy access doorway - and with lights and electric sockets. The impressive and well cultivated lawned garden has well stocked, established borders and natural screening, a circular pond and a functioning and well-maintained Koi carp pond. There is a large covered decked area to one side of the house, with a water feature, block-paved barbecue area and with the decking continuing around to the rear where there are three sheds and a log store. There is also storage space beneath the decking while the oil tank is well concealed with easy access just off the side of the driveway. There are some protected trees around the perimeter (under TPO Der-066).

The house is situated part-way along Mill Farm Road, which is a private road within Mill Wood off the A694 in the sought-after semi-rural village of Hamsterley Mill, at the edge of Rowlands Gill. There are popular countryside walks and cycle routes in the Derwent Valley, including the Derwent Walk and the Red Kite Trail, while the village, which is 2 miles along the road, has some shops and amenities (including a doctor's practice, village library, Boots Pharmacy and Tesco Express) and there is also the popular National Trust estate and grounds of Gibside. The A694 provides access to Newcastle (10 miles) the Metro Centre (7.4 miles) and the A1(M), while Newcastle International Airport is 12.5 miles away.
