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.
The heavy insulated composite front door opens into an internal porch area with plenty of space for coats and shoes. The lovely washed-wood-effect porcelain tiles that are underfoot throughout the home start here. A window to the side provides natural light and a pair of French doors open into the main hallway. Even from this point in the home by the front door there are views right through the house to the breathtaking southerly views of the stunning open countryside beyond.
The main living space opens up along the hallway, which has down lights to the ceiling and wall-lights for a minimalistic and Scandinavian feel. The house is split level, so there is a short flight of four steps that lead down to the lower level sitting room/kitchen area. A glass balustrade guarantees views out of the rear of the home with every step. A fully vaulted ceiling sits above the sitting and dining-kitchen areas of the home and features downlights for artificial light, but natural light comes via stunning roof lights, huge glass sliding doors leading outside and providing stunning panoramic southerly views. The combination of light, space and views is a heady combination.
Before this main part of the home there's a WC, set up with clever low level lights come on via a movement sensor, and featuring a chrome heated towel rail, a concealed cistern wall-hung toilet with pushbutton, a wall-hung vanity unit with a lovely tap on a white sink and set off by a very pretty splashback tile.
Moving down the steps, the sitting area has seats in front of those huge triple glazed sliding doors to take in the wonderful southerly view. The sliding doors out onto the rear patio are on the same level as the sitting area floor, connecting the house to its surroundings.
The sitting area opens into the kitchen/entertainment space. At the heart of the room is a stunning German kitchen, created from a mixture of wood-effect areas, grey-blue unit doors, a copper vertical strip, and a lovely marble-effect work surface. The raised wood-effect area delineates the breakfast bar. The quality kitchen equipment comprises an AEG induction hob with a central down draft extractor fan, a fully-integrated AEG dishwasher, an AEG electric steam oven with an AEG combination microwave oven above, a bank of pullout larder cupboards, a bowl-and-a-half ceramic sink set into the worksurface, a large amount of high-level storage plus a large number of drawer packs of different sizes, whilst there is also space for an American-style fridge freezer. Two triple glazed windows provide fabulous views to rear, Veluxes in vaulted ceiling so very light room.
The utility room has a triple-glazed door leading outside to the side of the home. Equipment in the utility room is a single bowl stainless-steel sink, plumbing and space for a washing machine, and further storage units. The utility room also houses a cupboard containing all the electronic equipment required for maintaining the home, including the solar array Tesla battery and Tesla inverter.
At the other end of the house from the kitchen a door opens into the restful lounge area. This room does not have a vaulted ceiling but it still has a very high ceiling for a modern house, adding to the sense of space. Again, lighting is by way of down lights to the ceiling and softer wall-lights. An electric feature fireplace is wall-mounted and provides a focal point to the room, whilst two windows overlooking rear of home entice with views over the south facing open countryside.
Moving back up the four stairs leads to three bedrooms, one with ensuite, and the family bathroom.
The main bedroom is situated back up the hallway towards the front door and to the left, providing a space that is separated from the other bedrooms by the hallway. The bedroom is a really well-sized double and is lit via down lights to the ceiling, whilst natural light and ventilation comes through a window to the front of the house and a Velux in the ceiling. All the Velux windows fitted at Orchard House have powered blinds and are triple glazed. Fitted wardrobes.
The ensuite is a fabulous and substantial bathroom, with white-washed wood-effect wet walling throughout. The quality fittings in this sumptuous room are a double-sized slimline shower tray with a walk-behind shower screen and both waterfall and separate showerheads, a chrome heated towel rail, grey high-gloss storage units, a wall-hung vanity unit with a sink on top, a wall-hung concealed cistern toilet with pushbutton, and a wall-hung bidet. The room is finished with a large fitted mirror, a set of sensor operated low-level lights, a Velux window above, ceiling down lights, and a window to the front of the home for natural light.
The second bedroom is a spacious double bedroom with a window overlooking the front of the home and a Velux window in the ceiling. Artificial light is via down lights in the ceiling, and the same porcelain tiling echoes the rest of the house. A fitted wardrobe provides storage space. Bedroom three is a good-sized double and offers the same facilities as bedroom two.
The family bathroom is clad with the same washed-wood-effect wet walling as provided in the ensuite, and comprises a large double-ended freestanding white bath with wall mono taps, fitted mirrors to both sides of the bathroom, a grey vanity unit with sink on top and a designer-style tap, a quadrant shower cubicle with single showerhead, an electric shaver point, and a chrome heated towel rail. As well as more of the sensor actuated lights at low level, natural light comes from a window to the side and artificial light is via down lights to ceiling.
The garden is generally low maintenance, and the whole space is completely enclosed and safe for children and pets. The back garden is partially artificial grass and partially patio. The rear garden is a low maintenance oasis with stunning views of south facing countryside beyond give the impression of so much more space. At the front of the home, which is accessed through a gate, there is a lovely productive vegetable area with raised beds to grow a variety of veg plus established cottage-style planting in the borders. The gravelled drive provides plenty of driveway parking, whilst covered parking is available via a twin wooden carport that would become a garage with the addition of garage doors.
