"A charming Grade II listed Victorian house near Corbridge, with gardens, outbuildings and paddock"
The Property
Dilston Crossing House is a handsome Grade II listed Victorian property on the edge of Corbridge, privately set within established gardens. Approached through gates to a long private drive, the property sits behind mature hedging and trees, with a brick paved turning area and a sheltered courtyard. The house is rich in character yet lends itself to sensitive renewal, offering a rare opportunity to marry period integrity with a tailored modern finish.
From the reception hall, the plan reads clearly. The sitting room draws light from twin sash windows with shutters and centres on a substantial stone inglenook on a raised hearth. Decorative cornicing and two shallow arched recesses add definition, with garden views enhancing the sense of ease. Across the hall, the dining room offers refined proportions and an ornate period fireplace, well suited to family suppers and entertaining. A study, positioned beside the kitchen, includes a floor hatch to a cellar, understood to have been the beer cellar from the property’s time as a public house, with separate external access. A ground floor WC, useful stores and a separate utility complete the practical picture.
The kitchen is an honest, workable room with a pantry cupboard and ample space for a family table. It serves comfortably day to day and invites thoughtful reconfiguration in time, an opportunity to introduce a contemporary specification that respects the listed fabric.
The first floor runs from a bright landing with a deep window seat. Four generously proportioned bedrooms follow, each with high ceilings and tall sash windows that draw in natural light and long views across the gardens towards open countryside. A family bathroom with a bath and separate walk in shower sits alongside a separate WC. Like the kitchen, it offers clear scope to refine the specification and services to individual taste.
Overall, the layout combines period charm with everyday practicality. It works well from the outset and invites sensitive improvement, the volume, ceiling heights and natural light provide a rewarding canvas for the house’s next chapter. From here, the appeal continues outside.
Externally
A long gated approach leads to a sheltered, brick-paved courtyard with ample parking beside a run of traditional stone outbuildings, which provide two garage/store bays, further stores and an external WC. Lawned gardens with mature trees wrap around the house, edged by established hedging for privacy and seasonal colour. Beyond the main garden, a grass paddock sits just over the boundary hedge.
