House For Sale £800,000
Georgian period lodge house combining historic charm with modern living. RE/MAX Northumberland are delighted to welcome to the market this fascinating stone-built original lodge house located in the Northumberland village of Swarland. This family home boasts considerable wrap-around gardens, a beautifully arched portico, two extensions, original wooden front door, double glazed aluminium windows, plenty of driveway parking, LPG gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. In addition, the ground floor benefits from wet underfloor heating. This incredibly attractive, sociable and comfortable family home is situated in a prestigious area making it one of the most sought-after properties in the locality.
Swarland is an idyllic village which boasts its own Primary School, 'Nelsons' coffee shop, children's play area, tennis courts, a village golf course and club house, equestrian facilities, a village hall and stunning views of the coast and countryside and walks into the countryside minutes from your front door. A two-minute drive from the A1, this village is perfectly located for easy access north into Scotland and south to Newcastle and beyond.
Entry is via the impressive stable door, with original doorbell still intact, into a stunning entrance hall with stripped wood floorboards, stairs leading to the first floor, a large cloaks cupboard offering excellent storage potential and two main doors leading off.
The 'L' shaped living-kitchen-dining room is wonderful and forms one of the modern extensions to the home. Several windows, with stone mullions, allow a tremendous amount of natural light to enter. The kitchen and sizeable dining area has been furnished with beautiful large floor tiles creating a sleek and stylish look. The garden room extension, with windows to every side, has a lovely inglenook fireplace with a wood burner within. Natural light is enhanced by ceiling spotlights, a central light fitting and bench lighting. A pair of French doors open onto a paved area to the side of the property. The dining area comfortably accommodates a dining table and accompanying chairs, and the inglenook fireplace has been creatively transformed into a superb wine store. The kitchen offers a good number of two-toned wall and base units and a large centre island with a breakfast bar, storage, and a wine cooler. The Corian work surface works in perfect harmony with the matching upstand and brick splashback tiling. In addition, there is a BOSCH combination microwave and a warming drawer, a full height integrated fridge, a full-sized integrated dishwasher, a twin Belfast sink and an Esse AGA-type range cooker with spotlights above. There are further storage units including a pantry area where there is additional shelving and space for a further appliance, all secluded behind sliding doors which sit on industrial runners, creating a lovely rustic look. The utility room, which offers matching work surfaces, units, flooring and splashback tiling to that of the kitchen, houses the LPG boiler and a single bowl stainless steel sink. A window allows for natural light. The downstairs WC leads from the utility and the suite comprises a wall-hung WC with a pushbutton above, a half pedestal wall-hung hand basin, a cupboard offering good storage and a window overlooking the garden.
The second reception room is a glorious room with two large windows, again with stone mullions, allowing plenty of natural light to enter. Currently used as an office-snug, there is an inglenook fireplace with an attractive surround containing a wood burner upon a stone hearth. There are built-in cupboards and shelving providing useful storage.
Taking the stairs to the first floor, the distinctive landing opens to 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
The primary bedroom is accessed via three steps and is a beautiful characterful room with stripped wood floorboards, stunning windows, and a shaped ceiling. The ensuite, with attractive floor tiles in keeping with the property, comprises a double-ended free-standing white bath with a free-standing tap, a close-coupled WC with a pushbutton, a walk-behind shower screen with a slimline shower tray with a waterfall showerhead and a separate showerhead within, a pedestal wash hand basin and a Victorian-style heated towel rail. The semi-vaulted ceiling continues here, and a green and leafy vista can be enjoyed from the windows.
Bedroom 2 is another good-sized double with stripped wood floorboards. The two southerly facing windows afford wonderful views and allow an abundance of natural light to enter. The ensuite comprises a shower with wood-effect tiling behind a shower curtain, a close-coupled WC with a pushbutton, a pedestal wash hand basin, a fitted mirror and a Victorian-style chrome heated towel rail.
Bedroom 3 is entered via three steps and is a further double bedroom with three windows to the side, a coombed ceiling and a fitted cupboard - a unique and wonderful room.
Bedroom 4 overlooks the side of the property, has loft access and is another good-sized double.
The family bathroom is light and bright with further lighting by way of spotlights to the ceiling. The suite comprises a double-ended bath with a free-standing tap, a pedestal wash hand basin, a close-coupled WC with a pushbutton and a slimline shower tray with a glass walk-behind shower screen with a waterfall showerhead and a separate showerhead within.
Externally, the wrap around gardens are extensive, mainly consisting of lawned areas, mature trees and shrubs. There is a separate garage with electricity and lighting, a door to the side and an attractive arched door to the front. In addition, there is a secluded south-facing patio area adjoining the garden room which is the perfect space for relaxing and enjoying the warm sunshine during the summer months.
