"A traditional stone-built barn conversion in a peaceful hamlet setting"
The Property
Hustledowne is a stone-built barn conversion in the hamlet of Colpitts Grange near Slaley, offering well considered accommodation set within mature, private gardens. Entry is through gates to a private driveway bordered by dry stone walls and lawn, with generous parking before low, well-kept elevations beneath slate. Bay windows give a measured, confident first impression and signal the breadth of the principal rooms.
A beamed reception hall introduces the interior and gives a straightforward route to the main living spaces. To the left, the sitting room is substantial in scale, its brick chimney breast and slate shelf framing a multi fuel stove, with the bay window drawing steady natural light and a leafy outlook across the front garden. Across the hall, the bay fronted dining room offers relaxed formality for entertaining, sharing the same green aspect and a discreet yet practical serving hatch through to the kitchen.
The kitchen/breakfast room takes steady daylight from a broad window and from the adjoining conservatory. Quarry tiled flooring and well-made timber cabinetry, including a glazed dresser and plate rack, set a traditional tone. Cooking is by an enameled cast iron Aga with a separate gas hob. A farmhouse table sits centrally, and glazed doors lead directly into the conservatory, keeping the garden in view. A utility room adjoins access to the integral garage and outside.
To the rear, the ground floor sleeping wing is quietly positioned. The larger double enjoys a garden facing window and its own en suite with walk-in shower. Opposite is the second bedroom, shown with both bed and workstation to underline its versatility for guests or home working, and it sits beside the family bathroom finished with traditional brassware and a deep tub. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms at this level, the house can run entirely on one storey if required.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom reads as a private retreat. Dual aspect windows draw in generous natural light and frame a soft, leafy outlook to the trees. The en suite continues the tone, contemporary yet calm, with a Velux window, a walk in rainfall shower and a freestanding bath, creating a quietly luxurious finish away from the activity of the ground floor.
Along the landing, a timber lined attic room, privately set under the eaves, is lit by roof lights and a Velux window. It provides a private, adaptable space for relaxation with discreet eaves storage integrated.
Externally
Approached through timber gates, a private curved driveway provides parking for two cars. The gardens are a clear strength with broad, level lawns wrapping the house and framed by mature trees, planting and dry-stone boundary walls that ensure privacy. The conservatory steps onto a paved terrace suited to alfresco meals whilst under the trees, a shaded nook offers a quiet place to pause.
Approximately 50 yards east of the house stands a low-profile, single-storey garage block arranged into bays. One bay is allocated to this property; the remaining two serve neighboring homes.
