The Property

North End is a fantastic detached bungalow with generous and versatile living spaces along with an impressive five bedrooms. The property benefits from well-maintained mature gardens, all nestled in Fairmoor, a quiet hamlet just to the north west of Morpeth. The location brings all the benefits of immediate access to magnificent Northumberland countryside along with quick and easy links for commuting and travel.

The front door opens from beneath a sheltering open porch to the wide and welcoming entrance hall. The sitting room is expansive yet cosy, with characterful exposed ceiling beams and a striking stone-built inglenook housing a gas-fired stove. Tall and wide sliding glazed doors open to the beautiful garden room and create an open flow. The garden room has a contemporary feel with clean, modern lines and views across the gardens. Sliding doors lead out to the flagged patio and radiators ensure that the garden room is a perfect escape at all times of the year. The dining room offers more formal entertaining space and also has direct access to the gardens.

Double doors with pretty decorative glazing lead from the hall to the kitchen. The wonderful country style kitchen features an abundance of fitted units with the wood cabinetry blending with an attractive exposed brick wall. The ceiling soars overhead with skylights adding yet more natural light to the dual aspect room. A grand range cooker sits to one side and a pantry adds storage and convenience. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs for day-to-day dining. The kitchen is further served by a generous utility room with yet more workspace and storage, as well as an additional sink. The utility also links to the integral double garage.

The five bedrooms are both accessible and flexible. There is scope to configure for individual needs and to use a bedroom as a study for working from home, or perhaps a play room. The principal bedroom has extensive fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room complete with walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. There are four further bedrooms, one with direct access to the gardens. These bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room. 

Externally

North End is approached through a stone pillared five-bar gate onto the driveway with ample parking for several vehicles. The driveway leads to the integral double garage which also has space for storage and a door to the rear gardens. A pretty courtyard is formed within the horseshoe of the property with a flagged path leading to the main entrance and a pergola to one side.

A flagged patio stretches across the rear elevation with a raised area outside the garden room. This is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond the patio are sweeping manicured lawns sheltered by fenced boundaries with mature hedging and trees. Colourful plantings add to the tranquil atmosphere. In all the property extends to around 0.38 acres.
