The Property
Painshawfield House is a substantial, detached property set within private gardens, quietly positioned in one of the Tyne Valley’s most sought-after villages. A stone pathway and front steps lead to the main entrance, which opens into a large central hallway that runs the length of the house. High ceilings and wooden floors offer a sense of space and original character, while painted wall panelling adds a traditional touch.

At the far end of the hall, step-free access is available via the rear porch, while two well-proportioned reception rooms sit to either side. Both feature bay windows that overlook the beautifully landscaped gardens, and side windows that bathe the rooms in natural light. The 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 classic 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.

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.

Upstairs, the main staircase rises to a bright first floor landing. The principal bedroom is generously sized, with neutral décor and traditional features. It includes a walk-in dressing room and an en-suite shower room with WC, walk-in double shower, twin sinks and a sauna. The four additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, with one currently used as a home office, demonstrating the property’s adaptability. The family bathroom has been updated in a contemporary style, with marble-effect tiles, a separate shower and a freestanding bath, providing a touch of modern comfort. 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.
