"A charming, historic coach works conversion with all the conveniences of modern living"
The Property
The Coach House is a beautifully transformed coach works set within Hindley Hall, a magnificent country estate located in the rural hamlet of Hindley, a short distance away from the village of Stocksfield. Coach House has been thoughtfully renovated to honour its historic appeal, whilst embracing the comforts of modern living. The house is part of a selection of properties comprising Hindley Hall Estate, surrounded by picturesque Northumbrian countryside. Secure within a private gated courtyard, featuring traditional coach cobbles and high stone walls, the property enjoys a secluded, well-manicured courtyard garden between the main building and accompanying cottage.
The layout of Coach House has been carefully considered, making efficient use of space whilst maintaining the property’s traditional aesthetic. Arched French doors aligning the main house allow natural light to flood the reception rooms and kitchen, whilst allowing convenient access to either side of the courtyard. The ground floor comprises the main sitting room, a study and the kitchen, with two stairwells at opposite ends of the house, granting access to either bedroom and bathroom. The house is tastefully decorated, sympathetic to its traditional character. The central sitting room offers a welcoming retreat, featuring a log burner set within a charming stone hearth fostering a warm and relaxing ambience. Adjoining the sitting room is a spacious study and a stunning modern country kitchen warmed by another log-burner.
Ascending to the first floor, you will find the principal bedroom with modern ensuite facilities and the secondary bedroom and adjacent modern shower room. Complementing the main house is an annexed cottage, reflecting a similar style and offering one-bedroom overflow accommodation with a modern-kitchen and bathroom, ideal for guests or as a separate living space. Connected to the cottage is yet-more space in the form of storage and a workshop, providing scope for a possible future second-bedroom renovation.
