LUXURIOUS living doesn’t get much better than this.
A swimming pool, surround sound music system and sunken hot tub are just some of the fabulous touches that mean you can live the A-list lifestyle on Teesside. But Robins Mead at Newton Bewley is also a great family home - combining comfort with contemporary design to a tee. Owners of this handsome home built the property from scratch and moved in almost three years ago. And it’s little wonder this place is so well appointed - their day job is as property developers. “We were passing by and saw the land,” they explained. “It wasn’t even for sale. “But it was a great spot. It’s only four miles from Billingham, a mile-and-a-half from Wolviston and handy for the A19 - but we’re surrounded by countryside.” They added: “The land here was called Robins Mead, which is where the house gets its name from.” Owners say the property is perfect for parties. The indoor pool has its own changing room and shower facilities, under floor heating and sauna. There’s also an outdoor entertainment area with hot tub and mood lighting. And the piped music system that runs through the house means you can listen to your favourite tunes anywhere - including outside. “It’s the first time we’ve built a pool for ourselves,” they said. “It’s great for parties and friends tend to bring their swimming costumes when they come over.” The ground floor also includes a large lounge with a walk-in bay window with French doors that lead out to the sun terrace. High-tech touches include the living flame fire which you can turn on by remote control and a cinema surround sound system. There’s also a huge family room and breakfasting kitchen. This open plan space is the hub of the house and is where the owners spend much of their time. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, laundry room, rear lobby and library/office. The reception hallway features a solid ash staircase with smoked glass panels and a bespoke cut-glass window designed by a local artist. Luxurious living continues up on the first floor. You can enjoy countryside views from the master suite which has French doors leading onto its own balcony. There is also a walk-in dressing room and fabulous en suite with Jacuzzi bath and oversized walk-in wet area. Each of the other three bedrooms has its own en suite bath or shower facilities - one being a Jack ‘n’ Jill style bathroom that is shared by a first floor apartment. The apartment is accessed by its own staircase and has a fully equipped kitchen and bedroom/sitting room. Outside the house is surrounded by gardens, there is a raised decking area with sunken hot tub, bar and Indian sandstone sun terrace. Plus there’s a triple garage. But with children having flown the nest, the owners have now put this phenomenal property up for sale. “It’s a bit too big for us now,” they said. “This is a great family home but we’re looking to build something a bit smaller now the children have moved out.” Robins Mead, Newton Bewley is inviting offers in excess of £1.2m.
