A remarkable Grade II listed family home tucked away within the popular village of Riding Mill and built around 1860, this property has been in the same family since 1947. The light, airy rooms, arranged over four floors, give wonderful space and scope and look out over the private driveway and superb gardens, front and rear. Single garage and other parking.

Riding Mill village lies within the Tyne Valley and is surrounded by open countryside. There are good bus and rail links to Tyneside and Hexham.

Full of charm and character, the house has many original features: attractive moulded plasterwork, high ceilings, deep skirting boards and panelled doors, marble fire places with open grate, stripped and varnished floorboards, magnificent coloured glass window and original arched sash windows.
