The Property
Briarsdale is a striking detached stone-built house in an exclusive development with generous gardens and countryside views. Internally, the property offers modern and flexible accommodation with immaculate presentation, tasteful décor and quality fixtures and fittings. Built in 1997 and one of just nine properties in the private development of Wooley Grange, Briarsdale offers an idyllic, tranquil, rural setting whilst simultaneously providing convenient access to both Hexham and Corbridge, as well as Newcastle and beyond.

The entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway featuring a staircase with attractive wood bannisters and balustrades leading up to the first floor, and the reception rooms and downstairs WC radiating off it. The sitting room is elegant and sunny with dual aspect and a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace with wood lintel adds a warm, homely feeling. A study, which could also be utilised as a play room or home gym, for example, sits to the rear of the hall with the stunning kitchen/dining room beside it. The kitchen/dining room is a wonderful family and entertaining space. There is ample space in this room for comfortable seating in addition to dining table and chairs, and a bespoke window seat area. The kitchen itself is beautifully fitted with an excellent range of wall and floor units, promontory bench and quartz worktops in a light, neutral colour palette, a range cooker and hob, and integrated appliances including larder fridge, larder freezer, dishwasher, integrated bin and wine cooler. Leading from the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room with further storage and laundry facilities, and doors into the garden and the integral garage.

The first floor offers five immaculately presented bedrooms including the principal bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room and a guest bedroom with en-suite WC and wash handbasin. The three further bedrooms are also good sized and served by the well-appointed family bathroom with modern freestanding bath and separate shower.

Externally
The approach to Briarsdale is via a wide paved driveway with parking for several vehicles leading to the integral garage and a neat lawn sits to one side. A large patio spans the width of the house to the rear with steps down to the extensive lawn and in the corner, a further patio with a gazebo provides the perfect place to sit and relax or entertain under cover. The rear garden is surrounded by mature shrubs and trees, affording a very private and secluded setting.
