"An exquisite Victorian property in a sought-after location, with spacious interiors, a self-contained annexe and beautifully landscaped gardens"
The Property
Situated in the heart of the highly sought-after Tyne Valley village of Corbridge, Dunedin is a stunning detached Victorian property that impresses with its spaciousness and charm. This is a must-see to appreciate property that offers well-proportioned living spaces, including a self-contained one-bedroom annexe.
Externally, the property’s façade is striking, showcasing exquisite and intricate stonework – a fine example of elegant Victorian architecture. The original sash windows have been replaced with double-glazed replicas, preserving the classic appearance while providing a modern upgrade that enhances efficiency and comfort.
The interiors of Dunedin are generously sized, with high ceilings and a wealth of traditional elements thoughtfully maintained, including ornate plasterwork and decorative cornicing. These spaces are brimming with potential, and their aesthetic appeal can be effortlessly enhanced through modern styling.
The front door opens into a vestibule, with glazed panelled doors leading into the impressive central entrance hall. This space features sought-after Victorian cast iron radiators and elegant parquet flooring in warm wooden tones, creating a stylish and inviting welcome. At the front of the property are two grand reception rooms; a formal sitting room and a dining room. Both are bathed with natural light from expansive south-facing windows and boast elegant fireplaces and noteworthy Victorian joinery.
The traditional kitchen is fitted with a range of units with an AGA nestled within an inglenook. The generous layout provides the perfect opportunity to incorporate a kitchen island, while still offering plenty of room for a dining table and chairs – creating an ideal space for casual dining and entertaining.
From the kitchen, you enter the rear hall, which leads to the rear access of the property, a practical cloakroom/WC area, and the connecting internal door to the annexe. The annexe could be seamlessly integrated into the main house.
All four double bedrooms on the first floor are bright and feature tasteful, neutral décor. One bedroom already includes an en-suite shower room, with plumbing already in place to easily accommodate a second en-suite. Leaving the remaining two bedrooms sharing a well-appointed family bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower. The largest bedroom, with a front-facing aspect, has a bay window, creating the perfect space for a dressing or seating area. A smaller, versatile room, currently used as a designated study, completes this floor.
The spindled staircase continues to the second floor where four generously sized rooms with endless potential await. These spaces can be easily utilised to suit individual needs, such as additional bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas or hobby rooms. A cellar provides vast practical storage space and a further storeroom.
Annexe
The annexe is configured as a fully independent one-bedroom apartment, providing privacy through separate external access. It features a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, all conveniently laid out on one floor for easy accessibility. This annexe is ideal for those looking for multi-generational living, to generate an income or could easily be used as an extension of the main home.
Externally
Situated in the very heart of Corbridge, Dunedin has the advantage of fabulous outdoor space and extensive parking. The driveway runs to one side of the house with plenty of parking space, and leads to the substantial Coach House, which holds significant potential for a variety of uses. This stone under slate outbuilding blends sympathetically with the construction of the house and hosts a large garage along with three storerooms and a gardener’s WC.
Hidden behind the Coach House is the wonderful garden, a surprising haven of tranquillity tucked away from the everyday bustle of the vibrant village. Manicured lawns are surrounded by stone walls and a variety of colourful shrubs and plantings, all maintained to an exceptional standard.
