The Farmhouse, Ulgham Park, Morpeth

Ulgham Park Farmhouse was originally converted as part of its steading in 2010. The Farmhouse represents the largest of the properties within the steading and is ideal for those with equestrian pursuits as it benefits from 16 acres of grounds, a grazing paddock and outbuildings. The current owners have significantly improved, altered and extended this beautiful country house over the last 6 years.

The original farmhouse dates back to the 1800s and the new two storey wing of the property was added in 2015.

This stunning country house offers impeccable accommodation beautifully presented to the highest of standards.

The property is set in 16 acres of gardens and grounds and has its own grazing paddock to the south, as well as formal gardens that surround the house itself with a superb driveway, circular at the front, branching off to the side where it connects to the double plus garage. The second entrance is available through the steading of farm buildings which are converted into luxury houses at the rear of the property.

To the front of the house at the south western corner there is a small kitchen garden and vegetable patch as well as a timber garden store as well as a maturing small copse trees which provides good screening and privacy to the house.

The principal entrance to the property is from the main southern elevation, with a newly formed driveway and walkway connecting to an oak panelled door, leading into the entrance vestibule and storage area with base cupboards for shoes.

The stunning reception hall is both to the front and rear of the property. The front hall has a lovely open reception and entertainment area. This opens up in turn to the principal reception hall, which is a stunning room with a lovely fireplace and superb interior design and decoration, with herringbone wood flooring and a useful under stairs general storage cupboard.

The rear hall has a large, double storage cupboard and connects to a separate cloakroom/wc with modern, high quality suite. There is a separate door leading to a useful utility/laundry room.

The rear reception hall opens through to provide a stunning family room and dining room, the family room on a day-to-day basis is at the rear of the house, with a lovely brick fireplace and multi fuel log burning stove, and superb stone flooring running throughout.

Returning to the rear reception hall, a passageway connects to the formal sitting room which is part of a later extension to the house. It is a superb, large room with a stunning stone fireplace and beautiful interior design and decoration. Double doors lead on to the south facing gardens overlooking the surrounding countryside.

The extension then continues with a door leading to the games room, which has lovely wood flooring and a superb top of the range cocktail bar, professionally equipped and fitted with mirrored walls and refrigeration. This room would be ideal for a snooker table and has double doors leading to the garden. The games room leads to what was the original leisure suite, which now provides a separate cloakroom/wc with high quality suite and tiling and gives access to a useful storage area, as well as connecting to the double plus garage.

Returning to the main hall at the front of the house, a staircase leads to the principal first floor landing where there are two feature double bedrooms, both with exposed roofing timbers, built-in wardrobes and lovely views over the gardens. Both bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms which are superbly equipped and fitted.

The principal landing leads on to the new master bedroom suite which is outstanding with superb views to the south. A passageway links to 'His and Hers' dressing rooms, which are very well equipped and fitted and have a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a five piece suite including a wet room area, superb tub bath, two wash hand basins and lovely tiling.

The second master bedroom suite is off the rear landing and is a lovely loft room with a double height roof and exposed timbers. Stairs lead from the master suite to a raised level en-suite dressing room, which is superbly equipped with high quality cabinets and dressing table. There is an en-suite wet room with double shower and wet room area and rainfall shower, wash hand basin and wc.

The passageway connects to the rear wing with a glazed atrium, this is certainly a beautiful part of the house. Here, there are two further bedroom suites, both double rooms with en-suite dressing rooms with walk-in storage and beautiful en-suite shower and wet rooms with state of the art tiling and superb presentation.

It has the benefit of gas fired central heating, high quality double glazing, and very tasteful interior design and decoration throughout.

Externally, to the rear of the property, there is a lovely block paved courtyard and double gates that lead to separate vehicular access shared by the adjacent steading and properties to the rear of the house.

The whole of the courtyard area is beautifully presented with attractive up and down lighters and a lovely stone boundary wall. The courtyard has lovely stone outbuildings which include a professional cinema room with state of the art audio projection and electrically operated screen as well as an en-suite wc and a door connecting through to a useful office and study.

At the opposite end of the courtyard a door links into what could be an independent relative's accommodation, which currently links to a passageway with fitted cabinets giving a kitchen area and a secure storage cupboard leading off. This room currently links into a gymnasium with two windows overlooking the courtyard, professionally equipped and fitted with lovely spotlighting, built-in audio sound and air conditioning system.

The last door within the courtyard outbuilding leads to a boiler room which accommodates the plant and central heating system for hot water throughout the house, including a ground source heat pump for underfloor heating, backed up by a 'Vaillant' gas fired boiler and two quick recovery high capacity water cylinders, with pressurised support system. The room also accommodates the electric circuit breaker controls for the house.

The property has a large agricultural barn which has been built in recent years and provides a very significant agricultural store. Adjacent to the store is a dog kennel and access into the outbuildings and courtyard.

The south eastern corner of the property has a lovely patio terrace and area for alfresco dining. There are lovely block paved walkways and path that surround the house and southern elevation as well as neatly trimmed lawned gardens and well stocked flower and shrub borders with a stone boundary wall.
