5 bedroom detached house

Holly Lodge was purchased by the current owners in 2016 and since then has been extensively renovated, refurbished, and improved. It occupies one of the best sites within the very favoured and prestigious Gubeon Wood within Tranwell. Gubeon Wood is particularly popular because the houses retain one dwelling per original plot, meaning that the houses are situated within lovely large, mature garden areas and grounds. Holly Lodge is a prime example of this in approx. 2.5 acres, with its electrically operated gated access connecting through to a curved driveway leading up to its entrance and a large three car garage plus. The forecourt is surrounded by beautiful mature trees and the magnificent gardens and grounds have been greatly enhanced by the current owners, where they have invested a significant amount of horticultural expertise to ensure that they look highly impressive throughout the year. The gardens have lovely patios, walkways, and paths, as well as lovely water features and very well stocked flower borders. The space and light that comes through the tall trees is particularly impressive within the lawned gardens which are ideal for families. 

Holly Lodge itself was originally constructed over 30 years ago and is a timber framed property which has been superbly kept and well improved over the years. The current owners have carried out extensive works to the house which include the provision of the bi-folding doors, set into the open plan kitchen/living areas, which have a magnificent open aspect over the gardens at the rear. 

The house benefits from the fitting of new triple glazed windows throughout, which has been an extremely valuable addition contrasting with the beautiful external strutting and panelling, which is modern and very attractive. 

The accommodation to the house includes a lovely entrance leading into a cottage style reception hallway with storage cupboards, a cloakroom and separate wc. The hallway leads to the library and double doors to the drawing room, which has a super fireplace and a lovely aspect overlooking the gardens.

To the opposite side of the house, the entertaining and reception rooms include a formal dining room and family room, which has a see-through open grate fireplace set into a chimney breast in the centre of the room. This is a really impressive reception area with internal wood supports and strutting. The two reception rooms are open through to the kitchen/dining area which is superbly equipped and fitted and overlooks the rear gardens with two sets of bi-folding doors leading onto the external patio and terraces. The kitchen has a range of painted wood cabinets and modern integrated appliances.  The kitchen leads on in turn to a utility and laundry room. 

To the first floor, there are four bedrooms, all good sized rooms with en suites or adjacent to the family bathroom, beautifully equipped and very well finished.

 The house has the further benefit of a detached three car garage which, at the ground floor, has a large reception and games, music, and cinema room, which is very significant in size. To the first floor, the accommodation supports an independent one bedroom apartment with a double bedroom, lovely dormer windows, as well as a shower room and a  large open plan living/dining room with dividing kitchen bar and fitted kitchen area. This garage house is effectively the size of a three bedroom detached property but accommodates a lovely independent one bedroom flat with its excellent ground floor amenities and storage. Externally there is a further detached single brick garage, currently used as a potting shed, with a large bespoke garden room to the rear with underfloor heating.

The gardens and grounds continue to be an outstanding feature of this stunning house and the property is very well located within Gubeon Wood, having good access to the A1 providing road links to Edinburgh to the North and Newcastle to the South. Morpeth is the nearest market town and supports an excellent range of high quality facilities, as well as a railway station for links throughout the UK. 

Holly Lodge is a very impressive property in a beautiful area for which we strongly recommend an early viewing to avoid later disappointment.
