Nestled amongst the glorious landscape of the Northumbrian Tyne Valley, take a
step back in time with this prominent and expansive Victorian stone - built
country home known as ‘Apperley Dene. ’ A home that was built to make memories,
the team at Bricks & Mortar couldn’t be more humbled in offering this
beautiful home for sale and allowing you the opportunity to make your own
memories here.
Entered via wrought - iron electric gates, the meandering driveway opens out
onto the grounds with an impressive feature turning circle marking the
grandeur of this incredible plot. Set on approximately 8. 5 acres, the property
dates back to the mid - 1800s and retains the charm and character of its time
with its presentation and detailing.
Inset, stone steps lead to the solid Mahogany front door before you are led
through to the entrance vestibule with ceramic tiling to the floor, decorative
cornicing as found throughout most of the property and a connecting,
convenient cloakroom with WC.
Reminiscent of the famous cs Lewis novel, the entrance hallway is the Narnia
of the home providing a vast walkway spanning the length of the property and
providing access to the majority of the property’s reception, leisure and
bedrooms. It is rare to find such an elegant and vast hallway in a property;
from its dual aspect windows, a sweeping staircase with beautiful spindles,
elegant pillars and rounded archways for depth, this is certainly no ordinary
walkway.
The drawing room is substantial in proportion offering a stunning outlook onto
the rear garden from two windows, one of which a large bay. The room is
centred around the focal working fireplace with intricate plaster mantle and
marble hearth.
The grand dining room also includes a stunning fireplace and is a fantastic
room for entertaining, bringing the outside in thanks to the quaint French
doors as well as a sweeping bay window for a forward - facing projection of the
front garden which faces North.
Head south down the hallway and to the farthest end is a secondary living
room, formerly known as the’ School Room’ set on the corner aspect with dual
views out to the garden along with a log burner for those cosy winter
evenings.
Across the hall, pass your afternoons away in the ‘Billiard Room’ which is
excellently proportioned including the central full - size Billiard table, brass
downlights, fireplace with built - in cabinets either side and two windows, once
of which has delightful integrated seating. From here, you can also access the
garden room and a WC along with the rear courtyard, laundry room, work/storage
room and gardens.
Returning to the entrance vestibule, take a left along the cosy corridor and
you are met with the charming kitchen and diner which is also used as an open
plan family room. The exposed brickwork to the back wall and central archway
compliment the country home aesthetic along with the white shaker units and
combination wooden and granite work surfaces. There is a focal island along
with electric aga, ample storage and quality tiled flooring. A patio door also
leads out to an appealing seating area.
The ground floor also contains a utility room, dark room, cloakroom and cellar
in addition to a secondary, former servant’s staircase.
Continuing with the style of the ground floor hallway, the central staircase
opens out into an impressive open landing lit by a vast leaded window and of
which links both wings of the property.
The master bedroom suite is to the North wing and accessed via its own
dressing room with in - built floor to ceiling storage, dual aspect windows to
the bedroom and to the opposite end of the dressing room, its own en - suite
bathroom.
There are four further generous bedrooms to the first floor, the South
bedrooms including fitted wardrobes. Nestled in between is a bathroom and
sauna. There is an additional bathroom off the landing and across from the
middle bedrooms.
Returning to the servant’s staircase will grant you access to the attic rooms
with three further rooms and storage which could be used as additional living
space, bedrooms or transformed into a self - serving apartment.
Externally
Whilst the property itself is certainly a monumentally proportioned home,
Apperley Dene truly has the wow factor when it comes to the land it sits on.
Contained within its 8. 5 acres, there is a full sized - tennis court, vast
driveway which leads to a rear car port with space for multiple vehicles,
courtyard and of course, the beautifully landscaped gardens which have been
zoned for various seating areas.
The front lawn leads out to the paddock and surrounding wooded area and to the
rear and sides of the property, the gardens include various trees and
shrubbery.
A Lawful Development Certificate is also in place to approve future
construction of a gym/solarium and office as a separate building

Locality
Whilst an incredibly quiet and homely plot, the property certainly is not
isolated from the numerous attractions and amenities on offer in its
surrounding locality.
Positioned within Stocksfield, on the River Tyne’s south bank, there is a golf
course, tennis club, doctor’s surgery, post office and village shops to name a
few.
There is a perfect blend of country life yet easy access to the City should
you choose. Scenic walks are aplenty as the property is close to
streams/rivers and picturesque walks through the woodlands.
As a commuter town, Newcastle upon Tyne is easily reached but the popular
towns of Hexham and Corbridge are just a short drive away with their various
tea rooms, country pubs and restaurants in addition to an abundance of leisure
activities.
There are local schools in close proximity with a state primary school to the
village, senior school in Hexham and Prudhoe. There is also access to the
nearby private school Mowden Hall.
Newcastle City Centre is approximately a 30 minute drive away from the
property and there is a train station at Stocksfield for links cross - country.
