Woodside, Darras Hall, NE20

Available with no onward chain and occupying a wonderful west-facing plot extending to circa 0.34 acres, this exceptional Georgian-inspired residence was completed in 2018 and individually designed by an award-winning architect. The current owner has since reimagined the interiors in collaboration with Eighteen Interior Design, creating a beautifully curated home that combines timeless architectural elegance with contemporary style and luxurious finishes throughout.

Combining the timeless elegance of traditional Georgian architecture with contemporary luxury and sophisticated technology, this outstanding home has been finished to an exacting standard, with an emphasis on space, craftsmanship and refined detail throughout.

The property’s striking exterior showcases London stock brickwork laid in English bond, elegant sash windows, hardwood doors, decorative Artstone detailing and an impressive stone entrance portico, beneath a natural slate roof with lead detailing. Inside, the sense of grandeur continues with impressive three-metre-high ceilings, hardwood internal doors, bespoke joinery, classic Georgian detailing and Amtico flooring throughout the ground floor.

Designed to maximise natural light and create a wonderful sense of flow, the accommodation is complemented by an extensive range of integrated smart-home technology. Features include a NACOSS-certified Pyronix alarm system, Hikvision CCTV, CAT 5 cabling throughout, Heatmiser Neo heating controls, a Tannoy music system and sophisticated Lutron lighting, incorporating both feature and task lighting.

The impressive entrance hallway immediately establishes the character of the home, with full-height wall panelling and a striking dropped ceiling incorporating Lutron LED lighting. A cloakroom and WC are conveniently positioned off the hallway, while two generously proportioned reception rooms provide elegant and versatile spaces for formal entertaining, relaxing or family living.

To the rear, the heart of the home is an expansive L-shaped open-plan living space, thoughtfully arranged to incorporate a bespoke, handmade kitchen with integrated appliances, a dedicated dining area and a comfortable living space featuring a contemporary media wall. Two sets of double doors open directly onto the private west-facing garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living areas and allowing natural light to flood the space.

Leading from the kitchen is a substantial playroom, ideal for modern family life, together with a sixth bedroom or home office, complete with en-suite facilities. This flexible arrangement offers excellent versatility for families, guests or those working from home.

The first floor provides five further double bedrooms, served by four luxurious bathrooms, alongside useful storage rooms and a dedicated data room. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, incorporating a separate dressing room and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. Designed with bespoke craftsmanship in mind, the bathroom features a handmade double vanity unit with individual his-and-hers basins, complemented by large-format marble floor tiles.

Externally, the property is approached through remotely operated aluminium electric gates, with access and communication managed via internal Hikvision panels. These open onto a white gravel driveway providing extensive off-street parking for several vehicles, together with a garage featuring an electric remote-operated door and communication system.

The gardens, which measure approximately 0.34 acres, provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, with an expansive Indian sandstone terrace offering an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are enhanced by specimen trees, established shrubs and mature hedging along the boundaries. With southerly and westerly aspects, the garden enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day, while the tree-lined southern boundary opens onto attractive views of protected woodland, creating a peaceful and particularly appealing backdrop.

Offering a rare combination of traditional architectural elegance, contemporary family living and high-specification technology, this distinctive home stands apart for the quality of its design and construction. Ideally positioned within easy walking distance of local shops and schools, it presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed, individually designed residence in a highly desirable location.
