63 Cornmoor Road represents one of Whickham’s finest detached houses. It is a beautiful period home which was originally constructed in the 18thcentury as a farmhouse.
In more recent times the property has been greatly extended and refurbished and now provides a beautiful family home in a very private and secluded setting. The property is set back from Cornmoor Road, with an impressive gated entrance and a lawned garden with tall trees giving good privacy. The driveway leads into an open courtyard and parking area, as well as to the double length garage. The rear inside gardens are private and enjoy southerly and westerly aspects. The external planning and illumination is impressive and complements the stone construction and design features.
The house itself is luxuriously appointed and has been refurbished very tastefully by the owners.
The accommodation includes an entrance vestibule leading through to the reception hall, which connects in turn to a shower room/wc.
The kitchen and breakfasting room is equipped with walnut cabinets and extensive built-in appliances. It leads through to a family area with walnut wood flooring and picture windows overlooking the rear gardens. The kitchen also links to a utility room, fitted to a similar high standard, with access to the gardens and the double garage.
Returning to the hall access to the old farmhouse, with its entrance hall opening through an archway to the dining room. It also connects to a study.
The main drawing room is a very tasteful room to the south and western corner of the house with a bay window and French double doors onto the terrace, as well as an open archway through to a cocktail bar.
The dining room leads on to an extension to the house which provides a family lounge with a staircase leading to the first floor of the house, where there is a playroom and entertainment area.
The ground floor also connects to a guest bedroom, providing a fifth double bedroom to the house.
The principal stairs link to the first floor where the master bedroom has a cathedral style ceiling, a well equipped dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom.
There are three further bedrooms to the first floor, as well as a family bathroom/wc.
The house has gas radiator central heating, double glazing set in wood frames and a comprehensive alarm system.
Cornmoor Road is regarded as one of the best residential addresses in Whickham and is well supported by neighbourhood shopping facilities, good restaurants and public inns and ease of access into the Team Valley, the Western Bypass and Newcastle city centre.
