The Property
Thistledown stands on a mature corner plot along a stunning tree lined avenue of large, detached houses of varied styles within the highly sought-after Painshawfield estate in Stocksfield. The property offers versatile, carefully arranged accommodation in an attractive and convenient village setting, with a dormer conversion providing additional space on the first floor. Designed for day-to-day living with ample room to entertain, the layout includes two generous reception rooms, a breakfasting kitchen and three ground floor bedrooms served by a well-appointed family bathroom, with a further bedroom and shower room above. A detached double garage, ample parking and gardens on all sides frame the house beautifully.

An enclosed porch gives an inviting arrival and leads into a broad hall that circulates naturally around the ground floor. To the front, the sitting room enjoys generous glazing that looks over the drive, with a fireplace creating a clear focal point and proportions that suit both everyday relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen is planned for busy households, with ample cabinetry, complementary worktops, and space to dine. Specification includes a gas hob, double oven, integrated fridge and dishwasher, and a practical tiled floor. Two external doors serve the kitchen, one to the rear garden and the other to the side, convenient for the garage. Beyond, the dining room sits at the rear of the house, its sliding glass doors drawing in light and opening to the garden.

Sleeping accommodation on the ground floor is thoughtfully zoned. A double bedroom to the front enjoys wide outlooks to the front garden. The smallest bedroom could work equally well as a study or home office, if desired. A further double bedroom to the rear benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and shelving. The family bathroom is smartly finished with full tiling, a tub and a large corner shower cubicle. Additional storage is provided by a loft hatch off the hall.

The first floor offers a quiet retreat, currently arranged as a hobby and craft space but readily adaptable for use as a principal or guest bedroom. A separate eaves storage area is located nearby, and there is an adjoining well-appointed shower room.

Externally
A generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage. The gardens wrap around the house and are set across a series of levels, with a patio terrace by the rear, ideal for outdoor dining and reached directly from the sliding doors of the dining room. Established planting frames the spaces, with useful outbuildings, including a shed and a greenhouse. Security and convenience are supported by an alarm system and a garage mounted security light.
