Property description
Elmbank is a rare find; built in the 1920s with retained Arts & Crafts features, the impressive property is beautifully kept and comfortably presented throughout in tasteful tones. Positioned to the edge of the village, there is a super balance between vibrant village life and the peace of a countryside aspect.
Set against a picturesque backdrop at the foot of the Cheviots, Elmbank is a wonderful period property, lovingly maintained and upgraded in recent years, to offer a fantastic forever home in a popular village setting.
A generous private drive opens to the front; with a car port, timber garage and plenty of parking. The colourful garden frontage provides screening with sheltering hedging and mature trees, with access round either side of the property to the main section of garden quietly positioned to the rear.
Internally, an easy flow between the public rooms on the ground floor opens from the hallway; with an impressive lounge and dining area overlooking the rear aspect with fantastic bay windows and a host of charming features including a wood burning stove, original coving and cornicing. Following through the hall, a useful ground floor cloakroom with W/C, a quaint Butler’s Pantry and a wine store. The family kitchen is fully fitted with a range of cabinetry and country must-have aga, with the room offering plenty of space for relaxed dining and connecting through to a large utility room scullery, opening directly onto the garden.
Upstairs, a studio extension was created in around the 1960s, with its angular dimensions and panorama of windows very much in-keeping with a modern day architects design. Built as an artist’s studio with its inspiring viewpoint, the glazing has recently been replaced and it now makes for an enviable snug or den area, or could equally lend as a bedroom or work space.
A choice of comfortable and calming bedrooms open from the landing, each well-appointed and with feature fireplaces and unique vantage points over the neighbouring countryside. A jack & jill style shower room connects to bedroom two to create an ensuite facility, with a separate family bathroom across the landing.
Externally, the garden enjoys absolute privacy and has been beautifully tended to over the years. Wrapping around the property, there are plenty of spots to enjoy and seating areas to relax in. The garden is fully enclosed and level, with a patio, large stretch of lawn bordered by perennials and well established shrubs and roses, with useful outhouse storage, potting shed and wild flower bed.
