YEARN for a view of wide open spaces? Well, there’s no need to pack your bags and move further afield to enjoy lovely countryside vistas.
They are yours to enjoy at this spacious detached family home in Redmarshall, near Stockton. The five-bedroom house, decorated in an attractive contemporary style, is in a small development on the edge of the village. It has been extended since the couple who own it bought it as a new build seven years ago. “We wanted more room,” says the owner, adding that the family preferred to extend the property rather than finding a larger home elsewhere. “This house has beautiful views and it’s very private - we couldn’t find anything else to match it. It’s right next to a 16th century church.” She says her favourite room is the large kitchen/diner which opens onto a conservatory. “That’s my little domain, and we mostly all congregate there.” The kitchen has granite worktops and an integrated dishwasher, oven and fridge/freezer. The room’s flooring is Amtico, as in all the rooms on the ground floor. “I have children and it’s hard-wearing, with a long guarantee and doesn’t fade.” Other rooms on the ground floor include a family room, sitting room and a study, which could either be used as a home office or for a variety of other purposes. The owner says that, because of its size, the family room is also a popular spot with everyone. “The family room is good to use when we have lots of friends and family around.” To the ground floor there is also a laundry room and a cloakroom/wc. Upstairs there are five double bedrooms, all of which have fitted wardrobes. A distinctive and pleasant feature of the master bedroom is the balcony, which has lovely views of the countryside from it. “It’s a nice place and we like to sit out there in the summer.” The master bedroom also benefits from an en suite bathroom, and bedroom two has an en suite shower room. There is also a large and stylish family bathroom, which features a corner Jacuzzi bath, twin basins and a large shower cubicle with a drencher showerhead. Outside, to the front there are electric gates to a generous driveway with space for parking a number of vehicles, and there is a detached garage. “It’s larger than a single garage, so you have room for your lawnmower and other equipment as well as for a car.” To the rear of the house, a large raised deck is the ideal spot from which to admire those lovely open views. The garden is well established, with a variety of plants and shrubs. The family have bought a larger, historic house which they plan to restore, and so are looking to move on. “It’s a great place for a family, very safe, and the kids have loved it. And there are lots of fields and walks around here.” The detached home, on Ferguson Way in Redmarshall, is on the market for £550,000. For more details call Halifax Estate Agents on 01642 607191. |
