The Property
Dunedin is a splendid character property standing in a central position within the sought-after Tyne Valley village of Corbridge. The beautifully detailed stonework is a fine example of the Victorian style, with a date stone marked 1876 confirming the architectural period. Hugely generous accommodation is complemented by a self-contained one bedroom annexe along with the substantial Coach House and generous garden. This impressive internal and external space is a rare commodity in such a central and accessible location.
Dunedin
The front door opens to a vestibule with wonderful glazed panelling and onwards to the central hall where elegant parquet flooring runs underfoot. There are two grand reception rooms to the front elevation. The sitting room hosts a wealth of period features with a striking box bay window along with magnificent ceiling panels and cornicing. The south facing bay brings swathes of natural light to highlight the cast iron open fire with marble surround. The dining room offers formal entertaining space with twin sash windows and a handsome fireplace.
The kitchen has a range of fitted units with a large AGA within an inglenook. There is space for a table and chairs for casual dining. There is access to both the central hall and the rear hall. The rear hall has lots of fitted storage, access to a useful ground floor WC and a door to the rear of the property. There is also a door to the annexe, bringing the flexibility to configure it as a self-contained apartment or to utilise as part of the main house.
The wide staircase rises via a half landing to the first floor and four double bedrooms. The largest of the bedrooms boasts a fabulous raised sitting area within the bay window, along with an abundance of fitted wardrobes. All of the bedrooms are light and airy, with the high ceilings adding to the sense of space. One bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, whilst the others are served by the family bathroom. In addition to the bedrooms, a study provides the ideal spot to work from home in peace and privacy.
The lovely spindled staircase continues to the second floor with further versatile space. There is scope to use the rooms as additional bedrooms, or to create a nursery, hobby room or an additional bathroom, depending on individual requirements. The cellar provides vast practical storage space and a further store room.
Annexe
The annexe is currently configured as a fully independent one bedroom apartment. Separate external access ensures privacy for all parties. The annexe incorporates a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, all laid out over one floor for accessibility. Interested parties may wish to secure an additional income stream from the annexe. Alternatively, this is a great opportunity to accommodate a dependent relative looking for independence, or to host visiting friends and family. There is also the option to use the annexe to expand the accommodation of the main house still further.
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. This stone under slate outbuilding blends sympathetically with the construction of the house and hosts a large garage along with three store rooms and a gardeners WC.
Hidden behind the Coach House is the wonderful garden, a surprising haven of tranquility 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.
