Set on the edge of Haydon Bridge, this substantial stone semi-detached house combines Victorian charm with practical family living. Five double bedrooms and generous reception rooms suit growing families or multi-generation households. High ceilings, sash windows and original features give character throughout, while large front and rear gardens and detached garaging provide space for parking, play and storage.
Recent energy upgrades reduce running costs: 10 roof solar panels, a newly installed air source heat pump, and new smart-controlled radiators. The plot includes private bankside ownership and fishing rights, a rare countryside bonus. The home is within comfortable walking distance of shops, schools and local amenities, yet sits in a peaceful town-fringe setting with scenic river and countryside views.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of F and remains primarily heated by an oil boiler to some radiators (oil not on a community supply). External stone walls are uninsulated (as-built), double glazing install date is unknown, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. There is a single main bathroom and some rooms have sloping ceilings on the second floor. Council Tax is in band E.
This house suits a family seeking character, outdoor space and scope to personalise. An internal inspection is recommended to appreciate room proportions and the potential for further efficiency improvements or cosmetic updating.
