Amersidelaw Farmhouse, Chatton, Alnwick, Northumberland

A stylish and imposing, stone built, period farmhouse, with an impressive stone steading and gated courtyard of barns, stables and a former dovecote, sitting in an elevated position with stunning views to the Northumberland National Park & Cheviot Hills, and surrounded by 20 acres of mature formal gardens, grounds and woodland. Viewing essential.

Amersidelaw Farmhouse is a beautiful home dating back to the early 1800's, with accommodation extending to 5630 sq ft, and has in the last two years been stylised with new decor, soft furnishings, light fittings and floor coverings, creating a magnificent country home full of warmth and character. A significant part of Amersidelaw is the substantial range of outbuildings set to a 'U' shaped courtyard, including barns with byre style entrance and haylofts, as well as a handsome dovecote with lovely walled garden, offering excellent potential for further development (subject to normal permissions and planning) and could lend themselves to a variety of uses.

Amersidelaw is approx. 1.5 miles from the rural village of Chatton, within the Glendale Valley on the river Till. Chatton itself enjoys a thriving community with village store/post office, church and village hall, as well as cricket club, art gallery and gastro pub, The Percy Arms. Whilst being close to the historic Chillingham Castle, famous for its wild cattle, Amersidelaw is also just a few miles inland from the stunning Northumberland coastline and beaches of Bamburgh, Budle Bay and Lindisfarne.

Works completed by the current owners include; the replacement and resurfacing of the road, a former farm track, from the village right up to the farm, the replacement of all of the fencing to the 20 acres of land, extension of the formal garden with further lawns with dog proof fencing, and the maintenance of the woodland. The stone steading has a new roof to all of the buildings, repointing work done and has been softened with the construction of an attractive stone wall, with two sets of impressive iron double gates, external lighting, and the open garaging cleared with power and lighting added. Additional trees and shrubs have been planted, the 'Secret Garden' has been landscaped further, and Alncom have installed Superfast Broadband.
