Spacious family home with mature private grounds and modern low‑carbon features.
Substantial stone-built detached house with panoramic Tyne Valley views
Tucked behind electric gates on the edge of Wylam, Garden Cottage is a substantial stone-built home that combines generous living space with sweeping countryside views. The house sits within approximately 1.85 acres of formally landscaped gardens (6.21 acres all-in), with a ha-ha protecting the outlook across the Tyne Valley while keeping the grounds private and usable for family life.
Internally the layout suits family living and entertaining: a large sitting room with woodburner, vaulted garden room, spacious kitchen/dining area, study and utility on the ground floor, four double bedrooms upstairs plus two large attic rooms on the top floor. High-quality fittings, oak floors and plentiful glazing create light, comfortable rooms; the attic spaces offer flexible options as guest bedrooms, playrooms or studios.
The property is equipped for lower-running costs and low-emission motoring with solar panels, battery storage, air-source heat pump and an EV charging point in the double garage. Practical features include a detached double garage/workshop, generous tarmac driveway and multiple terraces and seating areas designed to follow the sun.
Important practical points: the house uses LPG for its boiler (not a community supply), drainage is to a private treatment plant, broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is Band G (quite expensive). The grounds are substantial and well-maintained but will require ongoing upkeep or management if buyers prefer lower-maintenance outdoor space.
