A very good opportunity to acquire a beautiful and impressive modern day mansion in a prime area on Runnymede Road. Built on 1.6 acres of magnificent grounds is this luxury, detached house constructed in 1999/2000. The property was developed for the current owner and has been very well designed and maintained. There are electrically operated entrance gates leading to a courtyard and parking area with a double integral garage with electric doors.
River Lodge is set back on Runnymede Road, one of the most popular residential areas of Ponteland and Darras Hall. The house is very well situated on the western and northern elevations of Runnymede Road and the gardens are a very important feature of this house, which extend to around 1.6 acres (measurement to be confirmed) The gardens at the rear enjoy beautiful open lawned areas with tall, majestic trees surrounding its boundaries. The gardens extend over a wooden bridge over the River Pont onto a further lawned area, adjacent to open countryside.
The house itself was built for the owners in 1999/2000 and was personally supervised by the owner who set out a high standard and has maintained the quality of the property since its construction. The house offers a beautiful appearance with impressive wrought iron gates which are electrically operated and open up to the courtyard area with parking area for many cars, as well as connecting to the double, integral garage which has electrically operated doors.
The house itself has a lovely entrance vestibule with two cloakrooms and double internal doors connecting to the reception hall. The stunning hall has a beautiful, handmade ash wood, gull wing staircase with galleried landing above. Connecting from the hall are many oak solid wood panelled doors leading to the ground floor accommodation. There is a lovely family room to the front of the property with beautiful fireplace, and a study/professional office at the side. The main drawing room is at the rear with bay window overlooking the gardens as well as a lovely, highly impressive fireplace with wood burning stove. The dining room is to the centre and rear of the house and overlooks the magnificent gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room also leads from the hall and is a very large room with limed oak cabinets, extensive built-in appliances as well as a four oven AGA and double doors leading to the raised patio and terrace. The kitchen also connects to the utility/laundry room where there is a shower room/wc and access to the double garage. To the first floor the master bedroom is beautifully equipped and fitted with Hammonds wardrobes and bespoke furniture and leads on to the luxury en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and double shower, as well as a four person sauna. The other three double bedrooms all have en-suite bath or shower facilities and are very well appointed and are large rooms, two having fitted wardrobes. The fifth double bedroom is used as a first floor lounge/playroom and has double doors connecting to the second floor of the property where the roof void shows obvious potential for further bedroom accommodation if required.
