Yopa are delighted to welcome to the market this astonishingly attractive historic stone-built period country home, with parts initially built in the 1800s. The home is situated in Cresswell and offers uninterrupted and unparalleled views over the Northumbrian coastline, making this one of the most outstanding family homes in Northumberland.
The local ponds attract an abundance of rare birds with a hide ideally located for bird watchers and the coastal path is ideal for scenic walks and cycling.
Cresswell is a quiet, prestigious, beautiful seaside village, well placed on the Northumbrian coastline at the beginning of the fabulous seven-mile stretch of Druridge Bay and ideally located near to local amenities and the historic market towns of Morpeth and Alnwick. It is home to a 15th Century Pele tower which is undergoing a total refurbishment it also boasts a welcoming small village hall with picturesque views. There is easy access to the A1 for commuting to Newcastle city centre, and public transport links with bus services into Morpeth town centre and the nearby train station for services to Newcastle, Edinburgh, York and London Kings Cross.
The property is framed by a stone wall with large entrance pillars and impressive wrought iron gates opening to a gravel driveway that leads towards the front of the property. On either side of the driveway there are beautifully manicured gardens with planted borders showcasing a variety of flora and greenery and providing the most attractive welcoming countryside aspect as you enter. The stone wall buffers a rockery style arrangement at the front making a very interesting feature, together with a lovely area at the side which makes a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the magnificent coastal views. The stone wall which extends down to the beach at Cresswell is owned by the property, in addition to the garden which continues down towards the sea where you can appreciate the sea air and its relaxing effect as you walk towards the coastline. Continuing round, the extensive garden opens into a courtyard at the rear of the property. This grand area provides ample parking for vehicles, along with a circular block paved area which again is another perfect spot in which to relax and enjoy the stunning coastal vista. Tucked in the corner there is a stone wall which envelopes an area, currently home to a pizza oven, which adds an exciting aspect to the outside dining experience and makes this an incredibly sociable area in which to enjoy entertaining family and friends. The views of the coast and the property from this point are truly incredible. The property has hardwood windows, doors and floors, oil central heating, an alarm system and all the other usual mains connections.
This incredible home further offers a separate original stone built outbuilding, previously stables but now a garage with roller doors at either end. Due to the configuration and the space above, this could easily be converted into another property, an annexe or holiday let, subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions, or it could make a wonderful home office area, detached but still close to the main property. It offers solar slates, electric and lighting within and three separate areas of entry. The first building is a single garage and at the far end another roller shutter door opens into a second single garage. In the centre there is a cart-arched doorway leading to another fantastic storage area which houses the staircase to the room above. All these buildings are stone and all offer access to the breath-taking sea views, allowing you to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The solar pva system currently generates around £1,200 per annum, as well as providing energy for the house. An additional solar array pre-heats the house‘s hot water.
Entry is via the original wooden front door into a beautiful open hallway with wooden flooring to the floor. Solid wood doors with attractive black handles and filigree-style hinges adorn all the internal doors throughout. The first main door you arrive at leads to a dual aspect reception room. The views over towards the sea float beautifully into this room and you can sit and enjoy watching the sea and the white horses formed by the waves from this incredible space. The room has been impeccably decorated and incorporates a stone fireplace and hearth with a wood burner which creates a lovely focal point. The supreme height of beamed ceiling coupled with the ornately designed wooden windows, brass switches and sockets and Victorian-style radiator creates the perfect atmosphere to this significant room.
Opposite, you arrive at the second reception room, the dining room. This room has a single window overlooking the front garden. The windowsill is deep enough to create a window seat to make a further feature of the room and a place to enjoy the unparalleled views. This room also contains a stone fireplace and hearth with a wood burner. The room incorporates beams to the ceiling, grand skirting boards, a Victorian-style radiator and dimmer switches perfect for creating an ambience suited to every occasion.
The wooden flooring in the hallway continues throughout the ground floor, creating a seamless transition between all the areas. There is a good sized under-the-stairs cupboard perfect for storing cloaks and such like. A door leads from the hallway area out to a porch area which is home to the main front door leading out to the street. The arched doorway with a slate tiled floor with a white insert, exposed stone walls and semi vaulted ceiling, creates an impressive entrance. A window allows the views of the green in Cresswell opposite to be appreciated.
The downstairs WC has a window overlooking the main courtyard and comprises a close-coupled Heritage-style WC and hand basin. The room is finished with a stunning black sparkly tiled floor, spotlights to the ceiling and a Victorian-style radiator. Adjacent to this is a downstairs shower-room with sauna. This room is fully tiled and comprises a corner shower cubicle, a Heritage-style pedestal wash hand basin and the wooden sauna with a large wooden glass door. There is a window overlooking the courtyard which allows natural light to enter. The spotlights to the ceiling adds to the lighting. This room is a wonderful addition to the home, especially in those winter months!
The third reception room is currently used as a games room/gym and has a lovely large window and a pair of French doors that lead out to the rear courtyard. There is a further window at the far end which allows the views over to the coastline to enter the room. This room could also be converted to an annexe due to its location and proximity to other rooms in this wing.
Returning to the main hub of the hallway, another wooden door takes you to the fourth reception room. This room, due to its size, could be used as the main lounge. As with the other reception rooms it has a lovely height of ceiling, and it also benefits from a stone fireplace with a wood burner. There are three ornate windows, two to the front and one overlooking the courtyard. Again, this is an impeccably presented room creating an atmosphere of absolute grandeur and comfort.
The kitchen/diner offers plenty of solid wood wall and base units complimented by a very stylish dark granite work surface. The kitchen has been incredibly well designed and incorporates glass display units and plate racks. It features a cream-coloured aga which is wonderful for keeping the room lovely and warm during the winter months. There is an integrated dishwasher and a large Belfast sink with built-in drainer with a brass tap behind. The large centre island, with matching granite work surface, incorporates a wine rack and storage baskets in addition to a breakfast bar area. The space is finished perfectly with lovely slate tile flooring and spotlights to the ceiling. Natural light comes courtesy of three windows to the rear capturing those stunning sea views and one window to the front looking towards the Pele Tower. The kitchen opens out into the dining room end where you take couple of steps up onto a lovely wood floor. This room offers plenty of space for a large dining room table and accompanying chairs. There is a further window overlooking the countryside to the front and there is another wood door which leads out to the front of the property. There is loft access above.
A further wooden door leads to a rear hallway with wooden flooring which in turn leads out to the rear courtyard. From this rear hallway you enter a large utility room which contains the hot water cylinder and the oil boiler. There is another very large original Belfast sink, as well as plumbing and space for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and space for a fridge freezer, as well as loft access from this room and a window overlooking the rear of the property.
Returning to the main hallway, the impressively wide staircase, with central carpet, stair rods, ornate cast iron balusters and original handrail, leads the first floor. This is an incredibly light and bright space courtesy of the large window at the top allowing natural light to bathe this area so beautifully and offering wonderful westerly views over agricultural land towards the Pele Tower. The grand hallway leads towards the upstairs garden room, which again offers the most amazing views. A wooden glass door takes you into this sublime space, finished with anthracite-coloured windows and doors and wooden flooring. A vaulted ceiling with two Velux windows adds to the light and delight of this room. A pair of French doors lead out onto a raised terraced area, tiled with a gravel surround, allowing the panoramic sea views to transcend from every angle towards the horizon– utterly breath-taking.
Leading from the hallway there is a stunningly large shower room with wooden flooring and a Heritage-style suite comprising a pedestal wash hand basin and a white WC. A spacious shower cubicle with wet-walling and a waterfall shower head forms the central feature. A large window overlooking the courtyard allows natural light to enter and ceiling spotlights add to the brightness.
Continuing along the hallway you arrive at the dual aspect master bedroom, that offers unprecedented views of the countryside towards the Pele Tower and over the coastline. The room offers two sets of built-in wardrobes perfect for housing all those bedroom accessories neatly. The ensuite is superb. It is fully tiled the floor and walls with spotlights to the ceiling and with a window overlooking the courtyard. The suite comprises a beautiful Slipper bath with free-standing tap, a large shower cubicle with a waterfall showerhead over, a close coupled designer-looking WC with a lovely round sink on top of a solid wood vanity unit finished with a stunning brown granite surface.
