The front door to this property is approached through a pleasant and mature front garden, leading to a useful covered porch area. A gated rear path leads through a natural stone paved rear garden to the more often used rear door. Entry via the rear door is into the kitchen which is superbly light and bright and which captures wonderful, elevated views over the surrounding hills and countryside. There are a good number of wall and base units with a white door complemented by a laminate work surface and a tiled splashback behind. Alongside space for a free-standing cooker with a gas hob, there is also space for under bench freezer, a free-standing fridge, an under-bench dishwasher and a washing machine. The kitchen is also equipped with an extractor fan above the freestanding cooker, and a bowl and a half plastic sink in front of the window that overlooks the secluded paved area by the rear door.

The kitchen flows freely into a large dining-sitting space where there is ample room to accommodate a dining table and accompanying chairs in addition to an armchair on which you can relax and enjoy the warmth radiating from the attractive fireplace housing a wood burner.

Stairs ascend to the first floor and the hallway turns to provide convenient access to the lounge, a further double bedroom or a second large reception room, another ground floor bedroom and the ground floor bathroom. The front door of the property, also accessed from this hallway, opens to a covered porch area which is an ideal space to store boots and such like having returned from exploring the stunning countryside or from a walk with a furry friend.

With a breathtaking panoramic vista which can be appreciated from an appealing corner window and a fascinating porthole window, the lounge is a wonderfully relaxing room which is suffused in natural light. With views of Cragside Estate to one side and the undulating hills to the other, this room is one in which you can enjoy spending time relaxing with family and friends. The fireplace, with a stone hearth and housing a wood burner, is a charming feature and entices you to sit before it during the cooler months, and the art deco mantlepiece adds further character to this inviting room.

Beautifully light and bright, courtesy of a large window overlooking the rear garden, the back room could have many uses from various reception rooms to bedroom three, an office space or a snug depending on your requirements.

The ground floor bedroom is a good-sized double with a quaint corner chimney with an art deco surround forming an exquisite focal point, in addition to an original window overlooking the porched area towards the front of the property.

The bathroom is fully tiled and comprises a double shower cubicle with an electric shower behind a glass screen, a winged sink on top of a vanity unit and a handle operated toilet. A large window with privacy glass allows for plenty of natural light.

Taking the stairs to the first floor, the landing, which could accommodate an office space or reading area, opens to a spacious bedroom with ensuite facilities and a door to an area over the stairs that could easily be converted into a walk-in dressing space.
