Willow Close, Whaggs Lane, Whickham, Newcastle upon Tyne

Set within a secluded and highly desirable position at the head of a short private lane, this exceptional stone-built detached residence offers an outstanding blend of privacy, character and contemporary family living. Occupying beautiful mature grounds and featuring a superb outdoor entertaining space, the property includes four bedrooms, elegant reception space, an impressive open-plan dining kitchen and living area, three bathrooms, a detached double garage and extensive driveway parking.

Over recent years, the current owner has carried out a programme of thoughtful improvements, enhancing both the style and functionality of the home to create a truly special family home.

The property is approached via a wide gated entrance opening onto a generous block-paved driveway with EV charge point, providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to the detached double garage, which offers both secure parking and useful storage space.

Timber double doors open into an entrance vestibule with a cloakroom. From here, glazed double doors lead into a striking double height grand reception hall, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond.

The ground floor is beautifully arranged around the central hallway with Karndean flooring that flows through the majority and offers a wonderful balance of formal and informal living space. The elegant drawing room is a particularly inviting reception area, featuring a gas stove, painted exposed beams, and both wall and central ceiling lighting. A separate study provides an ideal space for home working.

Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home is the stunning open-plan dining kitchen and living space, which enjoys lovely views across the rear garden and with tasteful media wall with cabinetry, shelving and electric fire. Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the kitchen is fitted with a stylish range of quality wall and base units, complemented by striking hybrid Silestone quartz work surfaces and a central peninsula that subtly divides the kitchen from the living area. A vaulted section illuminated via skylights provides a practical space for dining and also hosts a bespoke bar, while the comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes two self cleaning ovens and a multi purpose oven with microwave and a warming plate, multi stove induction hob with built in extractor, refrigerator and dishwasher.

A separate utility room offers additional fitted storage along with a pantry cupboard, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer as well as handy side access for pets.

To the first floor, an impressive staircase rises to a spacious landing leading to four well proportioned bedrooms and the recently refitted family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a luxurious retreat, complete with a contemporary en-suite shower room w/c, walk-in dressing room, extensive light sensor fitted wardrobes and direct access to an enclosed balcony/sitting area enjoying delightful views over the gardens. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while two further double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, vanity unit, large double shower cubicle and WC.

Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of the property and are arranged mainly to the rear. Enclosed by a combination of stone walling, fencing, hedging and mature trees, they offer a wonderful degree of privacy and a picturesque setting. Immediately to the rear of the house is an impressive terrace incorporating a sunken circular seating area centred around a fire pit, ideal for entertaining. A further terrace and lawned garden extend beyond, creating a superb outdoor space for both family life and social occasions.
