FENWOOD“The property dates back to 1878 and has many of the distinctive Victorian features you would expect to find in a home built during this era. During the last 20 years we have made the house our own, taking great care as its custodians’ to retain many of the stunning period characteristics including original fireplaces, ornate ceiling coving and plasterwork.”

A highly impressive and desirable, six bedroom semi detached residence situated on Fellside Road in Whickham. The property is believed to have been constructed circa 1878 and delivers superb and spacious living accommodation which lends itself perfectly to family living. This home has been sympathetically restored with great care taken to retain much of its original charm and character. Occupying a generous plot, the property is conveniently placed for access to the nearby schools, transport links, shopping facilities and restaurants Whickham has to offer. Benefits include double glazing, gas central heating, a garage and ample additional off street parking. The living space spans three floors and boasts a host of fabulous features including high ceilings with coving, ceiling roses and stunning fireplaces.

The accommodation is entered through an entrance lobby with a stained glass door providing access to the reception hall. The hall is a lovely entry to the home and features a striking staircase and ornate corbels. The formal lounge boasts a bay window and a beautiful fireplace with open fire. The second reception room is a unique and imaginative room, with the focal point being a multi fuel stove inset to the chimney breast with surround, timber mantel and brick hearth. The kitchen incorporates a breakfasting area, shown to accommodate a table and chairs, and a range style cooker is set within the chimney breast. The ground floor is supported by a utility room and guest wc.

Seller Insight“Fenwood” has been our family home for just over 20 years and was the ideal location to raise our three children who

were all lucky enough to have their own bedrooms with rooms to spare and a large rear garden to safely play in. The excellent local schools are literally only a few minutes’ walk away as are the local amenities Whickham village offers.

Often feeling like a labour of love, we have sympathetically restored the house but always with an eye to retaining and enhancing its original features which include four Victorian fire places, cast iron slipper bath, the covings and staircases in addition to the multi fuel stove in the dining room. The framed and displayed original deeds give an insight into the interesting history of the house too.

Our home is especially warming at Christmas with the crackling real fire in the living room which easily lends itself to a 10ft tree. Santa Claus has a choice of more than six chimneys so placing the ginger wine and the carrot for Rudolph has to be planned ! .The rear garden is the ideal area to entertain friends and family on special occasions with ample room for marquees, tents and even bouncy castles.

Having been at sea, I was given carte blanche in the dining room, decorating and furnishing it with a nautical theme featuring an original clinker built fishing boat acting as a book case, a bespoke hand painted ceiling with an angelic cherub and original wooden shutters.

The rear garden offers tranquillity and a lovely place to chill. There is parking and turning for three cars at the front of the house with space for at least two more vehicles behind the driveway gates. The large garage is also ideal for further vehicle storage or man shed activities.

If we were asked to summarise our home in only three words – it really would be impossible, but the terms warm, spacious and inviting would jump to mind first.







To the first floor there is a good sized landing connecting to four of the bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom has a fireplace and built in wardrobes, and bedrooms two and three also feature fireplaces.


The family bathroom is impressive and incorporates a freestanding bath with ball and claw feet and a walk in shower unit with rainfall shower. Other highlights of this room include a stripped panel door with stained glass detailing and a traditional style radiator with towel rail.


Stairs continue from the first floor to the second floor landing with access to two additional bedrooms.
