Foxwood is an attractive stone-built home situated in the heart of the highly sought-after conservation village of Whalton. Located within easy reach of the excellent amenities in the lovely town of Morpeth, it is also just a short commute to Newcastle. Whalton is a picturesque village with a vibrant, active community, regularly hosting events in the village hall and an annual country show that brings everyone together. Foxwood benefits from stunning country views and the excellent village pub and local primary school are just a short walk away.
The property, built approximately thirty years ago and beautifully renovated by the current owners, offers light, spacious and versatile accommodation, blending modern comfort with the warm, welcoming charm of a traditional home.
The stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and garden room is the heart of the home. Full of light, this fabulous room is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Whether cooking a delicious meal in the kitchen, relaxing in the sunlit garden room, or cosying up by the wood burner, it offers a wonderfully inviting atmosphere for any occasion.
The secluded south-facing gardens are an absolute delight, offering a tranquil sanctuary to unwind and savour the warmer months. Sheltered by mature shrubs and hedging, this pretty retreat is both private and serene and the perfect setting for al fresco dining with friends and family.

Accommodation:
Ground Floor:
A convenient porch for coat and boot storage opens into the main hallway, which features an understairs cupboard and a colourful cloakroom/WC. The fabulous kitchen is flooded with light, which radiates around the room. Fitted with an excellent range of cabinetry with plenty of storage and work surfaces, the kitchen benefits from integrated appliances; two ovens, a warming drawer, gas hob and a dishwasher, and there is space for a large fridge/freezer. Under cabinet lighting creates a wonderful atmosphere in the evening and the breakfast bar is a perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of something whilst chatting with the chef. A separate, spacious utility room leads to an internal door into the integral garage.
The dining area can accommodate a large table for at least eight guests and opens into the sunny garden room, which also makes the perfect snug in winter. This room boasts full-height windows offering views of the gorgeous garden with double doors leading outside, and a circular Morso wood burner. This entire area is ideal for family life or entertaining, whether it's doing homework at the dining table whilst dinner is being prepared or curling up with a book in the garden room. Situated off the dining room, there is a study, currently set up as a fourth bedroom, which is perfect for working from home.
The dual-aspect, elegantly appointed sitting room features a real wood fire and provides a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the hub of the home in the kitchen.
First Floor:
The bedrooms and bathrooms radiate off a large open stairwell and landing, which includes hatch access to loft storage. The attractive principal bedroom features a spacious en-suite with a bath, a separate walk-in shower, a built-in storage cupboard, and a door leading to a large eaves storage space. Two additional charming double bedrooms also have built-in wardrobes.
The landing and the guest bedroom to the north side of the house overlook a stunning open field, currently in barley.
A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
External:
Situated off a quiet country road yet just moments from the village centre, Foxwood features a private drive with ample parking for several vehicles. The property includes a double integral garage with power and lighting, currently used as a large workshop, and a double-sided log store.
Panoramic south-facing gardens showcase a well-manicured lawn, vibrant flower borders and a large raised stone bed, interspersed with gravel paths and tranquil spots to sit and relax, listening to birdsong and the sounds of the countryside. A patio provides the ideal spot for a table and chairs for outdoor dining, while a ‘sitooterie’ - a Scottish term for a small seating area in the garden - overlooks the barley field to the north.
Area:
The bustling towns of Morpeth and Ponteland, both located approximately six miles away, offer an extensive range of facilities, including a wealth of restaurants, bars, cafes, leisure facilities, including Morpeth Golf Club, independent shops, various supermarkets, and some of the finest schools in the region.

Transport links are excellent, with convenient access to the A1, superb bus links, and rail travel to Newcastle, Edinburgh, London and beyond via Morpeth’s mainline station.
