Long Close Road, Hamsterley Mill, Rowlands Gill, NE39

Tastefully improved and updated by the current owners since 2018, Bluebell Cottage is an impressive detached bungalow that should appeal particularly to couples looking for a single-storey home in a secluded, semi-rural location within the Derwent Valley.

Originally built in the 1950s, this timber-framed cottage has stone-built extensions to the front and rear and has been significantly modernised throughout, including rewiring, the installation of a combi. boiler and a wood-burning stove, with uPVC double glazing throughout.

The accommodation comprises: entrance porch, kitchen/dining/family room with a central island/breakfast bar, wooden worktops and oak flooring, with French doors to the front and opening into the spacious living room to the rear, with Velux windows, feature wood burner and French doors to the rear garden. The hallway is open from the kitchen/dining/family room - with a drop-down ladder to a boarded loft - and leads to the three bedrooms: a large main bedroom with fitted wardrobes, oak flooring and attractive open fire, with French doors to the garden and an en suite shower room; a second double bedroom and a third bedroom/study, which is next to the beautifully fitted bathroom, with a contemporary white suite including a dual-head shower over the bath.

Externally there is a single garage to the side with an electric roller door, light and power, a lawned garden to the front and stone-paved steps up to the entrance, with a patio and path leading around to the rear where there is a secluded lawned garden with two patio areas and a summerhouse, with light and electric. There is a pebbled driveway that is long enough to park 4-5 cars, in front of the garage.

Long Close Road is situated off High Hamsterley Road within the desirable semi-rural area of Hamsterley Mill, at the edge of Rowlands Gill just off the A694 in the Derwent Valley. There are popular countryside walks and cycle routes in the area, including the Derwent Walk and the Red Kite Trail, while Rowlands Gill village - just over 2 miles along the road - has some shops and amenities (including a doctor's practice, village library, Boots Pharmacy and Tesco Express) as well as the National Trust estate of Gibside. The A694 also provides access to Newcastle (10.2 miles) the Metro Centre (7.4 miles) and the A1(M), while Newcastle International Airport is 12.5 miles away.
