Description
Newburn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a striking and individual home that has been owned by the same family for many years. Now ready for a new owner, the property offers exciting potential to update or extend, subject to the usual consents, and to fully enjoy its exceptional setting. Standing on a stunning plot, Newburn provides the perfect canvas on which to create a truly wonderful family home.

The house opens into a wide and welcoming entrance hall, from which doors lead to the principal reception rooms. The bright and airy drawing room enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden through a picture window and features an attractive fireplace, complemented by a comfortable sitting area that also overlooks the garden. The generous dining room is an elegant and inviting space, ideal for entertaining, with doors opening into the conservatory. With its tiled floor, the conservatory is a delightful place to sit and relax while enjoying views across the garden.

The kitchen and breakfast room are arranged as two distinct yet connected spaces. The breakfast room is fitted with a range of built-in wall and floor units and offers ample space for a breakfast table, with an archway leading through to the kitchen. Here, there is a selection of built-in cupboards along with an integrated cooker and hob. A door opens to a useful walk-in larder, while a further door leads to the utility and plant room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile study or fourth bedroom, featuring a range of built-in cupboards.

Returning to the entrance hall, there is a principal bedroom with views over the rear garden, along with a further bedroom to the front of the house. A fully tiled bathroom with a four-piece suite serves this part of the home. To the rear of the hall is a useful walk-in pantry with a built-in dresser, adding to the home’s excellent storage.

An inner hall leading from the breakfast room provides access to a guest bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a separate bathroom and a separate guest cloakroom featuring an ornate hand basin and WC. A door at the end of the hall gives direct access to the garage.

Outside
Newburn is set well back from the road behind electric gates and is approached via a wide, sweeping gravelled driveway offering parking for several vehicles. A central flower bed and well-stocked borders frame the approach beautifully, while gated side access leads through to the rear garden. There is a double garage with electric up and over door, power and light plus a courtesy door to the rear garden.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the home’s most outstanding features. Designed to offer both privacy and enjoyment, they provide wonderful space for outdoor entertaining. A charming crazy-paved terrace leads onto a generous lawn, bordered by abundant planting and mature hedging. A swimming pool creates a perfect spot to enjoy sunny days, while a garden shed and plant shed to the side complete this exceptional outdoor space.
