Description

An impressive six-bedroom stone-built home in the heart of Edmundbyers, offering over three floors of beautifully presented accommodation, landscaped gardens, and a peaceful village lifestyle within reach of Hexham, Corbridge, and Consett.

Tucked away in the charming village of Edmundbyers, Prospect House is an impressive detached residence offering substantial family accommodation, a tasteful blend of period character and modern comfort, and a setting that's as tranquil as it is picturesque.

The property has been meticulously maintained and upgraded by the current owners, with stylish interiors that feel both welcoming and refined.

The ground floor centres around a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, forming the sociable heart of the home with its contemporary units, integrated appliances, and ample space for both relaxed family meals and more formal gatherings. Adjoining this is a practical utility room and a WC. The generous sitting room is a bright and elegant space with large windows and a striking feature fireplace, while the separate family room offers flexibility for a snug, playroom, or home office.

Upstairs, the first floor is arranged to provide five bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. One of these rooms is currently used as a study, offering versatility for homeworking or hobbies. The entire top floor is dedicated to the luxurious principal bedroom-a peaceful retreat complete with its own en-suite shower room and extensive fitted storage.

Outside, the property enjoys a private driveway with parking for two vehicles and access to an integral garage. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for ease of maintenance, featuring AstroTurf, a paved patio area, and space for alfresco dining or simply soaking up the surroundings.

Set within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Edmundbyers offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village life amidst stunning scenery. The village itself boasts a friendly community and local amenities, while the nearby towns of Hexham, Corbridge, and Consett provide further shopping, schooling, and transport links. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of walking routes and countryside pursuits on the doorstep, making this an exceptional place to call home.
