Property description

Built in 1901 and occupying a highly desirable central village location, 'Wensley House' is a unique detached family home which is likely to appeal to those looking for a substantial property with a difference. Boasting five double bedrooms and four en-suites to the first floor, opportunities such as this rarely present themselves to the open market. The ground floor accommodation of this freehold property is equally impressive - a generous lounge / dining room, fitted kitchen / family room, separate sitting room, study and conservatory provide ample living space. Meanwhile staircases at either end of the property lead up to the first floor. Externally there are gardens to the front and the rear with access to all sides. A driveway and double detached garage provide both off-street parking for several cars and additional storage space. The current owner has been operating a B & B business at the property over the past few years using just two of the five bedrooms, this could easily be expanded. There is also plenty of scope throughout, depending on the new owners preferences. Overall, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial and unique detached family home in a desirable location just a short distance from Newcastle and the A1 as well as the beautiful countryside along the Derwent Walk.
