A substantial Victorian country house on the outskirts of Hexham has gone on the market for £2.1 million, offering buyers seven bedrooms, three additional cottages and views across the surrounding Northumberland countryside.
Loughbrow House stands on Dipton Mill Road in an elevated position and is being marketed by Galbraith. The property is reached by a long, sweeping private tarmac drive and is described in the sales material as a striking home.
A period home with seven bedrooms
The house retains a range of period features, including plaster cornicing, traditional sash and case windows and a central staircase. The entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms, which are suited to formal entertaining as well as family living.
The drawing room is reached through the dining room and has a southerly aspect. It looks over the gardens and is described as being filled with natural light. At the rear of the house, the kitchen is arranged around a traditional four-oven, gas-fired Aga, with a utility room and larder alongside it. A secondary staircase rises from this part of the property to the first floor.
The main staircase leads to seven bedrooms. The two principal bedrooms at the front of the house have en-suite bathrooms. The accommodation also includes a further bathroom, two dressing rooms and two additional family bathrooms positioned at either end of the first floor.
Cottages, gardens and countryside
Loughbrow House comes with three extra cottages, one of which is a gate lodge. Outside, the gardens contain a variety of plants and fruit trees, as well as a heated greenhouse.
The property is on the edge of the historic Northumberland market town of Hexham, where the listing highlights local amenities and well-regarded nearby schooling. Transport links to the wider region and further afield include Newcastle International Airport.
The surrounding area is known for rolling landscapes, historic villages and outdoor recreation. The listing also points to opportunities for walking and cycling, together with access to Hadrian’s Wall and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
