Occupying an idyllic position adjacent to open fields and Beamish Woods, "Shutters" offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle in one of the region's most highly regarded village locations. Situated at the end of a small private close, accessed through a small iron gate, this immaculate, spacious property has beautifully maintained surrounding gardens which offer seclusion and privacy with a lovely woodland backdrop. The appeal of the outside space is matched by the elegant, beautifully appointed interior. The property was extended by the current owners in 2007, creating a spacious layout over both floors, ideally suited to family living.

On the ground floor, the central hall opens to the main living room, which extends to over 26ft, running the full depth of the house. Large picture windows and French windows take full advantage of the open views over the gardens and woodland beyond, and there is a gas-fired stove. From the living room, double doors open to the 19ft garden room, surrounded by gardens which are well-screened by mature hedges. The open plan kitchen and dining room are a particular feature of the property. Extending to around 24ft, the dining area opens to the well-equipped kitchen, with oak units, black granite worktops, and integrated appliances.

On the first floor, the four-bedroom design has been reconfigured to create a dressing room serving the master bedroom. Enjoying beautiful views, the main bedroom measures over 17ft and includes a spacious, well-appointed en suite bathroom, featuring a free-standing, roll top bath with shower. There are two further double bedrooms and a good-sized family shower room with a large walk-in shower enclosure. The garage is situated at the end of the footpath. The specification includes gas central heating via radiators with a Worcester Bosch combination boiler, an alarm system, and uPVC double glazed sash windows. This is a very special home, and early viewing is highly recommended.

Beamish is an extremely sought-after rural village accessible to Chester-le-Street, Stanley, Gateshead, and Newcastle upon Tyne. It is set within very pleasant and scenic surroundings suited to buyers looking for rural village life. There are nearby forest walks in Beamish Woods and the adjacent Coast to Coast cycle track, and the village also has the Beamish Museum, together with village pubs, restaurants and the very popular Beamish Park Golf Club.
