Located in the much sought after village of Corbridge, is this truly magnificent and very special, unique home that is a rarity to the market in the North East of England.
Positioned behind a discreet and impressive entrance, the large electric gates with stone pillars connect to a majestic tree lined avenue and driveway which leads up to the private wooden gates of Howden Close.
The house has an impressive open courtyard and driveway, which accommodates many vehicles then leads around the side and rear of the house to a stone triple car garage, as well as linking behind the garage to a games/ snooker room.
Howden Close has a superb pillared portico with a large panelled door leading into the beautiful hallway and anteroom to the reception areas. The reception hallway has a fabulous marble fireplace and bay window overlooking the gardens.
The hallway, which has an elegant main staircase, connects to a further inner reception hallway with the main staircase, beneath which there is access into the cellars for general storage and wine. The drawing room is to the front and side of the house with a central fireplace and stunning window views, as well as a door to the outside terrace.
The family snug is to the opposite side of the hallway, and this leads on to the elegant dining room, which is a spacious room with a beautiful fireplace and vaulted ceiling.
Beyond this there is a utility room and laundry, as well as a cloakroom and a separate WC.
Close to the dining room there is a butler’s pantry and storage areas, as well as a second staircase leading to the accommodation above.
The superb spacious kitchen, dining & family room benefits from great natural light from its southern elevation and the lantern window above. The kitchen includes a fabulous large island with marble worktops, a 6 oven AGA and cooking range, as well as top of the range built in appliances.
The dining and family room have three sets of bi-folding doors which open onto the south-facing terrace and al fresco sitting area for outdoor dining and sitting. The electronic veranda canopies provide beautiful shade.
To the first floor there is a master suite and four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has impressive double doors and a large vaulted ceiling. The adjoining dressing room is fully fitted with bespoke wardrobes and a dressing table, this connects to the master bathroom which includes a sauna and steam shower.
Three of the other bedrooms have their own individual dressing rooms and bathrooms, whilst the fourth bedroom has access to a family bathroom. All the bedrooms have outstanding views over the gardens.
Howden Close is surrounded by circa 3 acres of carefully manicured and landscaped grounds, offering great privacy and seclusion with the tall hedge boundaries, close boarded fencing to the front, as well as wrought iron gates and railings to the entrance.
The grounds include a formal parterre and box hedging to the foreground of the house, with attractive pathways and walkways leading around water features and onto the terraces. Further on there are stone steps down to the paddock and the all weather tennis court.
The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation throughout, having been stripped back to brick and thoughtfully rebuilt with new services, a full electrical rewire and underfloor heating throughout. The result is a beautifully finished, move-in-ready home for its next occupant.
