The Property
Painshawfield House is an impressive, detached property set within extensive private gardens, tucked away in a peaceful and highly sought-after Tyne Valley village. A grand entrance sets the tone from the outset, with stone steps leading to a wide front door that opens into a magnificent reception hall stretching the full length of the house. High ceilings, white wood panelling, and rich wooden floors create an immediate sense of sophistication and warmth. At the far end of the hall, step-free access is available via the rear porch, while two superb reception rooms sit to either side. Both feature stunning bay windows that overlook the beautifully landscaped gardens, and side windows that bathe the rooms in natural light. The expansive drawing room has wooden flooring, a wood burning stove in the hearth and a traditional-style radiator, which combine with the high ceiling, coving and picture rail to create an elegant and characterful, yet homely living space. The sitting room, currently used as a play room, mirrors the drawing room in layout, style and character but with a stylish fireplace and surround.

Continuing back down the hall is the kitchen, divided into two rooms that flow into one another; one used primarily for dining with space for a large dining table and chairs and a wonderful aga in the hearth, the other more of a traditional kitchen with sink, dishwasher, gas hob, ample preparation space and a superb walk-in pantry. Again, both rooms are beautifully and elegantly appointed in a traditional and neutral colour palette.

Across the hall, a well-designed lobby gives access to a tastefully finished downstairs WC and the attached garage. Above the garage, a mezzanine level offers flexibility for a variety of uses — ideal as a studio, gym, or further home office.

Up the grand staircase is an equally appealing first floor. The principal bedroom suite continues the feel of downstairs; serene, understated colours, traditional features and sophisticated décor. There is a separate walk-in dressing room, en-suite shower room with WC, double walk-in shower, matching double sinks and a sauna. The size of the en-suite shower room and the quality of the fittings creates a grand, luxurious feel.

Four additional bedrooms are equally well-appointed, one currently used as a home office, demonstrating the property’s adaptability. The family bathroom is a statement in modern luxury, with marble-effect tiles, a separate shower, and a striking freestanding bath. Every upstairs window offers stunning views over the gardens.

Externally
Painshawfield House is set back from the road and surrounded on all sides by mature deciduous trees, hedges and plants, providing an excellent degree of privacy and a tranquil setting. The generous plot extends in all to around 0.81 acres. The gated driveway curves up through the trees towards the garage and a forecourt parking area, suitable for several vehicles.

A patio provides an excellent space for sitting out in the sun and for entertaining, and mature lawns sweep down and around from here, with plenty of space for playing and relaxing, including a tree perfect for a hammock. There are two manicured and more defined lawns by the house and a well-established vegetable garden with raised beds. A traditional stone outbuilding provides excellent storage for gardening equipment and more.
