An Exceptional Six Bedroom Contemporary Home in a Peaceful Rural Setting, Commanding Panoramic Views of the Cheviot Hills.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Acorn Lodge is an exceptional contemporary home set in a private and peaceful rural location, commanding uninterrupted southerly views across the rolling countryside towards the Cheviot Hills. Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers over 415 Sq m of light-filled, flexible accommodation, ideal for modern family living, entertaining, and working from home. The house sits within generous and well-maintained garden grounds and benefits from a detached garage, summer house, driveway, all just a short drive from Berwick-upon-Tweed and the East Coast Main Line.
You are welcomed into a striking reception hall that sets the tone for the rest of the property, flowing effortlessly into the main living areas. The elegant main lounge enjoys open views and direct access to the south-facing terrace via bi-fold doors, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. In addition to the formal lounge is a cosy family sitting room with a Morso wood burning stove off the reception hallway. At the heart of the home lies a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed with both form and function in mind. It boasts contemporary cabinetry, a fan oven, built-in microwave, integrated fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher, a hot water tap, Franke sink, ambient lighting to units and shelving, and plentiful storage. This versatile space caters equally to casual family meals and sophisticated entertaining.
Elsewhere on the ground floor, a spacious and well-equipped second kitchen adds valuable functionality to the home. Designed with practicality in mind, it features a fan oven, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, space for a washing machine, generous worktop areas for food preparation, and ample room for informal dining. This thoughtfully designed space is ideal for managing the more practical aspects of entertaining, allowing the main kitchen to remain a pristine focal point for guests. This versatile area of the home also includes a sixth downstairs bedroom, a modern shower room, and a dedicated home office—offering a quiet, focused environment, ideal for remote working. Thoughtfully self-contained, this wing of the house provides excellent potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or as an income-generating annexe.
An architectural designed floating oak, stainless steel and glass staircase leads to the first floor, where the principal bedroom suite enjoys panoramic views to the south, along with a stylish en-suite, a run of modern fitted wardrobes and spacious dressing room. Four further double bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom, an additional wet room, and a heated airing room, ideal for busy family life. Every room is thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the property’s peaceful surroundings, with views across the garden and countryside beyond.
Garden & Grounds
Set within beautifully landscaped gardens, Acorn Lodge offers a wonderful sense of privacy and space. The driveway curves to a gravelled parking area at the side of the house. The south-facing garden is laid mainly to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and planting, and features a raised timber deck, perfect for al fresco dining and taking in the far-reaching views. A large timber summer house, currently set up for outdoor dining and barbecuing, provides an additional entertaining space as well as a quiet retreat, while a garden shed offers further storage.
