Summary - KIRKSTONE NEWTON ON THE MOOR MORPETH NE65 9JY
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Unique three-bedroom village home with south-facing garden and parking.
Converted 1862 stone chapel with strong period character
Kirkstone is a striking converted Methodist chapel dating from 1862, set in the centre of Newton on The Moor. The stone-built house blends original character with practical modern upgrades: full-height windows, a wood-burning stove, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with a granite-topped peninsula and a five-burner gas range. With three double bedrooms and two bathrooms across a generous 1,357 sq ft, the layout suits families who need distinct living and dining zones plus a useful utility room.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden and paved patio create a sunny, sheltered spot for alfresco dining, while a gravelled parking area has space for two cars. The property sits in a very low-crime, affluent rural community with easy A1 access to Morpeth and Alnwick, and local amenities including a pub and good primary and secondary schools nearby.
Practical points to note: the stone walls are original and assumed to lack cavity insulation, so buyers should factor potential wall-insulation or retrofit costs into budgets. The plot is small and maintenance of mature borders is required. Broadband and mobile signals are described as average, and council tax details are not provided. Currently used as a holiday home, the house also offers obvious second-home or letting potential subject to local planning and marketing.
In short, Kirkstone will appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive period home in a peaceful village setting with sensible modern comforts, but who are prepared to consider retrofit insulation and accept a compact plot.
