5 bedroom detached house for sale

Tucked Away In A Quiet Corner Of This Sought-After Estate, This Stylish Home Will Be Perfect For Families With Young Children. It’s got plenty of space, has a large south facing back garden that’s not overlooked and is right next to the playpark. 

Since being built by Bellway in the late 1990’s, the luxury detached homes on the Stobhill Manor estate have become very popular with families.

It’s easy to see why. The estate is right on the edge of the countryside (there’s stunning views of open fields from the three back bedrooms) but is still only a short drive from the centre of Morpeth.

It’s also handy for the A1, with an “Outstanding” first school less than a 5 minute drive away.

And 42 Norham Drive might occupy one of the best spots on the entire estate. It’s tucked away at the end of a small two house cul-de-sac, so there’s no passing traffic and you’d struggle to even notice it was there.

That’s sure to be important if you have young children or pets - as you won’t need to worry about them running out onto a busy road.

But it also just gives the house (and the back garden in particular) a much more peaceful and rural feeling than if you were living in the centre of this popular estate.

There’s space to park several cars on the block paved drive and in front of the built-in double garage.

And when you step inside the sleek and stylish hallway your eyes will be drawn to the kitchen / diner at the rear.

This is sure to be the social hub of the home, with space for a dining table as well as a breakfast bar - perfect for grabbing a quick bite or catching up after a busy day.

The kitchen is stylish and well equipped, with grey shaker-style fitted units and an integrated oven and hob. There’s a handy utility room for your washing machine and tumble drier, as well as providing additional storage space.

If everyone makes a beeline for the kitchen, the lounge can be a more peaceful place to relax. It’s a light and bright room, with patio doors leading out to a decking seating area.

Upstairs has five bedrooms and the luxurious family bathroom.

All of the bedrooms are a decent size but the master bedroom is worthy of note because of the stylish ensuite. The bedroom above the double garage is also worth a mention as it's certainly the biggest of the five.

The property sits on a corner plot, giving you lots of outside space, with the large wraparound gardens meaning you can enjoy the sun throughout the day.

There's a decking seating area for the grown ups and the large lawn is the perfect size for kids to play on. There’s also a playpark just round the corner (you can see it behind the back fence).

It takes less than 10 minutes to drive to the centre of Morpeth and half that time to get to the station. That makes commuting to Newcastle a practical option as the journey time to Newcastle Central Station is less than 20 minutes. 

Morpeth has a good choice of shops, restaurants and pubs along with a leisure centre and swimming pool.

For a wider selection of shops and places to eat, it’s only a 25 minute drive to the centre of Newcastle or the Gateshead Metrocentre.

Morpeth Stobhillgate First School is rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted and is less than a 5 minute drive away. The King Edward VI Academy (for older kids) is on the other side of town but as this is another “Outstanding” school the longer journey time will be worth it.

This immaculate family home might just occupy the best location on this sought after estate - you certainly won’t find a quieter or safer spot to bring up a young family.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning families, so call to arrange a viewing.
