The Property
The Maltings is a high specification barn conversion forming part of an exclusive development surrounded by glorious Northumberland countryside, yet within easy reach of all local and regional centres. The attractive and appealing stone-built property provides a peaceful semi-rural escape with elegant contemporary interior design and beautifully light and airy living spaces. Fabulous views stretch across the unspoiled landscape to the distant horizon and the property benefits from lovely gardens along with a separate paddock of around 0.5 acres that provides impressive additional garden and outdoor space.
The spacious reception rooms offer flexible modern living with stylish and tasteful décor. The sitting room is filled with natural light from a dual aspect including full height glazing that makes wonderful use of the original arched barn entrances. On the opposite side, sliding doors lead out to the elevated decked seating and entertaining area. Attractive oak flooring flows through to the dining room which sits centrally within The Maltings, linked to the sitting room, the kitchen/breakfast room and the garden room by three sets of double doors with glazed panels. There is also access to the integral double garage. The garden room complements the main reception rooms and offers a quiet escape with a vaulted ceiling, perfect to spend time with a good book or simply to relax in peace. An adjoining cloakroom/laundry offers space for white goods along with a useful ground floor WC and wash hand basin.
The kitchen/breakfast room is superbly appointed, with a fine range of bespoke cabinetry housing high quality integrated appliances. Sleek, neutral colour palettes are highlighted by subtle lighting. The central island provides further storage and a casual dining spot with café-style lighting above. There is also plenty of space for comfortable seating. Bi-fold doors to the elevated deck create indoor-outdoor living and dining space.
A spindled staircase rises from the dining room to the first floor and all of the bedroom accommodation. All of the bedrooms are doubles and all are finished to an exceptional standard. The principal suite incorporates a large bedroom with a fully tiled en-suite shower room. The bedroom has a dual aspect and an abundance of fitted wardrobes, whilst the shower suite comprises shower, wash hand basin and WC. The fixtures and fittings reflect the high specification found throughout The Maltings. There are three further bedrooms, all with fitted storage; one is currently configured as a home office/snug, demonstrating the versatility of the accommodation. These bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with elegant tiling wrapping around a suite of P-shaped bath with shower over, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.
Externally
The Maltings benefits from excellent outdoor space including well-maintained gardens, outdoor seating and entertaining areas and a separate paddock that extends to around 0.5 acres. The property is approached onto a gravelled driveway leading to the integral double garage. There is plenty of further parking space on the driveway, along with a separate external store offering practical space for outdoor equipment. Stone wall boundaries encircle open lawn with neat hedging and colourful plantings, and a useful shed is tucked to one side.
A flagged patio is accessed from the dining room and sitting room provides space for outdoor furniture, with a further patio area outside the garden room. On the opposite side of the property, steps from the garden lead up to the elevated decked entertaining area within a sheltering courtyard that wraps around three sides. This area is accessed from both the kitchen and the sitting room and is an amazing area for barbecues and al fresco dining with family and friends. Panoramic views draw the eye over unspoiled countryside.
In addition to the garden, there is also a separate paddock extending to around 0.5 acres. The paddock is well-maintained with boundaries of fencing and hedging. The paddock is a great area for children to play and to enjoy the countryside surroundings.
