Knowl Wall, Beech

Property description

A spacious detached residence built to individual specification in 1999 holding a fantastic, elevated position with views out around the surrounding trees and countryside. The house sits centrally within mature gardens extending to in excess of ¼ acre which have been very well maintained by the current owners.

Electric gates lead onto a gravel driveway providing parking space for several vehicles. At the top of the drive is a large detached double garage (6.64m X 5.57m) with plenty space for two cars and ample room to move around or even have a work bench within. The pitched tile roof means there is a large storage area above the joists. Before the gates is a private drive belonging to the neighbouring property over which Ivy Cottage has a vehicular right of way. The owners of Ivy Cottage make reasonable contributions to the upkeep of this drive.

The house provides extremely versatile accommodation with up to four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Elegant and contemporary décor is complimented by high quality fixtures and fittings throughout the house. The main living space runs across the rear of the house with an open plan kitchen and dining area having double doors opening out to the rear garden. From the dining area, internal double doors lead into a large sitting room which is flooded with natural light having windows to three aspects along with a fireplace housing a Clearview solid fuel stove. These principle living rooms provide the perfect space for entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units with an integrated dishwasher, large range cooker with gas fired hob and space for fridge freezer. The side entrance porch leads outside and also gives access to the utility cupboard housing the LPG fired boiler and having plumbing for the washing machine.

The master bedroom is located on the ground floor and enjoys lovely views to the front of the house as well as benefitting from a modern en-suite shower room. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a fourth bedroom, which the current owners use as an additional dining room, and a family bathroom. This particular area lends itself as an excellent space for a dependent relative.

To the first floor is a spacious landing with study area and two large double bedrooms which are served by a shared bathroom. This provides an ideal, private space for visiting guests.

The semi-rural area of Beech sits amongst some stunning countryside yet within a convenient location just a few minutes drive from J15 of the M6 and approx. 6 miles from Newcastle town centre. There are some superb countryside walks nearby with the property being located on the edge of the beautiful Hanchurch Woods and just a couple of miles from the excellent Fitzherbert Arms country pub in Swynnerton.

This property is ideally suited to those looking to step back a little from the ‘Rat Race’ and enjoy a beautiful, modern home with country gardens.
