The Property
Whitegates is a charming and deceptively spacious stone-built property with a host of original features combined with thoughtful contemporary touches, high quality fixtures and fittings, and stylish, elegant décor. The property has been beautifully updated and maintained to create a lovely family home in the heart of a desirable Tyne Valley village.

The entrance hall with a handy downstairs cloakroom/WC, leads into the sitting room; a wonderfully light room bursting with character from the painted original stone walls to the impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with woodburning stove. Just off the sitting room is a smaller room which is an ideal space for a well-equipped study. Half glazed double doors open from the sitting room into the dining room, which again boasts charming period features such as painted stone walls and exposed timber ceiling beams, alongside a modern oak and glass staircase to the first floor. There is ample space for a large table and chairs and French doors open onto the patio to the west of the house. The kitchen has an excellent range of beautiful fitted wall and floor units with stone work surfaces, all in a neutral colour palette, and a wonderfully contrasting cherry red range cooker and matching extractor hood. There is an integrated larder fridge and dishwasher and a utility room for laundry and storage. Off the kitchen is a warm and inviting breakfast room/snug lit by sky lights with exposed timbers, a wood burning stove in the corner and doors out into the gardens to either side of the house.

To the first floor is a spacious dual aspect principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, and three further double bedrooms, all very well-appointed and decorated. They are served by a smart, contemporary family bathroom with walk-in shower plus a separate bath. The landing has two large storage cupboards and part of the loft has been converted with potential to be a great playroom, hobby room or children’s bedroom.

Externally
Whitegates has a forecourt garden to the front, but the main access is under the stone archway with built-in wood storage, through the double white gates. Here there is off-street parking and a gravelled seating area with colourful pots and flowers, to the east of the house. A large shed provides a perfect storage solution and the garden curves around past the greenhouse to reveal a well-tended lawn surrounded by mature bushes and trees. Two patio areas, one with a large raised pond and the other an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining can be found at the end of the garden.

A patio to the other side of the house, accessed from the dining room and the snug is another perfect spot to sit and the current owners have even set up a hot tub here.
