Offering spacious, characterful accommodation throughout, the property provides an ideal family home and is sure to appeal to buyers seeking an attractive residence in the highly desirable semi-rural setting of Hamsterley Mill.

The property features an impressive curved oak-framed orangery, added in 2012, with a lantern skylight and tiled flooring, providing a bright and welcoming entrance that leads seamlessly into the kitchen. The open-plan kitchen and dining room is fitted with Belfast sink and a range of wall and base units, complemented by a central island and a selection of integrated appliances including a wine fridge, microwave, coffee machine, induction hob, oven, washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher, with space for a fridge freezer.

Double doors from the dining area lead into the living room, which benefits from oak flooring, two windows, a multi-fuel burner, and French doors opening to the garden.

Off the hallway, from the living room, is the second bedroom - currently used as a spacious dressing room - and the adjacent master bedroom, which has three windows and a fully tiled en-suite shower room with his-and-hers basins. The third bedroom is located on the opposite side of the property and features ample fitted shelving. The family bathroom fitted with underfloor heating, includes a bath set on a raised step and built-in storage housing the hot water tank. There is also internal access to a triple garage with electric roller doors, providing generous storage space and housing the boiler.

To the first floor are two further bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite shower rooms and additional storage within the eaves, with a second boiler also located on this level.

Externally, the property is approached via double gates onto a large driveway leading to the triple garage, with a log store conveniently positioned to the side of the garage. From the drive, steps leading up to the entrance into the orangery. There are extensive, beautifully maintained, enclosed wrap-around gardens, offering complete privacy. The garden features two additional access gates, a variety of mature trees and shrubs, a patio area, a sizable summer house, a pond, a decking area, and a canopy – providing an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.
