4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Elizabeth Humphreys Homes are delighted to welcome to the market this attractive 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom semi-detached property located in the Northumberland village of Longhoughton. Linked to the adjoining property by a covered area leading to parking and a garage behind, this stylish family home benefits from enclosed front and rear gardens, block-paved driveway parking, good broadband, uPVC windows and doors, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections.

The front garden, half paved and half lawned, takes advantage of pleasant views over an open green area at the front of the property. This garden is the perfect place in which to sit and relax during the warm summer months, whilst electricity is provided via a double outdoor socket.

Entry to this family-friendly home is via the front door, which opens into an internal hallway with stairs leading to the first floor and various doors leading off. There is a sizeable shoe cupboard by the front door, in addition to a cupboard beneath the stairs which offers further storage options. The hallway is furnished with Karndean flooring which adds a classic and hardwearing finish to the space.

The first main door opens into a glorious lounge which has an attractive bay window overlooking the front of the property. The Karndean flooring continues here, and the designer-look fireplace, fitted with an electric fire with steam effect flames, forms an exquisite focal point. This shapely room, fitted with quality coving, is a wonderfully light and bright space in which to spend time with family and friends.

The kitchen-diner is lovely, and its offset design adds to the appeal. Although it's actually one large space, the orientation is such that the separate spaces are well defined. Furnished predominantly with Karndean flooring, the open plan kitchen-diner flows further into a superb garden room, which is a recent extension. With windows all the way round and a glass roof which helps control the temperature within, this room is a fantastic additional space, with a door which opens to the beautiful rear garden. The kitchen, with tiled flooring, offers plenty of wall and base units with a wood-effect door, which all work in harmony with the granite-effect work surface and neutral splashback tiling, the latter incorporating a delicate mosaic. The kitchen equipment comprises a four-burner gas hob beneath a built-in extractor fan, an under bench electric oven, a bowl and a half stainless steel sink, a full-sized fully integrated dishwasher, and a fully integrated fridge-freezer. The gas boiler is housed in a cupboard in the corner for ease of access.

The utility room is adjacent and offers plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer, as well as further wall units for storage.

The ground floor WC is located next to the utility room and is furnished with the same floor tiles as those in both the kitchen and the utility room, forming a seamless transition between the different spaces. The suite comprises a wall-hung hand basin, with matching tiling to that of the kitchen splashback, and a close-coupled toilet with a push button.

Taking the light and spacious stairs to the first floor, the landing, with a Velux allowing for plenty of natural light, opens out to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder which facilitates the pressurized hot water system.

The first bedroom on this floor is a good-sized double overlooking the front of the property. The room has storage courtesy of two mirrored sliding door wardrobe, and also benefits from an ensuite which is fitted-out with a pedestal wash hand basin with a neutral splashback tile, a close-coupled white toilet with a push button, and a double sized shower cubicle with a single shower head within. The space is finished with grey vinyl-type flooring, a white heated towel rail, and ceiling spotlights.

Bedroom 2 is another double room with a window overlooking the rear. This room is neutrally decorated allowing the easy addition of accent colour.

Bedroom 3 is a further spacious double overlooking the rear. All the bedrooms are large enough to accommodate additional bedroom furniture such as a chest of drawers or another wardrobe.

The family bathroom, which is fully tiled to the floor and partially tiled to the walls, comprises a large white bath with Victorian-style chrome shower taps, a pedestal wash hand basin, a close-coupled toilet with a push button and a radiator. Ceiling spotlights provide artificial light.

Taking the stairs to the top floor, the landing, with loft access above, opens to a wonderful suite of rooms comprising a bedroom, a dressing room and an ensuite. Slightly removed from the hub of the home, this area is a peaceful haven in which to escape and relax. Depending on your requirements, it could be the primary bedroom, a guest suite or a play area. The shaped ceiling with dormer window adds a tremendous amount of character to the large double bedroom, which also incorporates a sizeable dressing room with a Velux window allowing for natural light, and a large sliding mirrored wardrobe. The designer-looking ensuite, also with a shaped ceiling and a Velux window, is a good-sized room, and is equipped with a pedestal wash hand basin with a white splashback tile, a close-coupled toilet with a push button, and a double sized shower cubicle with a slimline shower tray behind a sliding door. The area inside the cubicle is wet walled and there is a waterfall shower head and a separate shower head within. The space has been finished with chocolate-coloured floor tiles and ceiling spotlights. The elevated views over the village are lovely and add to the sense of calm and peace emanating from this top floor.

Externally, the rear garden is a unique and private space. Framed by a brick wall and fencing, the sense of privacy is immediately evident. The low maintenance design incorporates stone paving slabs combined with a raised artificial lawn area which is accessed via a couple of steps. A double outdoor socket is also provided. A gate leads out to the garage at the rear, which also offers further parking and is equipped with electricity and lighting. The garden room enters this glorious outside space and is ideal for allowing the views to be enjoyed throughout every season; you can relax comfortably inside allowing the weather to do as it pleases outside!
