Orchard House is a substantial six-bedroom detached home set in very large private grounds in Whalton. The house blends modernised traditional character—decorative coving, inglenooks and exposed fireplaces—with high-end fittings in key rooms such as the kitchen and principal ensuite. South-facing gardens, extensive patio space and far-reaching field views create a peaceful rural setting ideal for families who value outdoor space and privacy.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors and includes a spacious master suite with dressing area and Juliette balcony, two further ensuites, an office/sixth bedroom and four reception rooms that suit flexible family living and entertaining. A large kitchen with island, Aga and garden room is the heart of the home, while separate utility, playroom and double garage add practical convenience.
Buyers should note practical and running-cost factors: the property uses oil-fired central heating, cavity walls were built without added insulation (assumed), and broadband speeds are slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are important considerations for ongoing costs and any future improvement plans.
The location offers village life with good local amenities and strong schools, while Morpeth, Ponteland and Newcastle remain accessible for commuting. For families seeking space, character and country living close to transport links and an airport, this house offers a rare combination of size, finish and setting; buyers seeking the most energy-efficient or ultra-modern home should factor in potential upgrades.
