The Property

Juniper House is a hugely attractive period farmhouse constructed of brick and stone with an abundance of charm and character. The property is tucked away in the tranquil and rural hamlet of Juniper and benefits from wonderful views of the surrounding countryside that sweep away in all directions. The main house is further complemented by an excellent stable block and an adjoining paddock, along with a converted double garage which is suitable for a variety of uses, including a potential annexe, subject to the necessary consents.

The front door opens from the south-facing gardens or alternatively there is access to the garden room from the side elevation or to the utility room from the rear parking area. There are two large reception rooms positioned either side of the front elevation overlooking the garden and the views beyond. Each of these generous rooms has a feature fireplace and a gorgeous window seat. There is great flexibility to configure these rooms for individual needs, possibly creating a formal dining room or a home office/study. There is yet more living space afforded by the elegant garden room, where natural light fills the room to offer a peaceful spot to read or simply enjoy the idyllic surroundings. To the rear of the property is the stunning country style kitchen and dining room. An impressive range of bespoke cabinetry offers plentiful storage and houses a range of discreet integrated appliances. A grand range cooker sits as a centrepiece to the kitchen. The kitchen flows to the dining area with ample space for a table and chairs. Glazed sliding doors connect to the garden room creating a lovely open atmosphere. The kitchen is served by useful utility room with additional sink, and there is also a convenient ground floor WC.

There are four bedrooms arranged across the first floor with varying outlooks. The principal suite is generously proportioned and benefits from large fitted wardrobes. The lovely en-suite shower room has traditional tiling and a suite comprising walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. The other three bedrooms again offer real flexibility and abundant storage. These bedrooms are served by the family bathroom which has a more contemporary finish and a suite comprising P-shaped bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally

Well-maintained lawns sit to the front of the house, whilst the driveway runs around the side past carefully laid out gravelled areas to parking at the rear. Tucked behind the house is a former garage that has been converted into practical additional space. This outbuilding is currently divided into three rooms offering utility space with an extra sink and vast storage. It is the perfect spot for gym equipment or could provide office space allowing the separation of home and work life. There is also the potential for an annexe with additional accommodation, subject to securing the necessary consents.

A stable block sits close to the house and will appeal to all equestrian enthusiasts. The stable block is accompanied by an area of hardstanding and a fantastic paddock that rises gently away from the rear of the property, extending to around 2 acres. The paddock is well-fenced and spectacular panoramic views range across the Northumberland countryside. The property as a whole extends to around 2.22 acres.

The current vendors have rented around 2 further acres of adjoining land by longstanding arrangement with a neighbour. There is the potential for interested parties to continue this arrangement.
