Redshaw House, Grounds and Farm Building with Agricultural Land and Woodland extending in total to approximately 13.42

Elsdon 0.5 mile | Morpeth 19 miles | Newcastle upon Tyne 29 miles | Newcastle Airport 23 miles

DESCRIPTION
Redshaw House is a beautifully restored and superbly appointed four-bedroom farmhouse of great character with outstanding views and includes a residential annexe and other buildings with potential for other uses (subject to obtaining the relevant consents). The property is well-shaped and easily accessible, with the final approach being via a private tarmac roadway.

Redshaw House has been lovingly created by the current owners from the original working farmhouse. This is centrally located within the property and enjoys panoramic views over much of Redesdale to The Cheviot Hills beyond.

While enjoying a striking position with considerable privacy, Redshaw enjoys excellent access. Elsdon Village, with its thriving public house, church and village hall, lies 0.5 mile to the north, with Otterburn around 4 miles to the west. Ponteland (22 miles) and Newcastle upon Tyne (29 miles) are easily reached via the A696 road, situated just over 1 mile to the south. Morpeth lies around 19 miles to the east.

There are 9.77 acres of grazing land and 1.12 acres of woodland. The woodland includes an attractive mixed conifer stand to the west of the farmhouse and another mainly broadleaved compartment. These provide substantial wildlife and ecological interest.

The current owners have devoted enormous attention over the last 30 years to the creation of a fabulous family home and the enhancement of the land and field boundaries. The result is a striking and superbly presented rural property with enormous charm and formidable environmental credentials.

The Property occupies a commanding position and enjoys outstanding views over Elsdon, Bilsmoor and towards the Cheviot Hills. It is approached from the minor public road via a well-maintained private tarmacadam roadway.

The two storey farmhouse has been formed by the careful restoration and extension of the original farmhouse and adjacent byre. It is built in dressed sandstone under slate.

The accommodation includes:

On the ground floor: front entrance porch, reception hall with stairs off, kitchen incorporating extensive Callerton range in oak veneer and incorporating centre isle, four-oven oil-fired Aga and gas-fired Aga Companion plus two-oven electric oven; conservatory off in timber double glazing, drawing room with open log fire with custom made stone hearth surround and mantel, with access directly to conservatory and direct access via French windows onto front (south) terrace; dining room, utility room with good range of fitted wall units, cloakroom, lobby and further side entrance hall. Sun Room: timber double glazed with tiled floors and access directly to garden and leading directly to The Byre

On the first floor: landing; “Long Room”, a guest room with en-suite bathroom; L-shaped master bedroom enjoying views to north, south and west and with en-suite bathroom; two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The Byre: this annexe is linked to the main house by the sun room and incorporates a living area with steam shower room off. It offers guest or dependent relative accommodation, or possible use as office space for home working, or as a gym. There is a loft over which is boarded and carpeted out. The Byre has an independent oil-fired central heating system and also has independent access from the outside.

There is an integral double garage with concrete floor, up-and-over doors, fitted work bench and dog-wash facility.

The house has oil-fired central heating, mains water and is fully double glazed.
