The Property 
This grand first floor apartment forms part of an impressive Victorian villa occupying a secluded position at the edge of Corbridge, directly opposite the historic Roman Fort with open parkland beyond.  Built as a family home for a Tyneside shipping magnate and subsequently used as a private boys' school before being converted into seven apartments forty years ago, the building retains the architectural confidence and refined detailing of its origins.  The home offers generous proportions, privacy and a sense of quiet distinction, whilst being within walking distance of the village centre.  Arrival is through a handsome communal entrance hall, where original memorials and a broad staircase rise to the first floor. The apartment itself is accessed via a private entrance hall with cloakroom, creating an immediate sense of separation and security. Beyond, a wide central hallway unfolds, its scale and ceiling height immediately apparent, with ornate cornicing, decorative corbels and original Victorian pine cupboards providing both character and excellent storage.  The principal reception rooms sit to the south, where tall sash windows flood the interiors with natural light and frame open views across the communal gardens and the wooded Tyne Valley beyond. The drawing room is particularly impressive, centred around a deep bay window that draws the eye outward, with high ceilings, elegant proportions and a period fireplace forming a calm and composed living space equally suited to everyday use or entertaining. Across the hall, the dining room mirrors this sense of balance and scale, enjoying the same outlook and offering a refined setting for more formal occasions.  The kitchen is arranged separately, overlooking Corchester Fields, once the playing grounds of the former school and now open parkland. Fitted with solid timber cabinetry, double oven, electric hob and integrated appliances, it is a practical and well organised space, with room for a breakfast table and chairs beneath high ceilings that reinforce the apartment’s sense of volume and light.  There are three bedrooms in total, all generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. One is currently used as a study, fitted with bespoke bookcases and cabinetry designed to complement the period features, while the two principal bedrooms enjoy particularly fine outlooks across the gardens and valley. The rooms are calm and restful, with tall sash windows, soundproofed detailing where appropriate and a consistency of scale that is increasingly rare.  Two spacious bathrooms serve the accommodation, both finished with full length baths and separate shower enclosures, along with traditional sanitaryware and ample space for storage.   A dedicated utility area provides additional functionality, wired for further appliances and leading through to substantial under eaves loft storage, ensuring the main living spaces remain uncluttered.  Extending to over 2,500 square feet in total, the apartment combines the elegance of a traditional country house with the reassurance of a well managed development, offering a refined yet practical home in one of the Tyne Valley’s most sought after settings.    The apartment is set within well maintained communal gardens, defined by mature pine and deciduous trees, open lawns and a strong sense of privacy. South facing aspects ensure excellent natural light throughout the day, with uninterrupted views across surrounding fields and woodland. A double garage, cabled for electric vehicle charging, provides secure parking and storage, complemented by forecourt parking for additional vehicles and visitors. From the garage area, there is direct access onto CorchesterFields, placing countryside walks quite literally on the doorstep while retaining a peaceful and discreet setting just moments from the heart of Corbridge.
