See Inside this Grade II-Listed Family Home which was Part-Built in the 17th Century

This superb residential property is positioned within the village of Whickham and is only a stone’s throw from Front Street, offering direct access to the shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities, local schooling and excellent transport links offering easy access into Newcastle City Centre and beyond. Whickham Park House features a stone entrance with wrought iron railings and secure gates that lead to a large front garden that is now laid out as a driveway and circular gravelled turning/parking area.

This period property is renowned for once being owned by a Mr Charles Attwood who purchased the property around 1825 and was regarded as a prosperous reformist and ironmaster who formed the Weardale Iron & Coal Company in 1844. The property was purchased by the current family in the late 1980s, has been sympathetically restored over the past 35 years, and now offers the rare opportunity to purchase one of the original period family homes in Whickham.

Boasting over 4,000 sq ft of internal living space, the accommodation includes a lobby, guest cloakroom and WC with doors to the reception hall. The impressive reception hallway measures 47ft in length, with original stained-glass picture window, two original fireplaces, sweeping staircase leading to the first floor and doors leading to a silver cupboard and the cellar. The reception hall then leads though to an orangery/garden room with travertine stone flooring and doors leading out to the gardens and back through to the drawing room.
