Set within the leafy grounds of St Cuthberts House in the village of Shotley Bridge is this detached family home that combines space, style and versatility.

At its heart is a spectacular open-plan kitchen, living and dining space that stretches across the rear of the house and encompasses much of the ground floor.

Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, it features sleek charcoal cabinetry, quartz worktops, a contrasting central island with breakfast bar seating and a range of integrated appliances in the kitchen.

The living area benefits from a more intimate seating space centred around a feature gas fire, creating a cosy retreat.

Open to the wider kitchen and adjoining dining area, it provides the perfect spot to relax while remaining connected to the heart of the home.

Expansive sliding doors open from it directly into the rear garden, framing the outlook and creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Also on this floor are the entrance hall, a versatile reception room ideal for use as a home office, playroom, additional sitting room or even an occasional bedroom, and a utility room with storage and a WC as well as internal access to the integral garage which has an electric vehicle charging point.

The ground floor is enhanced by underfloor heating, with individual thermostatic controls to each room.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper two floors and includes a stylish family bathroom and five generous double bedrooms, four of which have their own en-suites.

Occupying the whole of the second floor is a particularly striking bedroom with a dormer window that offers far-reaching views and has a substantial en-suite bathroom.

This would work equally well as a principal suite, guest suite or a private retreat.

An added bonus is two substantial fitted double cupboards in a long corridor on the first floor that provide excellent storage space.
