5 bed detached house for sale

Branton Middlesteads Farmhouse, Glanton, Alnwick NE66

Set within generous and private garden grounds, Middlesteads Farmhouse is a traditional stone-built home approached via its own driveway, surrounded by mature trees, established hedging and areas of lawn, creating a peaceful rural setting with a high degree of privacy.

The entrance vestibule welcomes you into the property and provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation. To the right, the sitting room centres around a fireplace with log burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, and leads through to a spacious formal dining room. This is a particularly bright room, enjoying dual aspect windows and attractive views across the surrounding countryside, offering an ideal space for entertaining and family gatherings.

To the left of the vestibule lies a further reception room, currently used as a family room, complete with an open fire. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor units and features an oil-fired Aga, with a traditional pulley above for drying clothes. Beyond, a rear hallway provides access to the outside of the property. A wet room with shower completes the ground floor accommodation.

A staircase leads to the first floor where there are five bedrooms, three of which benefit from built-in storage. The accommodation is further served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room, in addition to a useful box room which could be utilised as a home office or study.

Externally, to the front of the property is well-established grounds, offering a combination of lawned areas, mature trees and hedging, all of which enhance the sense of seclusion and space.

While the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and renovation throughout, it presents an excellent opportunity to create a superb family home, tailored to individual tastes and requirements.

Middlesteads Farmhouse enjoys a convenient rural position just a short distance from the popular village of Glanton, providing access to local amenities while being well placed for Alnwick and the wider Northumberland area.
