Built in the 1890s, this large, extended period home provides spacious and versatile accommodation over three floors, which should appeal particularly to families looking for a house with character and in an excellent location within this semi rural village in the Derwent Valley, ideal for commuting to Newcastle and elsewhere in the region.

Situated within the Rowlands Gill conservation area, the house has UPVC glazing (apart from some single-glazed stained glass windows) and gas central heating, with its generously-sized rooms and many traditional features. The accommodation begins on the ground floor, with a spacious entrance porch into the hallway, which leads to the two large reception rooms that both overlook the garden; the living room with bay windows to the side and front, and the dining room, which has French doors into a conservatory, with further French doors from there out to the garden. At the end of the hallway is the breakfast room, with some built-in storage, and leading through to the fitted kitchen, which has extensive cream units and includes a Rangemaster cooker and integrated appliances. There is also a toilet off the hallway, close to the entrance.

The stairs lead up to the first floor, with the bathroom accessed off the half-landing, and recently refitted with a contemporary white suite that includes a mains-fed shower over the bath. Off the landing there are three large bedrooms, with the main bedroom having an ornamental fireplace and bay window, overlooking the garden and with views beyond, and the second bedroom having a wash basin.

Further stairs lead up to the second floor, where there is plenty of raised storage off the landing, including built-in cupboards and further storage into the eaves. An upper landing area leads to the fourth bedroom, which has a large dormer window to enjoy the views of the Derwent Valley, and the fifth bedroom/study.

Externally, there is a beautiful and well stocked lawned garden with a pleasant patio and seating area out from the conservatory, while there are flower beds alongside the block-paved driveway and car port - which provide plenty of parking space - and another small lawned garden with a wooden shed. There are iron gates at the entrance, onto Dipwood Road, and a small, separate wooden gate for pedestrian access.

There is a new-build house on the neighbouring plot that is now constructed but has to be finished internally and landscaped.

The house is situated on Dipwood Road (A694) - opposite Strathmore Road - in Rowlands Gill, which is a semi-rural village in the Derwent Valley with some shops and facilities, including a doctor's practice, a pharmacy, a post office and Tesco Express store, as well as restaurants and cafes/cake shops and hairdressers/barber. There are local countryside walks including the Derwent Walk and Red Kite Trail as well as popular cycle routes, while the spacious National Trust grounds of the Gibside estate are at the edge of the village. The A694 provides access to Newcastle (8.5 miles) the Metro Centre and the A1(M)(5.3 miles), while Newcastle Airport is just over 10 miles away.
