5 Bedroom House - Mid Terrace
Robinsons are excited to offer this truly impressive home, set within the historic Grade II* listed Stanhope Hall, this exceptional five-bedroom residence blends rich heritage with refined contemporary style. Dating back in part to the 12th century, the home retains an abundance of original character, including exposed stonework, timber beams, mullioned windows, elegant fireplaces and beautifully panelled walls. Positioned on the edge of the charming market town of Stanhope, the property enjoys immediate access to the rolling landscapes of the North Pennines National Landscape.
The heart of the home is the magnificent 32ft split-level drawing and dining room, a striking space centred around a grand Tudor inglenook fireplace. High ceilings, original wood panelling, window seats and an impressive arched studded door create a warm yet dramatic setting for both entertaining and everyday living. A separate sitting room, with exposed stone walls and a wood-burning stove, offers a more intimate retreat.
The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with fitted cabinetry, wooden worktops, a butler sink and space for modern appliances, combining practicality with timeless style.
Across the upper floors are five beautifully presented bedrooms, each with its own en suite. Two generous double bedrooms occupy the first floor, while the second floor offers three further bedrooms, including two doubles, providing flexible accommodation for family living or guest use.
Outside, the property benefits from private parking for several vehicles and beautifully enclosed gardens to the front and rear. A gravel terrace and raised deck beneath a timber pergola create elegant spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the lawned areas remain easy to maintain.
