The Property
Bramble Cottage is a substantial contemporary stone house offering around 2,938 square feet of thoughtfully arranged accommodation, combining modern craftsmanship with a sense of rural calm. Set within a small cluster of quality homes on the edge of South Charlton, the property is designed to take full advantage of its countryside setting, with generous proportions, excellent natural light and a layout that works for a variety of lifestyles. The home also carries an EPC rating of A, reflecting its considered approach to energy efficiency.

A broad entrance porch leads into a striking double height hall where oak joinery, porcelain tiled flooring and a galleried landing establish the refined yet understated style found throughout. From here, the ground floor rooms branch naturally in several directions.

The sitting room is an inviting space centred around a wood burning stove, with dual aspect windows that bring a gentle softness to the room. Across the hall, a study provides a peaceful setting for work, reading or quiet routines.

The kitchen and dining room sit at the rear of the house and extend to an impressive length, arranged to draw in the wide open views across surrounding fields. Shaker style cabinetry in a muted palette is paired with quartz work surfaces and a large central island, creating a well planned workspace for cooking and entertaining. Integrated appliances, beneath cabinet lighting and a bank of full height units enhance the clean design. Sliding doors open to the terrace, allowing the room to connect directly with the garden. The adjoining utility room mirrors the kitchen’s quality and includes extensive storage, work surfaces and external access.

The ground floor layout includes a generous double bedroom with fitted storage and a contemporary en suite shower room, ideal for guests or for those who prefer ground floor living. A cloakroom sits nearby.

To the other side of the hall, a large room currently arranged as a gym provides valuable flexibility and could function equally well as a second sitting room, studio or play space depending on individual needs.

The galleried landing above brings a lovely sense of openness to the first floor. The principal bedroom enjoys far reaching rural views and includes a sleek en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are arranged along the landing, each with excellent floor space and natural light. A large separate dressing room sits beside the third bedroom and offers extensive storage potential. The family bathroom is finished in a modern marble effect tile and includes both a bath and a walk in shower.

Externally
Bramble Cottage sits behind a broad gravelled driveway that offers comfortable parking for multiple vehicles. The dressed stone elevations and slate roof reflect traditional Northumbrian architecture while presenting a crisp, modern finish. At the rear, a raised stone terrace with glazed balustrade provides an attractive space for outdoor dining with uninterrupted views across open countryside. Steps lead down to a well kept lawn bordered by timber fencing. To one side of the garden sits a substantial timber outbuilding, ideal for storage or hobbies, and a greenhouse is positioned to capture the best of the light. The overall setting is peaceful and open, with a continual sense of space and rural outlook.
