With a vaulted ceiling creating a sense of light and openness and ample room for a dining table, the very well-appointed kitchen is the perfect room for entertaining. Ideal for the keen chef and designed for both functionality and style, there is an excellent range of fitted cabinetry with quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a very useful pantry.

Additional storage is provided with access to a spacious loft area, which could possibly be converted into further accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

Outdoor Living at Its Finest:
At the front of the property, there’s a generous driveway with parking for several cars and a patio area, which is the ideal spot to enjoy an evening drink. The secluded rear garden features manicured lawns, colourful planting and two sun-soaked patio areas perfect for al fresco dining or lazy Sunday afternoons. A useful garage provides further parking, a workshop, or storage space.

The Area:
Rock is a pretty country village located only a few miles from the stunning Northumbrian coast and its wonderful white sandy beaches. The village itself has a pond thriving with wildlife, including swans, geese, waterhens and ducks. Next to the pond is the ancient church, where regular services are held. The hive of activity in the village is the cricket club, where matches and training sessions are held right through the summer for all ages. This is a very social place for the village and local community to meet. The Rocking Horse Café at Rock Midstead is approximately 1 mile away, which is a fabulous place to meet up with friends and take four-legged friends too (they have a dog-agility course!). The Horseshoes pub in Rennington village (1 mile) serves excellent food and is very popular with the locals.

Location:
Rock is located only 5 miles from the beautiful Northumberland coast with its stunning beaches and coastal villages.
