Full-service property firm, Bradley Hall, shares their property of the week exclusively with Portfolio North.
Nestled within the serene hamlet of Shilvington in rural Northumberland, just 5 miles southwest of Morpeth, The Manor House stands as a testament to idyllic country living. Set amidst more than 6 acres of private grassland, this stone-built detached house boasts over 5,500 square feet of exquisite living space sprawled across three levels. If you’re in search of a tranquil and secluded retreat with the conveniences of a bustling town within a short drive, your quest ends here.
As you step inside The Manor House through the principal entrance vestibule, the Dining Room greets you with open arms. This spacious 375-square-foot room is bathed in natural light, thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides. Presently, it houses a generous dining table and an informal lounge area. On this level, you’ll also find three additional reception rooms, the kitchen, and toilet and storage facilities.
Venturing downstairs, you’ll discover four inviting bedrooms, each boasting its own en-suite facilities. Among the lower floor’s treasures is a fully equipped gym complete with a shower and washroom, which could easily be transformed into another en-suite bedroom, should the new owner desire. Despite being partially subterranean, this level benefits from ample natural light streaming in through elevated windows, providing cool respite in the summer and enhanced insulation during winter.
On the first floor’s northern side, two more bedrooms and a spacious store room await. Meanwhile, to the south side, a first-floor office provides the perfect space for working from home.
The fully fitted kitchen is a culinary haven, featuring a central crescent-shaped island designed for entertaining. It also boasts an Aga, a six-ring burner, a hot-plate/teppanyaki, and a plethora of other modern conveniences. The en-suite facilities are equally impressive, with the master bedroom taking the crown, offering a central jacuzzi bath, his and hers sinks, and feature walk-in showers.
The Manor House enjoys a gated entrance with ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles. The property and adjoining field on the north side of the lane encompass a total of 4.21 acres, with the property’s ownership extending north to Shilvington Burn and east to the road. South of the lane running through the hamlet, an additional 1.89 acres of land awaits exploration. The paddock to the west of the home comes complete with a selection of outbuildings, including a wooden garage, a hay barn, a field shelter, and a stone-built stable/outhouse.
Built by the current owners, The Manor House is now available for the very first time on the market. It epitomizes the “best of both worlds,” offering the bustling Newcastle City Centre a mere 13-mile drive away, with the amenities of Morpeth and Ponteland within 5 and 6 miles, respectively. Yet, it also provides the peace and serenity of the countryside, along with ample land for rural pursuits right at your doorstep.
The Manor House in Shilvington beckons with open arms, promising a lifestyle that seamlessly blends modern luxury with the tranquility of rural Northumberland.
