A superbly well-presented and comfortable home offering spacious light and bright contemporary living within walking distance of the beach. Elizabeth Humphreys Homes are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous 5 bedroomed home located in the Northumberland village of Hadston. Unique in its design, this beautifully presented and impeccably well cared for property benefits from driveway parking for six cars leading to a double garage, attractive country cottage-style gardens, double glazed wooden windows and a wooden front door, super-fast fibre connection, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. In addition, this home offers a self-contained ground floor suite of rooms which would enable multi-generational living, with independent access from the side of the property: a superb asset. Furthermore, there is a first-floor guest suite which presents additional alternative living options.
Hadston is a peaceful village in the heart of Northumberland with a lovely sense of community. Only 1/2 a mile away and walking distance from this stunning home is the lovely Druridge Bay country park with its seven-mile stretch of sandy beaches and a series of smaller nature reserves, home to resident rare birds. It’s the perfect place to ride, cycle, paddle or surf and you can even launch your own boat on the park’s lake. A short drive north is the vibrant harbour town of Amble, where you will find plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants and other amenities.
Foxgloves and mature planting frames this stunning property beautifully as you approach the steps which lead to the impressive double front door. The door opens into a spacious and beneficial entrance porch offering cloaks and shoe storage. Windows to either side allow in a wealth of natural light, illuminating the lovely Travertine floor tiles that extend throughout most of the ground floor and creating a seamless transition between the different spaces. A subsequent door opens into the main hallway with stairs ascending to the first floor and various doors leading off. The space beneath the stairs offers useful storage.
Open plan and spacious, the kitchen-dining-sitting room is a superb space, appealing to modern living, with bi-fold doors opening into a double height vaulted garden room, which enhances the living area beautifully. The garden room perfectly bridges the gap between house and garden via a series of Velux ceiling windows and high-up triangular windows, substantial wall windows and a further set of bi-fold doors. Within the living room there is a stunning fireplace housing a log burner, set upon a black slate hearth, which forms an exquisite focal point and entices you to sit before it during the cooler months. The space flows freely into the dining room, where the table is illuminated by three pendant light fittings. A window to the front allows for natural light. The kitchen then leads from here.
Four square windows create visual interest and capture vignettes of the rear garden, making a wonderful interior feature, whilst a larger window to the side of the kitchen and two substantial Velux windows in the ceiling also allow natural light to flood the space. The kitchen offers a good number of wall and base units in a stylish mix of cream high gloss doors and blue matt doors complemented by a solid wooden work surface, all illuminated attractively by task lighting. In terms of fitted equipment, there is dishwasher, a bowl and a half stainless steel sink in addition to a Belfast-style stainless steel sink, a five-burner gas hob with a pop-up extractor fan, two ovens and a microwave oven. A central island offers further work surface and storage, as well as a further communal space around which family and friends may congregate. This is an attractive cooks and party kitchen with a real sense of space created from the vaulted ceiling.
The utility room, with separate ground floor WC, leads from the kitchen and offers space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A door provides external access, partially boarded loft access is available, and the space is completed with vinyl tiles creating a practical and stylish finish. The ground floor WC is ideally placed and negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a close-coupled toilet with a push button behind and a half pedestal wall hung hand wash basin with a metallic splash back which works in harmony with the deep blue painted walls. The double garage leads from the utility room and offers further storage, power and lighting.
A second flight of stairs to the first floor provides convenient access to a separate guest suite located above the double garage, which is perfect as it is slightly further removed from the main hub of the home allowing your guests their own space and peaceful environs. The spacious super king-sized bedroom is lovely and light and bright, courtesy of a pair of Velux window, and benefits from a dressing room area and ensuite facilities. The contemporary ensuite comprises an oval shaped bath with a waterfall shower head and a separate shower head over and a white brick-style tiled surround, a vanity unit incorporating a hand wash basin and concealed cistern toilet, a recessed mirror and a full height mirrored cupboard which houses the boiler and hot water cylinder for ease of access.
The ground floor suite of rooms is accessed from the main hallway and comprises a bedroom with ensuite facilities and a reception room, currently utilised as an office but would be ideal as a sitting room or a snug with a window capturing views over the front of the property. The bedroom, the tiled floor adding a continental feel, is a good-sized double with a window taking advantage of views to the side and three tall slim windows overlooking the rear garden, allowing a wealth of natural light to circulate the room. There is a recessed area which offers storage potential. The fully tiled ensuite comprises a close-coupled toilet with a push button behind, a half-pedestal wall-hung hand wash basin, a shower cubicle with a waterfall shower head within and a chrome heated towel rail ensuring added comfort.
The main staircase ascends to the first floor which showcases a magnificent, vaulted ceiling to the front which allows a wealth of natural light to transcend. The space would work perfectly as a library or space to sit and relax whilst reading a book or magazine. The landing, with loft access above, continues to open out to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. All the bedrooms are finished with engineered oak flooring creating a sleek and stylish look.
The primary bedroom is a glorious restful super king-sized room which offers a good amount of fitted storage, with wooden doors, in addition to comfortably accommodating additional bedroom furniture. The ensuite comprises a walk-in shower with a waterfall shower head and a separate shower head behind a glass screen, a close-coupled toilet with a push button behind, a half pedestal wall hung hand wash basin, and a chrome heated towel rail ensures added comfort. The space is finished with brick style tiling creating a lovely look.
Bedroom 2 is a large king-sized room boasting access to a superb terraced area enjoying elevated views. The slightly coombed ceiling adds character and a window to the side allows for natural light. The ensuite, with brick-style tiling throughout, comprises a double-sized shower cubicle with a waterfall shower head within, a chrome heated towel rail, a built-in vanity unit incorporating a hand wash basin and a toilet and natural light enters via a Velux window.
Bedroom 3 is a double room with a window taking advantage of views to the side of the property in addition to providing access to the lovely, terraced area. This restful room is finished with a Victorian-style radiator which adds charm.
The family bathroom encompasses the Victorian theme perfectly with half height wood panelling adorning the walls working in harmony with the brick style tiling which echo Victorian blue hues within their design. The suite comprises a free-standing slipper-style bath with a Heritage style waterfall shower head and separate shower head within, a high-level cistern above the toilet and a Heritage-style copper coloured sink with old fashioned taps behind all set upon a reclaimed sewing machine table, forming a fabulous unit.
Externally, the gardens have been landscaped into three distinct spaces all of which offer their own kind of peace and tranquillity. A lawn with a central tree surrounded by mature planting and a gravelled area leads to a paved area and further lawn, there is a lovely seating space before another decked area which provides an alternative place to relax and enjoy the summer sunshine and beyond that, there is access to a vegetable garden: a fabulous outside space in which you can spend time with family and friends.
