Brunton Water Mill is a beautifully presented stone built property nestled in attractive landscaped gardens on the outskirts of the popular Tyne Valley market town of Hexham. A former farm and water mill dating from the nineteenth century, the building was converted in the 1990s and has been comprehensively reconfigured and refurbished by the current owners to offer flexible and generously proportioned living accommodation that retains a wealth of charm and character whilst providing modern touches such as double UPVC glazing throughout. A truly impressive property, Brunton Watermill benefits from a rural yet convenient location with stunning open views of the surrounding Northumberland countryside.

The front door opens into a delightful entrance vestibule, which in turn leads into a warm and welcoming reception hall with access to the ground floor accommodation and a staircase to the first floor. The kitchen provides a stunning heart of the home and is fitted with an extensive range of bespoke oak units as well as a central island, stylish granite work surfaces and a 1½ bowl sink. Integrated appliances include a fridge, two freezers and a microwave oven. There is also a Rangemaster electric range cooker and extractor fan as well as plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and dishwasher. A handsome and substantial oak dresser further enhances this most charming room. A large window floods the kitchen with natural light and offers picturesque views over the front garden and terrace. A hatch door in the kitchen floor opens to a robust set of stairs leading down to the lower ground cellar. Generously proportioned, the cellar is currently used as a hobby room and home gym. The central heating boiler is housed within a cupboard in the cellar.

Elegant French doors lead from the reception hall to the sitting room where a large bay window offers views over the front garden and countryside beyond. Bright and spacious, the sitting room is immediately impressive with its generous proportions and inglenook fireplace with a multifuel stove, burning wood and anthracite. A pair of pocket doors provide access to the dining room and slide to concealed positions behind attractive fitted bookcases. French doors lead from the sitting room to the side garden and a further door provides access to the fabulous garden room. Substantial in size and hugely versatile, the garden room offers beautiful views over the gardens and open countryside. Renovated by the current owners, the garden room has been reinsulated and updated with new external tongue and groove cladding and a new reproduction slate roof. Four of the windows are tilt and turn which can be opened to enjoy the beauty of Northumberland in the summer, whilst two Velux windows further enhance the sense of light and space. An external door adjacent to the garden room provides external access to the front garden. A cloakroom with WC and washbasin completes the downstairs accommodation.

The staircase leads to the first floor via a half-landing bathed in natural light. The spacious master bedroom offers splendid rural views and benefits from expansive fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom comprising bath, shower, wash hand basin and WC. There are three further bedrooms, one of which offers an en-suite shower room. The fourth bedroom is currently configured as a study/home office with extensive fitted worktops and cupboards. The family bathroom comprises a bath, shower, wash hand basin and WC. A hatch in the ceiling of the landing leads to a boarded loft.
