"A beautifully presented barn conversion with paddock set in picturesque open countryside"
The Property
Situated within a small cluster of picturesque red brick and pantile barn conversions, 1 Meadow View offers elegant and contemporary styling with character touches in a tranquil countryside location. Panoramic open fields reach down to a curve of the River Tees, offering pleasant walking opportunities.
The large window beside the front door results in a bright, welcoming entrance hall opening onto a convenient downstairs cloakroom/WC and the spacious kitchen/dining room. Three curved byre windows run the full length of this room, providing a wonderful traditional contrast to the contemporary kitchen and décor. Cream Shaker style units combine with dark granite worktops, whilst modern integrated appliances; two ovens and a top oven, microwave, dishwasher, two fridges and two freezers, work alongside a Belfast sink. An island bench houses an induction hob with extractor above and an excellent breakfasting and entertaining area. There is also ample space for a large dining table and a family seating area. This room also benefits from an air-conditioning unit. Just off the kitchen, a handy utility room provides further storage including a large understairs cupboard, another sink and is plumbed for a washing machine.
The sitting room is an equally smart and spacious room with two byre windows, one of which has been fitted with a door, allowing access straight out into the garden. A wood burning stove in the fireplace adds a further hint of period charm and thoughts of cosy winter evenings.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a gorgeous, relaxing room with windows to three sides, framing stunning views of never-ending green fields. This room also benefits from an air-conditioning unit. The en-suite shower room is smart and modern and a large walk-in wardrobe is a luxurious addition. Three further bedrooms branch off the landing, all immaculately and elegantly presented and serviced by a modern, well-appointed family bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The fourth bedroom is currently utilised as a home office.
Externally
The well-kept driveway curves up to the Meadow View properties, taking in the countryside scenery. An area to one side offers parking for a good many vehicles and there is further private parking on the paved area to the front of number 1. There is also a double garage in a separate detached block, opposite the property.
Enclosed lush manicured lawns wrap around the property on three sides with paved areas to the side and rear, providing an excellent low-maintenance garden and a perfect place to sit outside to relax or entertain or for children or pets to safely run around in.
A lovely additional feature to the exterior of 1 Meadow View is the original barn stone staircase leading up the side of the property.
A separate paddock of approximately 0.8 acres is situated across the driveway from the property and offers a variety of uses for the new owners. The property covers 1.17 acres in all.
