The Property
Commanding a prominent position at the entrance to Allendale Town, Elmcroft is a handsome stone-built Victorian house that has been thoughtfully renovated to combine timeless character with practical, modern living. Originally a vicarage, the property stands detached within a private plot and offers generous proportions across two floors, with period detailing retained and reinterpreted throughout.

A wide entrance vestibule leads into the central hall, where parquet flooring and a finely carved staircase set the tone for the home’s craftsmanship and scale. To either side lie two formal reception rooms, both flooded with natural light through tall sash windows. The sitting room features a striking stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, flanked by bespoke shelving. Across the hall, the dining room provides ample space for entertaining, enhanced by high ceilings, a decorative ceiling rose and shuttered windows that open to garden views.

To the rear, the kitchen is arranged for both everyday use and casual hosting. Painted timber cabinetry is paired with solid wood worktops and a Belfast sink, while a range cooker is set into a neat recess. The room allows space for informal dining, and connects easily to a boot room and utility, both fitted with custom cabinetry offering extensive storage. The utility also houses the property’s sustainable biomass boiler, neatly concealed yet easily accessible. A snug at the rear of the house currently serves as both a guest bedroom and a home office but could be used as a permanent ground floor bedroom if required. The adjacent shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor reveals four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a wide landing, where a carved balustrade and archway draw the eye. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room and enjoys views over the garden. Three further bedrooms are served by a generous family bathroom, where contemporary fittings are set against bold colour and patterned flooring, giving the room a playful, modern edge. The smallest bedroom includes a full wall of fitted wardrobes and currently functions as a dual-purpose guest room and study.

Above, an extensive loft would be readily suitable for further development, subject to consent, offering potential for two or three additional bedrooms or a large additional living space.

Externally
Elmcroft is approached via a sweeping driveway to the rear, offering parking for several vehicles and leading to a detached timber garage. To the front, the garden is largely laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and boundary fencing. A private timber-decked seating terrace wraps around the side of the property, forming an enclosed and sheltered area ideal for al fresco dining and relaxed outdoor entertaining. This well-designed space includes both lounging and dining zones, softened by planters and string lighting for evening use. The property also benefits from an electric vehicle charging point and rooftop solar panels, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability.
