A Large, Fully Restored Period Property Set On A Peaceful Stretch Of Countryside Just Outside Alston

High Fell House is a large, fully restored period property set on a peaceful stretch of countryside just outside Alston. The house offers almost 5,000sqft of living space and keeps its historic feel through exposed stone walls, solid timber beams and original fireplaces, while the interiors have been finished to a high modern standard and presented with a coordinating palette of very well considered Farrow & Ball colours.

On the ground floor you will find a range of reception rooms that work equally well for formal entertaining and everyday family life. The elegant drawing room has a striking stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove and the separate reading room has an equally eye-catching fireplace. The formal dining room retains its exposed beams and creates a warm setting for dinner parties. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen and breakfast room equipped with a traditional Aga, bespoke wooden cabinets and premium integrated appliances. Large French style doors open the kitchen onto a south facing terrace and, linked to the kitchen is a light-filled garden room that looks out over the surrounding hills. A practical utility room, a dual-aspect family room, a den, a shower room, a coat room and a welcoming porch complete the ground floor layout.

The first floor provides six well sized bedrooms. The dual aspect principal bedroom is generous and includes its own en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms also enjoy private en-suite facilities, while the remaining rooms share a family shower room. Throughout the upper level, exposed stone walls and timbers continue the home’s distinctive period character.
