The Property
The Foggett is an immaculately presented, stone-built Georgian farmhouse located just minutes from the vibrant market town of Hexham. This beautiful property offers an idyllic rural retreat with countryside views, providing an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle while remaining conveniently close to local amenities.
Inside, the main living areas are both spacious and tastefully decorated, featuring Amtico flooring throughout much of the ground floor. Thoughtful additions include a downstairs WC, boot room, and a well-equipped utility room complete with a Belfast sink, storage units, and plumbing for both a washing machine and dryer. The kitchen is elegantly designed with ample traditional cream shaker-style base and wall cabinetry, complemented by wooden countertops and integrated appliances. This generous space includes a dining area, perfect for a table and chairs set by the feature fireplace and glazed bi-fold doors that open onto the rear courtyard.
The Foggett also offers two versatile living areas. The formal living room, with an open fireplace, provides dual-aspect views over the gardens, while a cosy snug warmed by a contemporary log-burning stove offers a welcoming retreat. At the front of the property, a sunroom serves as an additional comfortable seating area with delightful garden views.
On the first floor, you’ll find four double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom with a luxurious freestanding double-ended tub and a Grohe shower with a wet-room screen. The principal bedroom, positioned at the front of the property, overlooks the gardens and boasts beautiful Junkers solid walnut flooring. It also features an en-suite shower room with an overhead rainfall shower and a separate rail-mounted shower head. The three additional bedrooms are equally charming, with two showcasing original fireplaces.
Externally
Externally, The Foggett is accessed via a private gravel driveway set back from Dipton Mill Road. This driveway leads to the rear of the property, offering ample parking for several vehicles and providing access to a detached double garage, which is equipped with lighting and power. This versatile space can serve as a substantial workshop or a convenient storage area.
The generous gardens at the front of the property are beautifully maintained and well presented, showcasing mature, well-stocked borders that enhance the landscape. The main garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a charming gap in the hedge that leads to a hidden fruit orchard to the north. Two expansive flagstone patio areas adjacent to the house offer inviting spaces for al fresco gatherings and relaxation, allowing you to enjoy stunning views over the rolling hills toward Hexham Racecourse.
