Briardene, Coast View, Swarland, Morpeth

A fully refurbished and modernised home offering light and bright contemporary living. We are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous 4 bedroom 3 bathroom detached bungalow situated in the Northumberland village of Swarland. The property, built in 1978, benefits from a considerable amount of driveway parking, a garage, glorious wrap-around gardens, uPVC windows replaced within the last 10 years, a composite front door, oil central heating, a new oil tank and boiler, and all the other usual mains connections. This beautiful home occupies a peaceful location and is one of the most sought-after properties in the area.

Entry is via the front door into a wide, light and bright hallway with wood-effect flooring and various solid wood doors leading off. Straight ahead, a wood and glass door opens into the kitchen.

The kitchen, with grey wood-effect flooring, is triple aspect with sliding doors to the front, French doors to the rear and windows facing two further directions, making it a gloriously light and bright space which captures beautiful views all the way round. Natural light is enhanced by a good number of ceiling spotlights and feature lights above the magnificent centre island. The kitchen offers plenty of matt grey wall and base units, including a range of pullouts, corner cabinets and built-in shelving, complemented by grey brick splashback tiling and a marble-effect work surface. There is space for a large range cooker beneath a chimney-style extractor fan and space for an American-style fridge freezer. In addition, there is a bowl-and-a-half stainless steel sink. The impressive centre island, with an exquisite zebrano wood worksurface, incorporates a full-size fully-integrated dishwasher, a wine cooler, large drawers with a hidden cutlery drawer within, and a breakfast bar area to one end. In addition, there is a bespoke dining table with matching zebrano surface which complements the centre island beautifully, and a dresser in the matching matt finish which completes the look. A double-sided woodburner set on a tiled hearth is situated between the kitchen-diner and the living room and is an exquisite focal point. You are left in no doubt of the style and quality offered by this glorious entertaining space, which captures not only the designer look perfectly but also the magnificent views of the garden from every angle. To the rear of the kitchen-diner, the French doors open out to a wonderful, decked area which is ideal for the alfresco dining experience and entices the garden views into the home beautifully.

The living room, with stripped wood floorboards, leads off the kitchen-diner and is gloriously light and bright courtesy of the windows all the way round. There is an insulated roof with spotlights which is perfect for regulating the temperature so that this space can be comfortably enjoyed throughout every month of the year. The deep windowsills allow photographs or ornaments to be displayed and there is ample space for a large L-shaped sofa.

The bedroom area is accessed from a secondary hallway leading off the main entrance hallway.

The primary bedroom is a large double taking advantage of the views of the rear garden. The good sized ensuite comprises a double-sized tiled shower cubicle with a waterfall shower head and a separate shower head, a white high-gloss vanity unit with a winged sink on top, a close-coupled WC with a push button, a chrome heated towel rail, and a window for natural light with additional lighting by way of spotlights to the ceiling.

Bedroom 2 is a large double, with wood-effect flooring and a large window overlooking the front of the property.

Bedroom 3 is another double room overlooking the front of the property.

Further along the hallway, a door reveals a clever design. It opens into a space which could facilitate multi-generational living as it has independent access to the driveway in addition to a door providing access to the garage. To the rear of the well-fitted garage, which features a roller shutter door and ceiling strip lights, there is a utility area which offers plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.

At the foot of the hallway, there is a guest suite which could, with the independent access mentioned above, be perfect for multi-generational living. There is a solid wood and glass door which opens into a living room space which has French doors leading into the garden. A wood and glass door opens into a spacious double bedroom with a window overlooking the pleasing views of the garden. The ensuite comprises a tiled shower cubicle with an electric shower behind a bi-fold door, a chrome heated towel rail, a white high gloss vanity unit with a sink on top and a splashback tile behind, and a concealed cistern WC with a push button. This space is hugely versatile and, due to its location at the far end of the property, is a peaceful haven in which to relax.

Externally the wrap-around garden is a unique and private space. With a mix of gravelled, decked and lawned areas framed by a variety of cottage-style planting, this outside space is truly wonderful. Privacy is afforded by the good height of hedge and bushes and completes this splendid home perfectly.
