A four-bedroom detached home in Allendale, in the Hexham area, has gone up for auction with a starting bid of £495,000. Set back from the road, the property occupies a plot of approximately 0.6 acres and includes extensive gardens and substantial off-street parking.

The family home is being marketed by Pattinson Estate Agents and offers a sizeable renovation opportunity in a rural Northumberland setting. The estate agent says the property would benefit from cosmetic updating, while presenting buyers with the chance to modernise and personalise a large home.

Gardens, parking and outdoor space

The house has front, side and rear gardens. Its south-facing rear garden extends to the former site of a private tennis court, creating space that could be used for family activities, entertaining or further landscaping.

A large driveway leads to an attached garage and provides ample off-street parking. The home’s position away from the road adds to its set-back layout, although no further details about the access or surrounding properties were provided in the listing.

Inside the four-bedroom property

Visitors enter through a grand entrance hall leading to a generous living room, kitchen diner, utility room, separate office and conservatory. The conservatory looks out over the gardens.

Upstairs, the accommodation includes four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, while a separate family bathroom serves the rest of the floor.

The listing describes the property as a family home in Allendale, one of Northumberland’s sought-after locations. It is currently available through auction, with the opening bid set at £495,000. Prospective buyers should check the auction arrangements and full legal information with the selling agent before bidding.

The property listing includes a 25-image gallery showing the house, rooms, gardens and external areas.
