Summary - Sidwood, Wark NE48 3DG
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large gardens, orchard and garage with sweeping rural views.
Four double bedrooms with ensuite to the master
Sidwood is a detached period family house occupying a large elevated plot with extensive, well-tended gardens and far-reaching Northumberland countryside views. The house retains many original features — sash windows, detailed cornicing, original doors and traditional fireplaces — combined with some modern updates such as later double glazing. The layout provides two formal reception rooms, a kitchen with utility/cloakroom, conservatory/morning room and four bedrooms, including an ensuite to the principal room.
The grounds are a standout: tiered formal gardens, an orchard area, a burn running through the lower bowl and direct field-gate access onto the rear driveway. Parking is ample with a double garage and additional parking space. The property is offered chain free, making it suitable for buyers wanting a quicker move into village life or families seeking extra outdoor space for children and hobbies.
Practical points to note: the EPC is rated E and the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler feeding radiators, which may affect running costs and future servicing. Broadband speeds in the hamlet are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is above average for the area. The location is peaceful and remote, popular with walkers and nature lovers, but local everyday amenities are limited and the property suits buyers comfortable with rural living.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home with substantial outside space and clear potential to personalise or upgrade heating and energy performance. It will appeal to those seeking privacy, garden scope and a strong connection to countryside life while accepting the trade-offs of a remoter location and older heating and energy ratings.
