The Property

Valleyfield is an appealing stone-built detached property on the very edge of a peaceful Northumberland village. The accommodation is very well-presented with light contemporary décor, and the glorious surroundings offer stunning views that sweep over unspoiled countryside to the distant horizon.

The entrance vestibule leads to the hall and onwards to the accommodation. The comfortable sitting room is positioned to the front with a feature fireplace and dual aspect. Stairs lead from the sitting room to the first floor. The central hall leads on to the open plan family room and kitchen. This is a wonderful inviting living space that is ideal for modern requirements. The family room flows through to the kitchen where bespoke fitted units provide a country kitchen atmosphere with high quality contemporary fixtures and fittings. The views are captured by the dual aspect windows. There is direct access to the rear gardens. Adjoining the family room is the dining room with space for more formal entertaining.

A ground floor bedroom sits off the central hall and combines with a beautiful en-suite shower room to provide excellent accessible accommodation. The en-suite is fully tiled with elegant styling and a suite comprising walk-in rainfall shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. There are two further bedrooms located on the first floor. Both are generously sized with fabulous views. These bedrooms are served by the family bathroom and there are also useful storage cupboards from the first floor landing.

Externally

Valleyfield is approached onto a tarmacadam driveway with space for off-road parking which leads to the detached garage. There is gravelled courtyard garden space to the front, with the main garden to the rear. The gardens are thoughtfully created for ease of maintenance, with gravelled paths running between planting beds to a sitting area at the end. The fenced boundaries offer peace and privacy.
