Linnet Gardens, Cottier Grange, Prudhoe, Northumberland

Within a smart new development on the outskirts of Prudhoe, is this attractive detached family house which has recently been extended to create a stunning, immaculately presented home.

With ample frontage and offering plenty of privacy, the accommodation is wonderfully bright and spacious with a sumptuous modern interior and triple glazing throughout. An impressive kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the home whilst two reception rooms, an office and five double bedrooms, two with an en suite and dressing room and a third with an en suite and balcony, complete this home.

Externally, manicured lawns and beautiful shrub borders are complemented by a double garage, off road parking and an electric vehicle charging point. From the front, a paved pathway with lawns on either side leads through a wooden pedestrian gate within a smart brick wall. The path continues, bordered by extensive lawns, shrub borders and seating area to the right, to the front door. As you step into the fabulous double height reception hall you are greeted by elegant wood panelling and a wonderful engineered wood floor, laid out in a herringbone design, which continues through to the principal reception room and the kitchen/breakfast/family room. Immediately on the right is the part tiled cloakroom with a WC and wash hand basin.

Following the hall around to the right is the superb double aspect living room with extensive wood panelling. Light pours into the room through bi-fold doors that open onto the seating area and gardens at the front of the house, and windows overlooking the rear garden. The focal point of the room is an impressive brick fireplace with a traditional wood burner on a stone hearth, plus a solid oak wood surround and mantel.

Off the hall and opposite the front door, is the delightfully cosy sitting room which benefits from French doors opening into the rear garden. On one side is an extensive range of bespoke fitted cupboards and shelving providing ample storage space. Adjacent is the elegant office/study with views over the rear garden, a stunning world map on one wall and bespoke fitted cupboards with shelves above. 

Immediately to the left of the hall is the sensational kitchen/dining room. The open plan blue and white kitchen has a wide range of cabinets with Silestone work surfaces, upstands and part tiled walls above. A one-and-a-half bowl inset stainless steel sink has a mixer tap, while integrated appliances include two Neff ovens, a large fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. The large central island incorporates a Neff electric hob with an extractor hood above and storage cupboards below, and a breakfast bar that seats up to four people. Beyond the kitchen is the bright and spacious dining area, which benefits from twin bi-fold doors opening into the front garden. Off the kitchen is the utility room which benefits from base units as well as Silestone work surfaces and upstands above, with an integrated washing machine and a part glazed door opening into the side access.

The carpeted, turned staircase with wood panelling on one side and a wood and glass balustrade on the other, leads you to the galleried first floor with light flooding in through a large facing window. The landing leads to four double bedrooms, the family bathroom and loft access. At the top of the stairs on the left is the ‘pink’ bedroom with fabulous views over the golf course at the rear. On one side of the room, you will find a contemporary freestanding bath sitting on a tiled floor with a tiled surround, a central mixer tap and a handheld shower. The en suite shower room is fully tiled with a WC, a wash hand basin and an independent shower cubicle with a glass door. Adjacent to the en suite is a short corridor that leads to the dressing room, which has a range of fitted wardrobes and shelving. 

To the right, at the top of the stairs, is the magnificent principal bedroom, which is part of the recent extension and overlooks the front garden, with an extensive range of bespoke fitted wardrobes offering ample hanging and storage space. The impressive luxury en suite has a white suite comprising a free standing bath, a shower cubicle with a glass door, a WC and wash hand basin with storage space below. 

Along the landing, and overlooking the rear garden, is the guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes along one wall. Adjacent is a further bedroom that overlooks the front garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes with sliding doors. The luxury family bathroom is fully tiled with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with a mixer tap and a handheld shower attachment, a WC, a modern circular wash hand basin sitting on a vanity unit which provides storage, and a separate shower cubicle with a glass door. 

A second staircase takes you to a fabulous further bedroom with en suite space for dressing area and a stunning balcony overlooking the golf course. There is also a useful storage/airing cupboard next to the bedroom.  

Externally, at the front of the property there is off road parking for three vehicles ahead of which is the double garage with twin doors; wood fence panels and hedges surround the superb wrap-around garden. The front garden has a central path with lawns and shrub borders on either side, leading to a large seating area. A side access on both sides of the property takes you to the rear garden, which backs onto the golf course, where you will find further lawned areas and two corner wood-chipped areas, one of which is home to a wonderful climbing frame and swing. 

Sitting centrally in the rear garden is a wood pathway that guides you to the fabulous, dedicated outside gym.
