This substantial ground-floor apartment in the Grade II listed Burn Brae offers generous, characterful living ideal for downsizers seeking space and period charm. High ceilings, original Georgian windows, feature fireplaces and bespoke fitted cabinetry bring authentic character while modern upgrades — a Premier Kitchens fit-out, integrated appliances and double glazing — add everyday comfort.
The layout is flexible: two double bedrooms (both generously proportioned), two bathrooms including an ensuite, and a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. A rare private basement accessed by a hydraulic cellar door provides versatile storage, hobby or home-office space. Externally there’s an enclosed private front yard, well-kept communal gardens and gated resident parking — practical advantages in a town-centre setting.
Material points to note: the apartment is leasehold and within a listed building, so alterations will be restricted and may need listed-building consent; this will affect renovation scope and costs. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation (assumed), and council tax is above average — factor these into running-cost estimates. EPC C and mains gas central heating are positive for energy and comfort but further insulation work would require listed-building approvals.
Located a short level walk from Hexham town centre and overlooking parkland beside St Mary’s Church, the property suits buyers wanting a peaceful, heritage-rich home with excellent local amenities, transport links and outdoor access. For those wanting space without garden maintenance yet with easy access to outdoor areas, this apartment balances town living with a tranquil setting.
