Occupying a pleasant position within the ever-popular village of Castleside, Church Street is an impressive four-bedroom detached home combining modern styling with a highly versatile layout, perfectly suited to family living whilst equally appealing to those seeking flexible multi-generational accommodation or additional guest space.

Entered via a glazed composite door into an initial entrance lobby, the property immediately conveys a sense of quality and thoughtful design. The lower ground floor has been expertly adapted to create a versatile bedroom suite, formerly the garage, now transformed into a beautifully bright and welcoming room enjoying lovely natural light and attractive outlooks. Positioned alongside a contemporary shower room with gorgeous contemporary tiling, this space lends itself perfectly to guest accommodation, independent living, or a superb principal suite with ensuite facilities.

A short flight of steps leads to the main ground floor living accommodation where the property truly opens up. The striking glass-clamped oak balustrade instantly catches the eye, introducing a stylish contemporary edge which continues throughout the home. Brightly decorated in crisp neutral tones, the spacious open-plan living area offers excellent flexibility depending on a purchaser's requirements, with clearly defined yet sociable spaces. An electric fireplace creates an attractive focal point within the lounge, whilst a front-facing window enjoys lovely views towards Muggleswick Common and the surrounding countryside. The lounge also benefits from generous underfloor storage, providing a highly practical solution for everyday family living.

The quality finishes continue throughout, with oak internal doors featuring partial glazing adding warmth and character whilst enhancing the sense of light flowing through the home. Positioned alongside the lounge, the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space has been designed with entertaining and modern family life in mind. The kitchen is fitted with sleek light grey high-gloss units complemented by an excellent range of integrated Neff appliances, including two ovens, microwave, warming drawer, induction hob with extractor, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. Open through to the dining space, this sociable arrangement creates the ideal environment for everyday living and hosting alike.

French doors from both the lounge and dining area provide seamless access into the rear garden, creating an excellent indoor-outdoor connection during the warmer months. The garden itself has been thoughtfully landscaped for ease of maintenance whilst remaining attractive and usable year-round, featuring a generous paved patio, lawned section, and beautifully stocked planted borders with climbing plants adding colour and maturity.

Ascending to the first floor, the oak and glass staircase continues onto the landing, leading to three further spacious double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The rear bedroom benefits from fitted furniture including wardrobes and a dressing table, whilst the two front-facing bedrooms enjoy particularly attractive outlooks towards Muggleswick Common, with afternoon and evening sunlight creating a wonderfully bright and inviting feel.

The family bathroom has been stylishly updated to offer a luxurious finish, comprising a walk-in shower with rainfall attachment alongside a striking freestanding pebble-shaped bath, creating a calm and contemporary space. Positioned at the end of the landing is a particularly useful utility cupboard, currently housing a washing machine and tumble dryer whilst also providing access to the loft space. The loft itself has recently been upgraded with Loftzone suspended flooring, enhanced insulation, lighting, electric sockets, and full-length shelving, creating an exceptionally practical and well-organised storage area.

Externally, the property benefits from a spacious block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking together with the added benefit of an EV car charging point. There is also side access leading to the rear garden, which has the benefit of full garden lighting and external power sockets. Combining character, flexibility, quality finishes, and a beautiful village setting, this bespoke home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive property with broad appeal.
