Lodge Close, Hamsterley Mill, Rowlands Gill, NE39

Originally built in the late 1940s, Cedar Lodge has been modernised and improved by the current owners, for whom it has been a much-loved family home for the last 36 years. This spacious and characterful home is sure to appeal to family buyers looking for an impressive house within this desirable semi-rural location, which is part of a Conservation Area, within easy reach of Newcastle and Durham.

Entered via a secluded driveway, the house has two entrance porches, with the side porch leading through to the charming farmhouse-style kitchen, which includes a gas Aga plus additional Aga module and is fitted with cream units, a larder cupboard, integrated fridge and integrated dishwasher, and has French doors out to the rear garden. The central reception hallway has wooden flooring and leads through to the dining room, with open fire, and to the spacious living room, with a multi-fuel stove, as well as giving access to the largest bedroom. There is another hallway, which can be accessed through the main bedroom or through the living room, and which leads to the other two double bedrooms on the ground floor and to the shower room, which is fitted with a contemporary suite including a curved shower cubicle. The main central hallway has French doors out to the rear garden and stairs up to the first floor.

The dormer window on the first floor landing affords fantastic elevated views over the rear garden and the woodland beyond, and there is space for this area to be used as a home office/study area with a wonderful outlook. There is another bedroom and adjacent bathroom, which includes a bath and shower cubicle as well as eaves storage.

There is a door from the kitchen into the garage, which has a ceramic sink, plumbing for a washing machine, Vaillant combi. boiler and an up-and-over garage door.

Externally, there are beautiful, child-friendly gardens surrounding the house with a lawn to the front, side and rear, with mature borders and trees. To the rear there is a large flagged patio that extends across the width of the house and leads directly on to the spacious lawn. There is also a gate for access to the secluded woodland behind, making this is an ideal location and garden for a family dog.
