"63 Cornmoor Road is a very fine house and one of the best we have seen in Whickham. It enjoys a lovely frontage onto Cornmoor Road with a stone curved wall surrounding the electrically operated gates that lead into the beautifully manicured gardens and grounds, with tall trees giving good screening and privacy and fabulous open lawned areas, as well as well stocked flower borders. The gardens are a significant feature of the house, both to the front and the rear, where they enjoy a great deal of afternoon and evening sunshine.

The drive leads down, with uplighting, to the circular drive, which surrounds the tall mature beech tree, and access also leads into the garage which has been shortened at the rear to provide a large gymnasium with a temporary partition wall, which could easily be removed if you prefer to have a bigger garage in the future.

The house itself has great quality and style with its stone construction and lovely Inglenook porch, which leads into the very tasteful entrance vestibule, with the hallway connecting to a ground floor shower room WC, as well as leading off into the old part of the house where there is a staircase leading to the first floor and access to the drawing room at the rear. The drawing room has a beautiful marble fireplace and double doors leading out onto the gardens, as well as a very attractive drinks cocktail bar.

The entrance hall leads into what was previously a dining hallway, which could be utilised as such again, and has access separately to a family snug or study room.

The second sitting room is part of a later addition to the house, on the front elevation, which has the potential to be a separate annex or independent relative s area, with the lounge having a staircase connecting to the bedroom above and also connecting to the ground floor, where there is a large double bedroom.

Returning to the main entrance hallway, to the opposite side of the entrance, access leads into the stunning kitchen breakfast room which has been refurbished about 2 years ago, with a range of bespoke grey painted cabinets and fabulous worktops, as well as a breakfasting bar and a curved seating area with a matching handmade walnut circular table, which could be available by separate negotiation. The whole of the panelling around the kitchen is impressive, extending to provide a media wall with plasma screen TV and walnut backing and is open through to the breakfast and lounge area, with great natural light from the lantern gallery above. The lighting in the kitchen is stunning and there is an extensive range of expensive built in appliances.

The kitchen leads onto a useful utility and laundry room which connects through to the gymnasium and into the garage.

The main staircase leads up to the first floor of the house where there are four good double bedrooms and three bath and shower rooms, all of which have been refurbished to the highest of standards with exquisite suites, fabulous tiling and beautiful fittings throughout. The master bedroom has an apex cathedral ceiling and is a great feature room with a very high standard of ensuite dressing facilities; many of the other bedrooms also have built in wardrobes.
Cornmoor Road itself offers very easy access to a variety of local restaurants, butchers, greengrocers, local schools, churches and village hall. Whickham has a great community feel, with the ease of being a short journey to Newcastle City centre distance 5 miles.

A truly stunning family home which has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout. Early viewings are highly recommended.
