The Property
The Rosewood is a substantial five-bedroom stone house, newly built by Cussins and forming part of the Sycamore Place development. Known for their carefully considered, smaller-scale schemes, Cussins have delivered a specification here that focuses on both quality and practicality, with professionally designed kitchens incorporating Bosch appliances, contemporary bathrooms with chrome fittings, and energy-efficient construction including UPVC double glazing and an air source heat pump.
A central hallway provides a clear and welcoming point of entry, establishing the home’s sense of proportion from the outset. To the front, a formal dining room is framed by a bay window, creating a composed setting for entertaining, while to the rear, the principal reception room enjoys a quieter aspect across the garden.
Extending the full depth of the house, the kitchen, dining and family space is designed to work as a natural focal point, combining scale with everyday practicality. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry and laminate work surfaces with matching upstands, the kitchen is equipped with Bosch appliances including an oven, induction hob, extractor and integrated dishwasher. The layout allows for clear zoning between cooking, dining and informal seating, while bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, extending the space in the warmer months. A separate utility room sits alongside, providing additional storage and laundry space, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered.
Upstairs, the first floor centres around the principal bedroom suite, where a dressing area leads through to a private en suite. Two further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with both bath and separate shower.
The second floor introduces two additional bedrooms and a further bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, independent living space or home working.
Bathrooms and en-suites are finished with a clean, contemporary approach, featuring chrome sanitaryware and fittings, with en-suites benefiting from glass shower enclosures and rainfall-style showers. Porcelanosa tiling is used throughout, creating a cohesive and durable finish.
Externally
To the front, a neatly arranged and turfed garden establishes a welcoming approach. To the rear, a paved terrace provides an immediate outdoor seating area, positioned to connect directly with the kitchen and family space, while the remainder of the garden is left as prepared soil, offering flexibility for purchasers to complete landscaping to their own requirements. A detached double garage and private parking complete the setting.
Agents Note
A management fee of approximately £332.31 per annum is payable, contributing towards the maintenance of shared areas within the development, including the private road, street lighting, green spaces and foul water pumping station.
Key features
Description
The Development
Sycamore Place is an exclusive collection of thoughtfully designed homes by Cussins, comprising a limited number of three and five-bedroom houses arranged within a carefully planned village setting. The development has been conceived with a clear emphasis on longevity and architectural integrity, with each property constructed in natural sandstone to reflect the established character of Northumberland’s rural villages.
Across the scheme, the homes are individually designed yet cohesive in their appearance, with a consistent use of traditional materials, considered proportions and well-balanced elevations. The result is a development that feels established from the outset, rather than imposed, with each house sitting comfortably within its plot and the wider streetscape.
Internally, the properties are arranged to accommodate modern family life, with a strong focus on open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces alongside more defined reception rooms, allowing for both everyday living and formal entertaining. Many of the house types are arranged over three floors, offering a level of flexibility that adapts easily to changing requirements, whether for growing families, home working or guest accommodation.
Attention has also been given to practical elements, with features such as utility rooms, multiple bathrooms, dressing areas and generous storage incorporated as standard. Externally, each home benefits from private gardens, off-street parking and either integral or detached garaging, ensuring the development functions as well as it presents.
Sycamore Place offers a considered approach to modern housebuilding, combining traditional craftsmanship with layouts designed for contemporary living, within a carefully composed and well-proportioned setting.
