The Property
Ashbourne Villa is an impressive detached property with extensive private gardens, all nestled on a quiet tree-lined road within a sought-after Tyne Valley village. The house has been extended and renovated to a high standard for modern family life, yet incorporates character features including a pretty stained glass window above the front door, an ornate painted fireplace within a carved wood surround and mantlepiece in the dining room and decorated ceiling roses in the sitting and dining rooms. The house offers many spacious rooms that can be arranged to suit individual family living and working needs.

Step over the threshold of Ashbourne Villa into the porch with smart Victorian style tiled flooring and then through the second doorway into the entrance hallway with wooden floor and the staircase up to the first floor. To the left is the sitting room; a very pleasant room with dual aspect windows, a wood burning stove in the fireplace and a recess in the bay window, perfect for a quiet corner or a reading nook. Glazed double doors lead through into the main hallway. To the right of the entrance hall is the dining room, an almost mirror image of the sitting room. Both rooms are light and airy, and offer a variety of uses.

To the rear of the house is an impressive open plan kitchen and family room with two sets of double doors leading out into the garden. This space has ample room for a well-equipped kitchen with large island, a sizeable dining table and a generous seating area. The kitchen has an excellent range of wall and floor units, integrated dishwasher, space for an American style fridge/freezer and a range cooker. An arched window above the sink, looking out over the garden, is a delightful feature that will make washing up more bearable! The utility room beside the kitchen can house a washing machine and tumble dryer and provides further storage with a handy external door. Next to this is a cloakroom and downstairs WC, again, ideal for storage and family life. Just off the family area, a door opens into a room currently used as a study, but that could also be a play room, a hobby room or a home gym.

In the centre of the house is the main hallway, which is more like another reception room. With plenty of seating space and a recessed snug area with roof light above, it is a fantastic space for entertaining or playing and gives the house a grand feeling.

To the first floor, the principal suite to the rear of the house enjoys lush, green views across the gardens and trees through three large windows. The décor is elegant and calming, and the en-suite shower room smart and modern. The dressing room benefits from built-in wardrobes and further fitted storage can be found opposite the en-suite. To the front of the house is a spacious guest bedroom with built-in storage and an en-suite shower room. Two further good sized and beautifully presented bedrooms, both with additional storage, are served by the family bathroom with a luxurious free standing teardrop bath.

Externally
Ashbourne Villa is accessed through double gates and up a long, large paved driveway with parking for several vehicles to the front and side of the house. A good sized lawn with borders and mature trees, and a gravel path lead to the front door and side access to the rear opens onto to a vast expanse of lawn surrounded by mature trees. This amazing rear garden keeps on going and boasts well-established plants, shrubs and bushes, a vegetable bed, a very useful storage shed and a wood store. A graveled terrace and patio offer a lovely space for outdoor entertaining and a summerhouse and deck is located close by for when any shelter is required. The trees and bushes surrounding Ashbourne Villa provide a high degree of privacy and a peaceful setting.

Ashbourne Villa totals 0.58 acres in all.
