The Property
This exceptional detached family home occupies a particularly generous plot on Ridgely Drive, with an expansive south-east-facing rear garden backing onto open fields. Rarely found in such a central village location, the setting offers both space and privacy, all within easy walking distance of Ponteland’s schools, shops, and amenities. With open views towards Prestwick Hall and excellent access to key local transport links, it strikes a rare balance between seclusion and connectivity in one of Ponteland’s most desirable addresses.

Internally, the house has been thoughtfully updated to suit modern family life while preserving hints of its mid-century heritage. The entrance hall, with elegant limestone flooring and refined architectural mouldings, creates a bright and inviting first impression, setting the tone for the rest of the home.

To the right, the full-length living room combines generous proportions with a calming palette, opening at one end into a sunlit garden room that takes full advantage of the south-easterly aspect with French doors that open out onto the raised, decked terrace area, seamlessly extending the living space into the garden. A log-burning stove set within a deep brick fireplace anchors the space, paired with panelled feature walls and soft neutral tones. Across the hall, a second reception room provides a cosy alternative, equally suited to use as a snug or family lounge with bespoke storage solutions built into the alcoves. Here, another wood-burning stove adds warmth and character, set beneath an exposed brick chimney breast.

At the rear of the house, the kitchen and dining area have been thoughtfully designed to offer a bright and inviting space, perfect for entertaining. The open-plan layout allows natural light to flood the room, creating a seamless connection to the raised terrace.

The kitchen features beautifully painted oak cabinetry, cool marble worktops, and a traditional Belfast sink, all complemented by limestone flooring that mirrors the elegant material palette of the hallway. A Rangemaster range oven, nestled beneath a bespoke mantle, serves as a striking focal point, while a skylight above and large glazed doors flood the space with natural light A built-in pantry cupboard provides ample storage, and there is easy access to the integral garage. A conveniently located WC rounds off the ground floor.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues with four tastefully decorated bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, offering convenient storage solutions. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, while the remaining three rooms are versatile, adaptable to suit family needs. There are two well-appointed bathrooms: a modern, fully equipped shower room and a beautifully finished family bathroom, with a luxurious freestanding tub, stylish patterned tiling, and a large vanity unit. The loft is fully boarded, with lighting and pull-down ladder access, providing substantial additional storage space. Subject to the necessary approvals, this area could also be transformed into an additional bedroom.

Externally
The large, south-east-facing garden is a standout feature, offering an unusually expansive space for this part of Ponteland, with uninterrupted views across open pastureland. A raised, decked terrace, accessible from both the kitchen and garden room, provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining or enjoying evening drinks. Glass balustrades surround the terrace, ensuring an unobstructed view of the serene surroundings. Below, the lawn stretches out, deep and level, bordered by established hedging and mature trees. A gravel path leads to a charming timber-framed summer house. With its generous proportions and peaceful setting, the garden offers ample space for both play and entertaining, making it especially appealing to families.
