The Property
Anick Old House is a hugely impressive and attractive stone-built property with beautiful interiors and expansive accommodation. The property benefits from superbly maintained landscaped gardens along with a generous paddock of around 0.75 acres. This fantastic property is situated on the edge of Anick, a delightful peaceful hamlet on the northern slope of the Tyne Valley with southerly views towards Hexham and the surrounding farmland.

There are two front entrances to Anick Old House; a vestibule opening to a central hall and a separate gabled stone porch leading to the dining room. The principal reception rooms have grand proportions and offer a mix of versatile entertaining space. The sitting room is spacious yet cosy, with a feature fireplace to one side and a charming window seat that makes the most of the lovely outlook. The drawing room offers a relaxing place to enjoy peace and privacy or to receive guests, and the dining room provides more formal space to entertain around a large table and chairs. Adjoining the dining room is the stunning Alexander Carrick kitchen and breakfast room which brings a warm heart to the home. Exposed A-frame beams support the soaring ceiling and are a reminder of the 18^th and 19^th century origins of the property. Bespoke cabinetry with granite worksurfaces provides ample storage and workspace in conjunction with a large centre island. The contemporary units marry beautifully with the ceramic floor tiling and a traditional gas-fired AGA. The whole room is bathed in natural light. Extensive glazing frames the valley views, with further windows to the rear and skylights above. There is open space for a table and chairs for casual dining; the room is sure to be a hub for spending time with family and friends. A hugely generous utility room with an abundance of storage adds practicality and has a wonderful walk-in pantry one end. The utility room links to the kitchen via a boot room that is ideal for muddy boots after a day exploring the glorious surroundings. A store room and a useful WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

From the light and airy hall, an elegant and wide spindled staircase rises via a double turn to the first floor and the bedroom accommodation. There are four bedrooms along with a study/fifth bedroom with varying outlooks. The principal bedroom occupies the south east corner of the floor to capture the most spectacular views. The bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious bathroom with suite comprising bath, separate shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail with light and attractive tiling to walls and floor. Quality fixtures and fittings add to the appeal. There are three further bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities that continue the high standard and specification found throughout Anick Old House. The fourth bedroom is served by the family bathroom. There is a study that is perfect for working from home, or could easily be configured as a fifth bedroom if required.

Externally
Anick Old House rests within beautiful mature landscaped gardens that provide a variety of outdoor areas to enjoy the spectacular scenery or to indulge in gardening pursuits. There are formal lawns with pretty pathways and the subtly terraced layout rises to an orchard dotted with fruit trees. Planting areas feature a plethora of colourful species, while raised beds and a greenhouse will appeal to the kitchen gardener. Quiet spots to sit are carefully sited around the gardens, with patio areas for al fresco dining, complete with an outdoor pizza oven. The gardens are served by substantial traditional outbuildings for storage along with kennels.

A stone pillared gate leads to the tarmacadam driveway with space for numerous vehicles and access to the double car port sheltered by mature trees.

Adjoining the gardens to the north is a paddock of around 0.75 acres. The paddock is well-fenced and will appeal to interested parties looking to graze a pony.
