The Property

The Stable is a superb three bedroom barn conversion forming part of an exclusive development in the Tyne Valley commuter village of Horsley. The original farm buildings date from the 1800s and the traditional character has been retained and blended with superb modern finishes, high quality fixtures and gorgeous décor. The property is immaculately presented throughout, with a light and inviting atmosphere and a layout that is ideal for contemporary living.

The front door opens to a vestibule with storage/cloakroom off and onward access to the hallway with WC to one side. The sitting room is positioned to one end of the hall and is a truly lovely space. The vaulted ceiling soars overhead with exposed wooden beams. The wonderful original arched barn entrance now forms a huge picture window with glazed door to the patio outside. This combines with a dual aspect and skylights to fill the room with natural light. A woodburning stove sits within a feature fireplace with stone surround and wooden mantel above. The décor is elegant, modern and perfectly matched to the property. The kitchen/dining room also has a fantastic vaulted ceiling. The kitchen has stunning bespoke cabinetry in muted colour palettes housing a range of discreet integrated appliances and there is ample space for dining with family and guests.

A generous ground floor double bedroom with en-suite shower room offers flexibility and accessible accommodation if required. The shower suite comprises walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC set in pretty half-height tiled walls. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor. These bedrooms are served by a bathroom with tiling in the same style but contrasting colours to that found in the ground floor en-suite, showcasing the level of thought and planning that has gone into the property. The bathroom suite comprises bath with shower over, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Externally

The Stable has excellent provision for parking, with a single garage complemented by further parking for at least two vehicles. This is an essential feature, as Horsley is ideally positioned for commuting to Newcastle and all other regional centres.

The gardens are to the front of the property including an area of manicured lawn and a flagged patio which sits in front of the beautiful arched sitting room window. Mature shrubs and plantings add colour and texture.

Local Information

Horsley is a small village with historic and architectural significance and a large part of it was designated a Conservation Area in 1992 with buildings that can be traced back to at least the start of the 18th century, some built with stones from Hadrian’s Wall. The village lies on the northern side of the River Tyne overlooking the river valley, some 10 miles west of Newcastle, and is surrounded by open countryside. Horsley is predominantly residential and, because of its attractive location in the Tyne Valley, pleasant rural character and proximity to the A69, has become a popular commuter village. The Lion and Lamb is a popular public house in the village together with a thriving community which includes The Hearth at Horsley, a group of artist’s studios, café and community hall, and an antiques centre while Matfen Hall and Close House offer excellent leisure facilities. Nearby Wylam offers amenities including a supermarket and Post Office, pubs and restaurants. Newcastle provides further comprehensive cultural, educational, recreational and shopping facilities. 

For schooling, the school catchment area for Horsley is the Ponteland schools system. Residents of Horsley receive free school transport (coach/taxi) to Ponteland schools from the County Council. In addition, Mowden Hall Preparatory School just outside Corbridge provides private education from nursery up to 13 years, and there are several private day schools in Newcastle.

For the commuter, the A69 provides good access to Newcastle Airport and City Centre, Carlisle and onward access to the A1 and M6. The rail station at Wylam provides regular links to both Newcastle and Carlisle, which in turn link to other main line services to major UK cities north and south. Newcastle International Airport and the A1 are all within easy reach.
