Stronsay is believed to have been originally constructed circa 1895 and occupies a magnificent mature garden site set back from Millfield Road in the heart of Whickham. The property is one of the original large mansion houses in Whickham which was purchased by the current owners in 2003. Since that time a number of improvement works have been carried out to the house. The house has a great deal of style and character, which is reflected in its presentation, with tall ceilings, fabulous cornicing and beautiful panelled doors. The property occupies a lovely garden site, with open lawned areas and a number of private sitting areas and terraces. Tall trees screen the house well and the well stocked borders are very impressive and will be keenly appreciated by horticulturists. The house has a number of outbuildings providing good storage. The property has double glazing to many windows, gas central heating, an alarm system and provides excellent family accommodation on three floors. An entrance reception hall leads on to a cloakroom/wc. The drawing room is at the front of the property with an impressive bay and fireplace. The sitting room is at the rear, also with a bay window and double doors onto the terrace. The dining room is at the front of the property and is well decorated with a period fireplace. The kitchen is at the rear and side of the house, with pine farmhouse kitchen units and built-in appliances. It leads on to a large utility and laundry room which is part of a double storey addition to the house at the rear. The laundry room connects to storage cupboards, as well as a substantial study and playroom. Above this a staircase connects to a large gymnasium and studio. The main staircase connects to the first floor landing and gives access to the master bedroom suite, with en-suite dressing room and bathroom. There are another two bedrooms to the first floor and a substantial family bathroom. To the second floor there are two further double bedrooms set within the roof space, one with an en-suite shower room. Stronsay is a highly impressive house, well located in Whickham, set back from Millfield Road and with easy access into the village centre. Whickham is ideally placed for its ease of access into the Team Valley, the Metro Centre and Newcastle city centre. Millfield Road is a very popular area of Whickham, well known for its high quality housing of which this is a fine example. A beautiful family home in a great location, viewing strongly recommended.
