The Property
Wadge Head is nestled in the heart of Northumberland National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and lies within the region of Northumberland famed for having the darkest skies in England. Set in an elevated position, the house is centrally located within its gardens and grounds, offering breathtaking, panoramic views across the River North Tyne.

The house retains its original character, showcasing a range of charming period features, including elegant fireplaces, original doors, detailed cornicing, and classic sash windows. These traditional elements are complemented by modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms.

The front door opens into a welcoming porch, leading to an entrance hall that provides access to the main reception rooms, a separate WC and into a stylish timber conservatory. Enhancing the living spaces and providing a perfect spot to appreciate the panoramic views over the River North Tyne.

There are two staircases leading to the first floor, adding convenience and flow to the home. The first of which is in the entrance hall. At the end of the hall, double doors reveal a bright and spacious dual aspect drawing room, where rich oak flooring also flows into the adjoining dining room. Two large bay windows offer picturesque views of the garden and the sweeping countryside beyond, while a glazed French door provides access to the sun terrace. The generous sitting room, with charming garden views, is further elevated by original ceiling beams that add character and warmth to the space.

Each of these reception rooms is enhanced with marble fireplaces, each housing a contemporary wood-burning stove. These fireplaces serve as cosy yet sophisticated focal points. The dining room is perfect for hosting and includes a convenient serving hatch to the kitchen.

The kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed, featuring an ultra-modern design with sleek black bespoke cabinetry contrasting elegantly with pristine white marble countertops and breakfast bar, creating a striking and sophisticated aesthetic. Integrated high-end appliances include a Quooker boiling water tap, a Siemens double oven and induction hob beneath a ceiling-mounted range hood. The open layout and minimalist finishes create a refined space perfect for entertaining.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient utility room offers extra storage and plumbing for a washer and dryer. A practical boot room provides ample space for outdoor gear and includes the second staircase leading to the first floor. This area can also be accessed through the side entrance of the house.

Ascending to the first floor, via the main oak staircase, a bright, split-level landing leads to all the bedrooms, bathrooms, and a practical walk-in linen cupboard. The five beautifully decorated bedrooms offer amazing views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. Three of the kingsize bedrooms feature fitted oak wardrobes, while one of the double bedrooms enjoys the added charm of a glazed door that opens to an elegant wrought iron Juliette balcony. These bedrooms are well-served by three spacious modern family bathrooms all featuring underfloor heating for added comfort.

Externally
Wadge Head is accessed via stone entrance pillars and a cattle grid, leading onto a tarmac driveway that gently winds through the grounds. The drive passes by a small amenity woodland and arrives at a large parking area beside the house. The property includes a storeroom, an original stable, and a detached double garage, all equipped with lighting and power. With the necessary planning permissions, these buildings offer great potential for conversion into a separate annexe or additional living space.

A charming flagstone path encircles the property, offering various seating areas where you can enjoy the sun throughout the day while taking in the stunning rural views. The garden, predominantly laid to lawn, is dotted with mature shrubs and trees. The small woodland, covering approximately 3 acres, provides natural shelter. Additionally, the paddock, which covers around 4¾ acres, benefits from a water supply and has gated access both from the garden and the driveway. This versatile outdoor space adds further potential to the property, whether for equestrian use, grazing, or other purposes.
