2 Clive House, Appletree Lane, Corbridge Northumberland NE45 5DN SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION Clive House was originally constructed in the 1840s when the property was designed as part of the original schoolhouse to the village of Corbridge. It was used as such until the early 1970s, when it was combined with the former headmaster s house to provide a larger property. Since that time the property has been extended and remodelled to a very impressive standard. This property is deceptively larger than its external appearance and is a highly impressive luxury home in a super spot in the centre of the village of Corbridge. The two storey stone extension is beautifully designed with fabulous windows and French doors, complementing the existing structure. This house has a great deal of style and character, which will only be fully appreciated upon an internal inspection. Its approach is at the rear of the house, where two off-street parking spaces lead to a single garage with electric door. There is a super courtyard and stone flagged patio at the rear of the property with water irrigation system, and a lovely entrance porch leading through to the reception hall. The hall has a cloakroom/wc and good storage space, and leads on to a very elegant dining room and a stunning kitchen/breakfast room, designed and fitted by Mowlem & Company. The kitchen has maple wood cabinets, lovely granite worktops and quality built-in appliances. It has beautiful Amtico flooring and leads to a family room/playroom with double doors onto the gardens. The main reception area includes an open plan sitting room and TV/music area which connects to the principal drawing room. The drawing room, part of the original classroom area, has a double-height roof void, a magnificent fireplace and double doors onto the terrace. The study/office is very well equipped and has a lovely view of the courtyard. The handmade oak staircase is one of a number of high quality oak wood features, including wood flooring to the majority of principal rooms at ground floor level.
