A Private And Peaceful Countryside Property In The Heart Of Rural Northumberland

Constructed from mellow sandstone, Bog House is an exceptional country home providing complete privacy and tranquility, whilst remaining remarkably well connected to the principal business, commercial and transport links across the North East. Combining period character with modern comforts, the property has been thoughtfully designed to create an elegant yet highly practical family home.

A welcoming reception hall forms the heart of the house, providing a natural divide between the principal reception rooms and the bedroom accommodation. Situated within the oldest part of the property, the impressive drawing room enjoys far-reaching views across the gardens and surrounding countryside through its tall, elegant windows. Double doors open into the adjoining garden room, while a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and an ornate fireplace housing a solid fuel stove creates a wonderfully warm and inviting atmosphere. Positioned at the western end of the house, the garden room enjoys a spectacular outlook and is perfectly placed to make the most of the evening sunshine, providing an ideal pace to relax throughout the year. Opposite the drawing room, the generous kitchen is designed very much as the social hub of the home. Full-height south-facing windows and glazed doors fill the room with natural light and open directly into the sheltered south-facing courtyard, creating a delightful suntrap in every season. The kitchen centres around an electric Aga set within a substantial island and is complemented by an excellent range of fitted wall and base units together with integrated appliances. At the opposite end of the room, an open fireplace, generous dining space and comfortable seating area combine to create a room equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining. The dining room is accessed via double doors from the reception hall and is an elegant, light-filled space overlooking the gardens through an impressive run of sash windows. A striking feature fireplace provides an attractive focal point, while a sweeping staircase rises to the principal bedroom suite with its en-suite bathroom. The bedroom accommodation is arranged within its own wing of the house, providing four further bedrooms, each benefiting from en-suite facilities, with one also enjoying the addition of a dressing room. A spacious study offers excellent flexibility and could readily serve as an additional bedroom if required. Completing the accommodation is a generous laundry/utility room fitted with a range of base units incorporating a sink, fridge/freezer and wine fridge. From here there is access to the plant room, which houses the controls and hot water cylinders for the ground-source heat pump system. This provides underfloor heating to the principal rooms and radiator heating to the bedrooms. A door from the utility room leads directly to the rear porch.
