Description
This stunning freehold detached property spread over 2804 square feet and situated in a rural location will take your breath away!
Nestled within the picturesque village of Alston, this impressive five bedroom detached house offers an exceptional blend of character and contemporary living, perfectly tailored for a discerning family. Approached via a substantial gravel driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and grandeur, set against a backdrop of open countryside.
Step inside to a welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the spacious interiors. The ground floor boasts three versatile reception rooms. The cosy lounge features a charming wood burning stove and a bay window, creating an inviting space for relaxation. Adjacent, the elegant dining room also benefits from a feature stove, providing a wonderful setting for formal meals and gatherings. The sitting room, a true highlight, presents a contemporary feel with its modern stove, high ceilings, and bifold doors that seamlessly connect to the rear garden, bathing the room in natural light.
The heart of this home is undoubtedly the stunning kitchen, designed for both functionality and style. It features a large central island, ample storage, integrated appliances, and a traditional Aga, all complemented by French doors opening directly to the garden. A practical utility room and a convenient ground floor shower room complete the comprehensive ground floor layout, catering to all aspects of family life.
Ascending to the first floor, a spacious landing leads to five generously proportioned double bedrooms. Three of these bedrooms boast their own private ensuite shower rooms, offering superb comfort and convenience for family members or guests. The remaining two bedrooms are equally well appointed, served by a stylish first floor family shower room. Each room offers ample space, providing flexible accommodation options, whether as bedrooms, home offices, or hobby rooms.
Externally, the property is surrounded by extensive private gardens, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, ensuring privacy and a beautiful green outlook. A paved patio area extends from the sitting room and kitchen, perfect for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the peaceful rural surroundings. The large gravel driveway provides extensive off road parking, while a detached outbuilding offers valuable storage or the potential for conversion, subject to necessary consents.
