3 bed detached house for sale

Knaesborough Close, Bedlington NE22

Why Do People Buy A Modern Family Home Then Wish It Had A Bigger Garden, More Parking And Somewhere Quiet To Work? Possibly the biggest and best 3 bed detached on Hazelmere, with a large landscaped back garden, home office, garage and 4 parking spaces.

A bigger garden, more parking and somewhere quiet to work, without losing a bedroom. These aren't optional extras, they're the things that make a big difference to your life every single day.

The family that buys this house won't be wishing they'd bought something bigger six months down the line because it’s properly future proofed - with everything already taken care of.

The same family has lived here since it was built in 2001 and you can tell they've spent time thinking about what a modern family actually needs.

The original garage has been converted into a dedicated home office - a proper room with its own space and its own door off the hall. A new garage has been built on the side, so you haven't lost the storage space or the secure parking. Out front, there's a double driveway in front of the old garage and the new - meaning space for four cars, a garage and a home office, all accounted for before you've even opened the front door.

The living room runs almost the full depth of the house - close to 23 feet (7m) from front to back - so there's room to zone it properly into a sitting area and a dining space without either feeling cramped. Sliding doors at the far end open straight into the conservatory, which is a good size with a brick base, glazing on three sides and its own heating. It works as a playroom, a sunny reading spot or just somewhere to sit with a coffee while the kids are in the garden. In warmer months, the whole back of the house opens up nicely.

The garden is worth talking about next. On a corner plot, it's noticeably bigger than most on the estate - with a choice of decked areas for sitting out, an artificial turf lawn, raised beds and a shed for the usual garden clutter.

The kitchen is a solid working kitchen with white units, dark granite-effect worktops, a cooker and a dishwasher, with a separate utility room off the back - so the washing machine and dryer stay out of sight where they belong.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has mirrored sliding wardrobes and its own ensuite. That ensuite is a cut above what you'd normally find - with a large walk-in shower behind a statement black-framed glass door, a grey vanity unit with rustic wooden shelving and a stylish framed mirror.

The two further bedrooms are both good doubles, and the family bathroom has been upgraded with another walk-in shower enclosure and a floating vanity unit with a vessel sink.

Hazelmere is one of Bedlington's most popular estates for good reason - it's well kept, well connected and genuinely family-friendly. Meadowvale Primary is only a 13-minute walk from the front door, and if you need the town centre, it's five minutes by car.

When people buy here they tend to stay a while, which usually tells you something.

The family that's lived here since it was built in 2001 has clearly loved it - and they’ve spent the last 25 years upgrading it, extending it and making it even better.

And that means the family that buys it next is going to feel exactly the same way - they may just get the biggest and best 3 bedroom detached on the estate.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this one - get in touch to arrange your private viewing.
