3 Bedroom Detached House

Much Bigger Than It Looks, All On One Floor And Right Next To The A1. This chain free bungalow has more going on inside than most buyers expect. And if your weekday commute or weekend lifestyle depends on fast A1 access, you won’t find anything closer than this.

For some, being right next to the A1 - with a Shell garage beyond the back fence - is going to be a real turn off. But you'll never run out of fuel, and if you need to get to Newcastle or up into Northumberland fast, you won't find a more convenient place to call home.

For others, the bungalow thing is the sticking point. No stairs sounds great unless you've convinced yourself that single-storey living is for later life. But walk around this one and you may just change your mind.

Stannington village gives you the Ridley Arms, a first school rated “Good” by Ofsted, a post office and a local shop - with a popular Indian restaurant just on the other side of the petrol station - perfect for an easy Friday night treat.

Morpeth is around ten minutes down the road for the full range of shops, restaurants and the mainline train station with direct services north and south. Plessey Woods and Northumberlandia are both a short drive away when you want a proper walk.

Inside, the lounge is the room that tends to stop people in their tracks. It's over 20 ft long - with an archway leading to the dining room, ornate plasterwork ceilings and a marble fireplace. Whether that's your thing or your inspiration to update, the room gives you options. 

Sliding patio doors lead through to the conservatory/sun room, which is a versatile extra room with hardwood frames, pine flooring and doors out to the garden - somewhere to sit with a coffee in the morning without going outside. 

The separate dining room sits between the lounge and the kitchen, giving you options if you wanted to open it all up and create a much more sociable space for cooking, eating and relaxing together.

The kitchen is a solid fitted space with wall and base units, dark granite-effect worktops, a five-ring gas hob, double oven and room for a dishwasher and washing machine.

The main bedroom has a bay window at the front, a walk-in wardrobe and its own ensuite with shower. Bedroom two also has a bay window and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom three overlooks the rear garden. 

The four piece family bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower.

Outside, the back garden is enclosed and is mostly lawn with a wraparound paved patio. The front gives you parking for several cars with established planting, an attached garage with side access, and - worth saying again - A1 access to both the north and south about sixty seconds away.

There's also a fully boarded loft with its own Velux windows, which works well for storage now and has potential for something more with the right plans and permissions. There’s certainly space to add some stairs to make it into a room you can use everyday.

If you need fast A1 access, don’t have any bungalow baggage and love a curry this could be your perfect next move. It won’t be for everyone but I suspect there are buyers out there who’ll love that unique combination!
