The Property

Bywood is an impressive and substantial stone-built house, constructed in 2013 and offering versatile accommodation for modern day living. The property is located on the south-western edge of Riding Mill and enjoys a private location, further enhanced by the mature trees on the southern eastern boundaries. Internally, there is a blend of high quality fittings, including oak doors, deep skirtings, and timber-framed windows, all adding to the stunning presentation of Bywood. The décor is contemporary and stylish throughout with bright and inviting living spaces.

The front door opens to the light and spacious entrance hall, with access to the ground floor accommodation. To the front of the property is a study with fitted cupboards and the dining room, as well as a downstairs WC. The south-facing drawing room is accessed via double doors from the entrance hall and offers a feature limestone fire surround with open fireplace, as well as double doors out to the garden. The breakfasting kitchen is ideally suited to modern day living. Double doors from the hall lead into a good-sized family room which can be used as dining or living space, and in turn leads through to the naturally light breakfast kitchen. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke Alexander Carrick units and central island, including a dual fuel Falcon range cooker, integral dishwasher and wine cooler, Villeroy & Boch ceramic inset sink and space for a free-standing American style fridge freezer. Double doors from the kitchen lead out to the garden. There is a useful larder cupboard off the kitchen, as well as access to the utility room, which is plumbed for a washing machine and has space for a tumble dryer. The utility room has external access and a door through to the integral garage.

A solid oak staircase leads from the entrance hall to the galleried landing with full height staircase window, allowing access to the first floor accommodation. The impressive principal suite is situated to the rear of the property and offers a dressing area and en-suite bathroom with inset bath, shower, twin wash-hand basins and WC. The guest suite has a dressing area and an en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and a substantial family bathroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a freestanding bath, shower, twin wash-hand basins and WC.

Externally

To the front of the property is a private driveway with ample space for parking and access to the double garage. There is an area, adjacent to the parking area, which is laid to lawn. The rear of the property can be accessed from both sides of the property.

The rear gardens have been thoughtfully laid out and provide a fabulous space to enjoy. A flagged patio terrace wraps around the house with ample space for dining and entertaining.

The main focus of the rear garden is the outdoor entertaining area, complete with undercover dining area. A stone-built island with flagstone worktop is located in the centre of the space, with a gas barbeque, pizza oven, sink and fridge all built into the units around the edge. The space provides the opportunity to enjoy the garden in all weathers.
