The Property
59 Queens Road is an impressive period semi-detached house set in the popular village of Shotley Bridge. Perfectly blending attractive period features such as stained glass with a stunning contemporary interior and extensive gardens, the property is a wonderful family home, ready to move straight into.

The front door opens into a vestibule, which in turn leads into the elegant entrance hallway, with parquet flooring, arched coving over stairs rising up to the first floor and a door into the sitting room off to the right. The sitting room is decorated in relaxing tones with a sophisticated square bay window complete with cushioned window seat; an ideal reading nook, ornate cornicing and ceiling rose, and an original hardwood and tiled fireplace with gas fire.

The wonderful open plan zoned living space and kitchen is situated at the rear of the house. The family area has ample room for seating and sliding doors lead straight out into the large, lush rear garden. This room also features parquet flooring and a striking brass fireplace. The dining space offers a most delightful picture window at the head of the table, affording a view straight out onto the lawn and making inside dining feel al fresco no matter what the weather. The kitchen benefits from a range of bespoke wall and floor units, integrated appliances and a vast island bench, perfect for breakfasting and entertaining in the light flooding in through a second set of sliding doors to the garden. Off the kitchen is a large, well-equipped boot/utility room with modern storage, laundry facilities and an external side door. A handy downstairs WC also opens off the utility room and a door leads into a good storage space, behind the original garage door.

To the first floor are four beautifully presented double bedrooms, all with leafy, green views and two with charming feature fireplaces. The bathroom is luxuriously appointed and as you would expect to see in an interior design magazine, with modern free standing bath and separate shower, and gold coloured fittings.

Externally
59 Queens Road is approached via a driveway, offering parking for several vehicles. A lawn to the front with steps gives a grand country house feel and the lawn to the rear stretches away from the house, offering an ornate pond, planted borders, mature shrubs and trees, and an excellent place to play. A gorgeous children’s play house sits at the end of the garden, along with a small shed, and a further larger shed beside the house makes ideal storage for garden equipment and bicycles. A patio directly outside the doors into the kitchen and family room is perfect for entertaining and for soaking up the sun from the south.
