The Property
Glenwhelt Coach House is a delightful renovated former coach house, full of
character and original features mixed with contemporary refurbishments, to
create a beautiful, unique property in this small and peaceful village. With
spacious accommodation and lush, green gardens leading down to Tipalt Burn,
Glenwhelt Coach House is in a wonderful situation in the heart of Hadrian’s
Wall country. There is easy access to the main infrastructure of the region,
yet the cottage is located amidst some of the most beautiful surroundings that
Cumbria and Northumberland have to offer.
The front door opens into an amazing spacious entrance hall with original
stone walls, exposed wooden beams and a stone spiral staircase down to the
cellar. A window to the rear looks out onto the terrace, and the gardens and
river beyond. Beside the front door is a smart, modern WC and a room that the
current owners use as a study. Across the entrance hall, the sitting room is
an inviting, homely space with beams, an impressive original stone fireplace
with wood burning stove to one end and plenty of light coming in from windows
on both sides including a floor - to - ceiling window with double shutters. There
are double doors into the garden room to the rear. The garden room is a
fabulous place to sit and enjoy uninterrupted views over the gardens to the
river below and it has direct access onto the terrace too.
From the sitting room, a second hall houses the stairs leading up to the first
floor, access to a stylish downstairs shower room and also a door to the front
of the property, plus the entrance into the kitchen. The traditional
farmhouse - style kitchen is complimented by modern units, an island bench with
dining space, and integrated appliances including two ovens and an electric
hob. There is plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a large fridge/freezer
in the kitchen with the utility room providing further storage, laundry
facilities, a separate pantry and access to outside.
To the first floor, the character and history of the property continues with
more exposed stonework, vaulted ceilings, and beams in all four bedrooms. The
largest bedroom is currently utilised as a second sitting room and has a door
leading out and down the original external stone staircase of the coach house.
The bedrooms are served by a contemporary bathroom with a separate bath and
shower.
The cellar with a door into the garden, is an excellent storage space or it
could be used to create a games room or snug.
Externally
To the front of Glenwhelt Coach House is a cobbled driveway and to the side is
a paved area, both of which provide parking for several vehicles. The stunning
gardens to the rear are on various levels with paths, steps and patios leading
between the mature trees, shrubs, wild flowers and fruit trees to the river,
and a useful workshop and wood storage area. Two wonderfully unique features
of these gardens are the arches of the stone bridge over the river and a gate
at the rear which joins a footpath leading to Hadrian’s Wall and Thirlwall
Castle.
