Cornmoor Road, Whickham, NE16

A truly outstanding, extensively extended and re-configured detached family residence, meticulously and extensively refurbished by the current owners to an exceptional standard.  An architect was commissioned by the owners to modify and extend the existing bungalow into a light filled, open plan contemporary family home which has resulted in a home of remarkable style, comfort and distinction.  The property includes expansive windows, glazed external doors and sliding doors which afford uninterrupted views over the west facing main garden and south facing courtyard, which are connected by a wrap around timber decked sun terrace.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by an inviting entrance hallway which immediately sets the tone for the style and space that unfolds beyond.

The heart of the home is an impressive and exceptionally spacious and light filled open plan living area, seamlessly incorporating the kitchen, dining and family spaces beneath a striking vaulted ceiling that enhances the sense of volume and light. This magnificent room forms the true centrepiece of the property, a sophisticated yet relaxed setting designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings.

The family area is dual aspect and features a sliding door that open directly onto a patio area, with two additional sliding doors leading to the beautifully landscaped rear garden and courtyard. This effortless connection between indoors and outdoors creates a wonderful flow, ideal for summer entertaining or simply enjoying tranquil garden views throughout the seasons.

The dining area comfortably accommodates a substantial table and chairs, offering an elegant space for formal dinners or relaxed family meals. The kitchen is superbly appointed with a comprehensive range of stylish, contemporary units complemented by built in cooking appliances, whilst a breakfast bar provides an informal seating area, perfect for morning coffee, casual dining or socialising while entertaining. This truly is a fabulous space that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

The ground floor further comprises four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys the added luxury of an en-suite shower room, creating a peaceful and refined retreat. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, complemented by a separate WC for added convenience. A practical utility room provides further functionality, discreetly housing laundry facilities and additional storage.

A staircase rising from the hallway leads to two additional attic areas one currently used as an office and the other as a gym, along with a separate attic storage space.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The beautifully maintained landscaped gardens provide a picturesque setting which is not overlooked.  The garden features a wrap around raised decked sun terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and relaxation, an expansive lawn, and thoughtfully arranged architectural plants and grasses that create colour, texture and seclusion throughout the year. A timber pergola at the bottom of the garden offers an additional focal point plus two sheds.  An extensive driveway provides for ample off street parking.

The property is ideally placed for access to the wide range of village amenities Whickham has to offer including access to local schools and to the historic Chase Park. Transport links and services, with the A1 providing access to Team Valley, the Metro Centre, Newcastle City Centre and further afield.  

This exceptional home effortlessly combines contemporary elegance with practical family living, offering generous accommodation in a highly desirable and refined setting.
