The property is in a beautiful, peaceful and private setting, yet just four miles from Matfen and eight miles from Corbridge.

Sam Gibson, a partner with Galbraith, said: “This is a sublime small estate offering the potential to enjoy a rural retreat with great privacy, yet within easy reach of Matfen and Corbridge. The house has been beautifully refurbished and upgraded to provide the last word in luxury while the pretty cottages have been successfully let to tenants. The gardens and grazing land are equally attractive, providing a suitable backdrop to the house and the paddocks are also ideal for those with equestrian interests.”

Bog House embodies timeless elegance and modern comfort, blending traditional charm with present day luxury. There are four reception rooms, five bedrooms including the principal bedroom suite and four en suite bathrooms. Of particular note the drawing room, located in the oldest part of the house, has far reaching views over the garden and the countryside beyond. The garden room, with its vaulted ceiling, is situated at the western end of the house, also has a beautiful outlook, and is an ideal space to enjoy the evening sun.

 

The luxurious kitchen has an electric Aga with a central island around it, and an excellent range of floor and wall units along with integrated appliances. At the other end of the kitchen is an open fire and ample space for both dining and comfortable sitting.

The bedroom wing of Bog House is located off the main hallway. There are four bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom facilities and one with a dressing room. A spacious study offers the versatility for use as an additional bedroom if required. The large laundry or utility room completes the accommodation, offering a range of floor units with built in sink, fridge/freezer and a wine fridge. There is a further bedroom with en suite bathroom on the first floor.

The garden wraps around the property, has fabulous far reaching views and combines a mix of flower beds, a kitchen garden with raised beds, beautifully manicured lawns planted with an array of trees including cherry trees and a stone flagged terrace. There is a sheltered south facing courtyard off the kitchen. There is a large detached triple garage with useful storage.

The land extends to about 16.46 acres in all, including permanent pasture grazing land which is split into two main fields. There are two spinneys on the western boundary. The land is grazed by the neighbouring farmer under an informal agreement.

East Cottage and West Cottage are well-presented semi-detached properties, each with their own south-facing garden and paddock. Both properties have  a sitting room, dining kitchen and utility room, with two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs (West Cottage has an additional en-suite to one of the bedrooms).
