Summary - THE ESTATE HOUSE MINSTERACRES CONSETT DH8 9RU
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious restored period house with private grounds and flexible annexe potential.
Four double bedrooms and principal en‑suite bathroom
The Estate House is a striking Georgian stone home set in about 0.72 acres of mature, private grounds. Recently restored with high ceilings, exposed beams and contemporary décor, the house combines generous family living spaces with period character — large kitchen/dining with vaulted ceiling and orangery, formal sitting room and a study/snug ideal for home working. The ground floor layout suits entertaining and everyday family life, with underfloor heating in the kitchen/orangery supplied by an air source heat pump.
Upstairs provides a generous principal suite with substantial fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en‑suite, plus three further double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. A substantial double garage includes a sizeable first‑floor room with shower, currently used as a gym/office; this could remain flexible as a guest suite or be converted into a self‑contained annexe subject to consent.
Externally the approach is memorable — an avenue of mature redwoods — and extensive lawns, patios, hot tub and a summerhouse create distinct outdoor rooms. The property sits in a peaceful rural hamlet yet retains good road access to Corbridge, Hexham and Newcastle, making it suitable for family buyers seeking countryside privacy with commuter reach.
Notable practical points are set out plainly: drainage is to a private septic tank; the main heating system includes coal‑fired fuel and radiators alongside the air source heat pump; external stone walls are historic and assumed uninsulated; broadband speeds are very slow in this location; council tax is described as quite expensive. The EPC is D. These factors may affect ongoing running costs and modernisation plans.
