The Property
Oriel House is a characterful Grade II Listed property nestled in the hamlet of High Callerton on the periphery of Darras Hall and within minutes of all the amenities in the sought-after village of Ponteland. The location offers excellent access to both the surrounding countryside and all the amenities of the village. Originally built in the 18th century and remodelled in 1892, the property was formerly the service wing of Callerton Hall. The traditional appearance takes in rendered stone and Lakeland slate roofs; updates have taken place in the intervening years, and the property has been recently renovated to offer an immaculate spacious three bedroom home with attractive period features and contemporary interior décor.
An impressive entrance hall with wood panelling and a magnificent wood and decorative metal staircase leads through double doors into the spacious kitchen. To the other side of the entrance hall, a large utility room, which doubles as a boot room, houses laundry facilities and storage. With sleek and stylish contemporary units, integrated oven, space for a large American style fridge/freezer and gas hob on the vast island bench with extractor above, the kitchen has been well designed for modern family living. Moving past a bar area into the open plan sitting room with beautiful feature fire place and ornate ceiling, this is the perfect entertaining space. Arched glazed doors open into a grand dining room with equally elaborate carved ceiling, original stone arch and double doors to the front of the property and into the conservatory; a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the sunshine and lush, green garden views.
To the first floor, the elegant triple aspect principal bedroom with decorative fireplace and smart en-suite shower room enjoys lovely garden views. Two further double bedrooms with luxurious décor are served by a tasteful bathroom with bath and separate double shower cubicle. This is also a Jack & Jill bathroom with one of the bedrooms and there is a separate WC off the stairs, offering great flexibility.
Externally
Oriel House benefits from south-facing gardens with a terrace and lawn. There are two parking spaces in the front courtyard along with a bike store/shed.
