4 bedroom detached house

A beautiful home offering light and bright living. Elizabeth Humphreys Homes are delighted to welcome to the market this substantial 4 bedroom double-fronted detached property located in the Northumberland town of Rothbury. The property, which is beautifully presented, benefits from block-paved driveway parking for 2 cars, a single garage with further parking, fabulous front and rear gardens, uPVC windows with the addition of colonial shutters to the front, a composite front door, super-fast fibre connection for the home workers, gas central heating, and all the other usual mains connections. This sociable and comfortable family home, boasting superb views, is one of the most sought-after properties in the locality.

The attractive market town centre of Rothbury is located within a mile of historic Cragside, 12 miles south west of Alnwick, 16 miles south-west of Alnmouth Station on the Edinburgh to Kings Cross mainline, 16 miles northwest of Morpeth and 31 miles north-northwest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Rothbury, at the heart of Northumberland, is a picturesque town surrounded by the Simonside Hills with excellent amenities including cafes, restaurants, pubs and a whole host of independent retailers. Residents can enjoy rambling, hill walking, tennis, bowling, 5 a side football, fishing in the abundant rivers, golfing, climbing, cycling, horse riding and mountain biking, or explore the vibrant wildlife amidst stunning scenery.

Entry is via a couple of steps up to the composite front door which opens into an internal hallway. Stairs ascend to the first floor, various doors lead off and there is a useful cupboard beneath the stairs offering excellent storage. The Farrow and Ball-type decor impresses as does the dark wood effect LVT flooring which extends through most of the ground floor.

Bathed in natural light entering from an impressive bay window, the lounge is an inviting room. The gas feature fireplace forms an attractive focal point, and the addition of coving enhances the room further.

Opposite, with a matching bay window to that of the lounge, is a superb multi-use room. Currently utilised as a ground floor double bedroom, this light and bright room with coving and impeccable decor is a pleasant and welcoming space which could easily be used as a dining room, second lounge, playroom or a home office if you so wished.

The kitchen-dining room offers plenty of space to sit and dine whilst appreciating the views of the fabulous rear garden and hillside beyond via a pair of French doors and two further windows. There are a good number of wall and base units with a high gloss cream-coloured door complemented by a wood-effect work surface with a matching upstand. In terms of fitted equipment, there is a five-burner gas hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan and stainless-steel splashback, an electric under bench oven, a fully integrated fridge-freezer and a dishwasher and a bowl and a half stainless steel sink. If required, there is space for a butcher’s block-type centre island. The space is finished with the same dark wood effect LVT flooring to that of the hallway which creates a seamless transition between all the different spaces. Artificial lighting is by way of ceiling spotlights in the kitchen and a light fitting above the dining table.

A door opens to the utility room, with decor and units matching the kitchen. There is plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The newly fitted boiler is housed here for ease of access. A door provides external access to the rear garden and a second door leads to the ground floor WC, which is a superb asset as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a close-coupled white toilet with a push button and a wall hung hand wash basin with a mosaic-style splashback tile.

Taking the stairs to the first floor, the landing opens out to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two useful cupboards, one to each side of the central staircase. Boarded loft access is available.

The primary suite is a spacious double room to the front of the property capturing gorgeous countryside views in the distance. There are wooden framed sliding door mirrored wardrobes offering excellent storage and a fitted head board with mirrors forming a beautiful feature wall. The ensuite comprises a double sized shower cubicle with a shower within behind a bi-fold glass shower screen, a pedestal wash hand basin, a close-coupled toilet with a push button, an electric shaver point, an extractor fan and a tall white heated towel rail ensures added comfort. Finished with laminate-type flooring and illuminated by ceiling spotlights and natural light entering from a window to the side, this ensuite is a comfortable space.

Bedroom 2 is another large double with a pleasant aspect to the front. This light and bright room also offers sliding door fitted wardrobes.

Bedroom 3 is a double room taking advantage of views to the rear which can be appreciated as you enjoy a cup of tea and a leisurely morning.

Bedroom 4 is a further double room enjoying the pleasing views to the rear. Another well-presented and restful room.

The family bathroom, with vinyl flooring, comprises a bath with shower taps behind a shower curtain, a close-coupled toilet with a push button, a pedestal wash hand basin and an electric shaver point. The space has been finished with half-height tiling to the walls which extends to full height around the bath and shower area and a window allows for natural light with additional lighting by way of ceiling spotlights.

The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and offers a haven of peace and tranquillity. The space has been securely fenced to allow children and family pets to play safely and enjoy the substantial lawned area. The garden captures the country cottage-style perfectly with the addition of vegetable patches, rose borders and countryside flowers. This is an ideal garden in which to enjoy the sunshine during those warm summer months.
