Set within approximately 0.6 acre of mature grounds, The Red House Farm is a Grade II listed country home that blends original 18th-century character with modern comforts. Principal rooms show period features — exposed beams, original fireplaces and plantation shutters — while a bespoke Clive Christian kitchen, garden room and high-spec integrated appliances deliver contemporary family living. A gated gravel drive, carport and garage provide generous off-street parking for several vehicles.
The house offers flexible accommodation across multiple levels, including five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal suite benefits from its own private staircase up to a dedicated dressing room and luxury en-suite. Ground-floor spaces include a large utility, store room and an office area that could be reconfigured into a self-contained annexe with a separate entrance, subject to the appropriate consents. Three stables on the plot also present further development potential, again dependent on planning permissions.
Buyers should be clear-eyed about material considerations. The property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may increase repair and maintenance costs. The EPC rating is E (46), so energy performance could be improved. The home’s age and scale also mean ongoing upkeep and sensitive conservation work may be required. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown.
This is an opportunity for families or buyers seeking a character home with large, private grounds and genuine further-development potential. If you value historic detail alongside modern, high-spec kitchen and comfortable living areas, and are prepared for listed‑building responsibilities, this property offers rare space and privacy close to Gosforth amenities and transport links.
