GROUND FLOORAs you approach the house you are immediately impressed by its presentation. The Swedor ‘Georgian’ entrance door leads to an entrance vestibule with two leaded windows either side of the door. An internal Douglas fir door featuring bevelled glass upper panels incorporating a bulls eye opens to an imposing and spacious reception hall. The reception hall boasts four Douglas fir internal doors with bevelled glass upper panels, two of them with a bulls eye, leading to the principal ground floor rooms. A most impressive Douglas fir staircase rises to the first floor with under stairs cupboard, and the hall features a Junkers floor which continues from the entrance vestibule and is also laid to the first floor landing. A particular highlight of the reception hall is a creatively designed sun pipe which allows the hall to flood with natural light, further enhancing the feeling of light and space.

Running from the front to the rear you have a spacious drawing room with a wide splayed bay window to the front, taking in breath taking sea views, and a window to the rear enjoying views over the beautiful gardens. The focal point of the room is a superb stone Minster fireplace with mantel shelf over, in addition to two individually commissioned stained glass circular porthole windows, one portraying a coastal scene of Bamburgh and the other a rural view, created by a stained glass artist. This room also features a beautiful herringbone patterned oak floor.

Walking across the elegant, light filled hall one enters the formal dining room which has a matching splayed bay window with fabulous sea views. This room would readily lend itself as a ground floor bedroom if required.

The extensive modern kitchen is another superb feature of this remarkable home. Fitted with a comprehensive range of units which at base level incorporate cupboards and drawers with striking Corian worktops over. At wall level there are a wide range of wall cupboards with under lighting including two glass illuminated display cabinets.

Other highlights include a range of integrated appliances and a built in cupboard with sliding doors offers further storage. An internal door leads from the kitchen to the garage and there is an additional side entry door.

The floor is covered with attractive slate tiling which continues through to the sun room.

A set of double French doors provide access to a flagged terrace and the gardens beyond. A well appointed visitors shower room provides a second bathroom facility incorporating wc, wash hand basin and shower.
