Summary - SHORTYCROFT STOCKSFIELD NE43 7SB
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom family home with stables and huge private grounds.
Approximately three acres with stables and turnout paddocks
Set within about three acres of formal gardens, paddocks and stabling, this traditional five-bedroom detached home offers genuine country living with room for a family and horses. The house combines period features — bay windows, exposed beams and a stone fireplace — with practical family spaces including a farmhouse-style kitchen, bright sitting room and a garden room that frames the wide rural views.
The grounds are a major asset: gated entrance, parking, garage, tack room, stables and turnout paddocks provide immediate equestrian use or scope for hobby farming. Interior highlights include solid wooden floors, a wood-burning stove in the snug, a master bedroom with ensuite, and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath. Many rooms enjoy triple or dual aspects that capture the surrounding countryside.
Practical points are straightforward and should be factored into any purchase decision. The property runs on LPG with a boiler and radiators; the energy performance rating is E (39). Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — important for home working. Council tax is described as quite expensive. While well-appointed, the house is traditional in layout and will suit buyers wanting character rather than a contemporary, low-maintenance finish.
This home will appeal to families and those seeking a countryside lifestyle with equestrian facilities close to Stocksfield and Whittonstall. Good local schools, low local crime and direct rail links to Newcastle and Carlisle add commuter convenience. Buyers planning modernization, improved energy performance or faster connectivity will find clear scope to add value while preserving the property’s character.
