Marchburn Lane, Riding Mill, NE44

Period semi-detached home with fantastic open green and mature space opposite with large garage and south facing gardens and driveway parking for two cars.

Welcome to Rippledale

A partially glazed uPVC door leads into the spacious main hallway with period features. As you enter the property, the first door on the left provides access into the ground floor WC/ utility which is a good sized room with front facing double glazed window, low level toilet, pedestal style basin and two double cupboards which currently house the washer and dryer whilst also providing additional storage.

To the other side of the hall lies the living room which is another generous space perfect for family living. A large bay window on the front aspect draws in exceptional amounts of light and adds to the floor space. Attractive features including deep skirting, cornicing and pleasant ceiling height make this a wonderfully charming room. The main focal point of the room is an open fire with tiled hearth, ornate styled inset and wooden mantle. Sitting on a protruding chimney breast, it creates two small alcoves on either side.

Back in the hallway there is a cupboard under the stairs providing a generous amount of storage space as well as a wood panelled door which leads into the incredibly spacious open plan family kitchen/ dining room.
The kitchen itself has a range of wall and floor mounted cabinets including drawers as well as an integrated oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher and a ceramic sink with drainer and mixer tap above positioned nicely in front of a south facing window. The countertop is split into three different sections with cream splashback tiles behind offering a generous amount of preparation space for budding chefs. A partially glazed rear door allows access out on to the gravelled area of the garden; facing east this is a great place to enjoy a coffee in the morning sun which streams into the kitchen. Modern spotlighting lines the ceiling with an additional roof light providing additional light into the kitchen nook.

Wood effect flooring continues through from the kitchen to the dining portion of this delightful open plan space. Double french doors with additional glazed border fills the room with natural light and provide attractive views over the mature gardens. An inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, slate hearth and wooden mantle creates a cosy focal point and ensures this extensive room also feels wonderfully welcoming and homely.

From the main hallway, stairs with newel post, spindles and quarter landing lead to the first floor.

To the rear of the home lies the first of the double bedrooms which is a good size and benefits from pleasant ceiling height and large south facing window providing exceptional amounts of natural light.

The second double bedroom faces the front of the property and enjoys attractive mature views over Riding Mill woodland.

The third bedroom benefits from the extension which incorporates part of the kitchen and WC; this extends the room making it the third double and shares the same mature woodland views of the second bedroom.

The final room on this floor is the family bathroom with roll top bath and rainwater style shower over, pedestal style basin, toilet and east facing window. There is tiling to dado height in addition to large tiled floor.

External

Externally, Rippledale benefits from a generous plot. The rear garden is a great size and is currently split into two attractive landscaped tiers. The southern most tier is predominately laid to lawn with a large decked area, which makes a great place to sit, and gravel path which separates the two. To the rear of this tier, a raised stone lined bed containing a variety of mature shrubbery and flowers creates an attractive border and provides a good amount of privacy. This border also stretches down the western boundary.

The lower tier is an attractive low maintenance area finished with gravel ensuring it is perfect for enjoying in all weathers. Easily accessed from the door in the kitchen and the double French doors in the dining room, this is the perfect place for alfresco dining or just enjoying a quiet coffee in the sun. An additional door allows access into the garage allowing generous storage which further enhances the storage offered by a handy garden shed with open storage area.

A gate on the western boundary, with attractive flower bed and gravel path, provides access to the front of the property where a large double tarmac driveway extends past the garage, with up and over door, to stone flagged steps which lead up to the front door. The front garden itself has a lawned area, attractive raised beds, further gravel paths, flagged patio and a delightful mature green outlook, one of the many perks enjoyed by many in Riding Mill.
