Large modern stone home with panoramic National Park views and energy-efficient systems.
Detached stone-built new build, approx. 2,700 sq ft
Set on a very large plot within the Northumberland National Park boundary, Red Lion House is a substantial new-build stone home offering about 2,700 sq ft of flexible living space across two floors. The house is designed with contemporary details — high insulation, air-source heat pump, solar thermal panels and double glazing — and will be finished in natural stone with a slate roof. Large open-plan living with bi-folding doors, a sunroom and a principal bedroom with Juliet balcony take full advantage of the panoramic countryside views.
The accommodation includes an entrance porch and hall, utility and cloakroom, study/office, open-plan sitting/dining/kitchen with integrated appliances, sunroom and integral garage on the ground floor. Upstairs is a principal suite with dressing room and en-suite, plus three further bedrooms (one en-suite) and a family bathroom. The developer is at early construction stages so buyers can select many finishes; PC sums are provided but upgrades are at additional cost.
Practical realities are important here: the property occupies a remote hamlet location with no mobile signal and very slow broadband, so it suits buyers who need countryside isolation rather than reliable digital connectivity. Crime statistics for the wider area are above average and the locality is classified as deprived — factors to weigh when considering long-term resale or rental potential. Access is by rural roads and the site is offered freehold.
This house will suit purchasers seeking a spacious family home or countryside retreat with modern energy features and exceptional views. It will also attract buyers prepared to accept rural limitations (connectivity, services and relative isolation) in return for privacy, a large plot and the chance to influence final internal finishes.
