Station House is a handsome Grade II listed sandstone property built circa 1835 and carefully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded to suit modern living while keeping its period character. The sandstone façade presents refined Georgian symmetry and proportion, distinguished by a semi-circular bay that signals the quality of the architecture and adds elegance and presence. All accommodation is arranged on one level, giving the house a calm, airy flow. Tall sash windows, generous ceiling heights and considered finishes create an elegant setting, with the oldest part of the house enjoying impressive tall ceilings and soaring Georgian windows that flood the rooms with natural light, amplifying the sense of space. The plan runs with clarity, with four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged off a central hall, supported by versatile reception spaces and a well-specified kitchen. The reception sequence opens in a broad hall with exposed beams that sets a quietly grand tone for the house. To one side, the sitting room is an inviting, well balanced space, the shallow curved bay and deep sash windows bringing soft light across decorative cornice work and an original fireplace. A second reception room, used informally for family living and dining, sits alongside the kitchen and gives further flexibility for entertaining or quiet reading. There is also a dedicated home office located off the hall. Tasteful décor is maintained throughout, with walls painted in Farrow and Ball neutral shades for a refined, timeless backdrop, complemented by elegant wall lights and chandelier style fittings that are in keeping with the period character. The kitchen is arranged to cook, gather and linger. Tall ceilings frame painted solid wood cabinetry with quality granite work surfaces, a double ceramic sink with high quality brass mixer tap in the French style, and a high specification six burner SMEG range cooker. A solid wood planked floor runs the length of the room, providing warmth and reinforcing the character. A long counter and breakfast seating look to the sitting area beyond, and a wood burning stove anchors this end of the space, making it a natural place to start and end the day. Outlooks from the house take in the gardens, with a south facing aspect giving excellent light through the day. The principal bedroom, set within the oldest part of the house, is calm and carefully proportioned. Natural light pours through a tall sash window with wooden shutters, while an elegant ceiling rose and a traditional cast iron radiator underline the period feel. There is comfortable space for a king-sized bed and occasional seating. Three further bedrooms complete the arrangement, each a good size with pleasant aspects over the gardens and suited to quiet guest or family use. The largest of the three has a smart, practical en suite with neutral tiling, a glazed corner shower and a twin basin vanity offering generous storage and surface space. The main bathroom is fitted with quality fittings, including a freestanding bath and a separate glazed shower. A quietly refined home in a quiet village setting, Station House brings single storey ease to listed architecture, with practical detailing for everyday life. The setting underscores the area’s historic appeal, with Hadrian’s Wall and its landmark sites close by, together with good pubs and country walks. A sweeping gravel drive leads to the house and on to a detached garage with adjoining workshop. The gardens wrap around the property and are designed for easy enjoyment, level lawns edged by established hedging for privacy, a broad stone terrace for outdoor dining, and seasonal colour from well stocked borders. A sheltered summer pavilion sits within a productive corner near the greenhouse and fruit trees, with additional outbuildings providing a spacious, separate laundry away from the house, and a boiler room. The arrangement delivers attractive outlooks from the principal rooms together with practical amenity for day to day living and relaxed entertaining.
