Murray Gardens, Rothbury, Morpeth, Northumberland

Elizabeth Humphreys Homes are delighted to present this beautifully appointed two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, occupying an enviable position within the highly regarded Murray Gardens development in Rothbury. Built by Robertson Homes approximately seven years ago, this stylish home enjoys a peaceful setting with uninterrupted views across open countryside towards the iconic Simonside Hills, offering the perfect balance of modern living and village tranquillity. 25% shared ownership.

Offered on a 25% shared ownership basis with the opportunity to staircase to 100% ownership, this exceptional bungalow provides an affordable route into one of Northumberland's most sought-after villages. Once full ownership is achieved, the property becomes freehold, offering complete flexibility for the future.

Built approximately seven years ago, the property benefits from uPVC double glazing, gas central heating, fibre to the property broadband, and all mains services, making it an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, professionals, downsizers alike. The home has been built with a ramp for easy access, low-level switches and sockets, and wide access doors.

Approached via a pathway bordered by an attractive lawn and mature hedging, the property enjoys a wonderful degree of privacy from the front. A composite entrance door opens into a practical entrance porch before leading into a welcoming L-shaped hallway, beautifully presented in fresh neutral décor with contemporary internal doors and excellent built-in storage.

The kitchen/breakfast room is thoughtfully designed with an excellent range of wall and base units finished in a soft contemporary tone, complemented by generous work surfaces and quality integrated appliances including a Bosch induction hob, electric oven, integrated fridge freezer, washing machine and slimline dishwasher. A large window frames the attractive green outlook to the front, while ample space remains for a breakfast or dining table.

Positioned to the rear of the property, the spacious lounge is filled with natural light thanks to French doors opening directly onto the garden. This delightful reception room enjoys uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside towards the Simonside Hills, creating a peaceful backdrop throughout the year and providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Both bedrooms are doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from the same spectacular rear outlook across the fields and hills beyond, while the second bedroom overlooks the front of the property and offers excellent flexibility as a guest room, dressing room or home office.

The shower room has been thoughtfully adapted to provide a spacious and accessible layout, replacing the original bath with a contemporary walk-in shower featuring a rainfall shower head, separate handset, glazed screen and stylish low-profile shower tray. A WC, pedestal wash hand basin, chrome fittings and contemporary finishes complete this beautifully presented room.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden has been designed to offer both enjoyment and ease of maintenance. A generous patio provides the perfect space for outdoor dining, while the lawn, secure fencing and gated rear access create an ideal environment for both entertaining and everyday relaxation. Side access to the garden also provides additional practicality for gardening, storage or future landscaping.

Further benefits include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing, all mains services and excellent parking provision within the development.

This attractive bungalow would make an ideal retirement home, low-maintenance main residence, combining modern comfort with one of Rothbury's most desirable settings.
