This stunning, stone-built detached home is one of just two newly-constructed on a quiet site within Stocksfield.

It offers contemporary open-plan living, ideal for the demands of today’s families, with the majority of the ground floor providing an L-shaped dining kitchen, complemented by a large living room.

The Oaks has been delivered to the market by property developers Riley, Fraser and Ostell, whose directors all live in the Tyne Valley. They realised that the tranquillity and location of the building land would be ideal for their next development.

Partner Mark Fraser said: “The Oaks is in an idyllic location within Stocksfield and the village is a popular place to live – a thriving community with easy access to the train station and excellent road links, reputable local schools and a popular cricket ground.

The house, which was built by R .Armstrong Building Services, has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is accessed via a private gated entrance, which it shares with the other property in The Oaks, leading to a block-paved driveway, detached garage and gardens to front, side and rear.

The accommodation has been well designed and finished to a very high standard creating a bright, spacious and versatile home with high-spec features. The internal doors are oak with brushed steel furniture while on-trend grey-effect flooring flows from the reception hall into the lounge and dining area.

“The open-plan kitchen and family den is my favourite spot,” Mark said. “The kitchen is particularly attractive, being full of quality features such as soft-closure cabinets, contrasting Corian work surfaces and smoked glass splashbacks, boiling water tap over the sink and excellent array of appliances.”

As well as a breakfast bar illuminated by contemporary three-pendant lighting, there is ample space for a dining table and chairs. The family area or den has bifolding doors opening to a paved patio with the garden beyond. A door opens from the bright and spacious dual-aspect reception to the good-sized lounge which also has a dual aspect and is illuminated by LED spotlights.

A utility with plumbing and cloakroom complete the ground-floor layout.

On the first floor the four bedrooms and family bathroom are arranged off the landing which, like the kitchen, has LED spotlights.

The master bedroom overlooks the front garden and has the benefit of a luxury en-suite with walk-in digital shower with rainfall shower head and wood-effect ceramic floor tiles with contrasting ceramic wall tiling.

One other bedroom is at the back of the house with the remaining two at the front. One of them has a pull-down ladder to the loft.

The family bathroom also has wood-effect ceramic floor tiles with contrasting ceramic wall tiling plus a panelled bath with mixer tap and shower over.

“The gardens are ideal for a family, being child-friendly, private, spacious and on flat ground,” Mark said. “The front is open plan and laid to lawn and there’s gated access to the side and rear gardens which are lawned with the block-paved patio outside the family room.

“The detached stone-built garage – which has an electric roller shutter door and power – completes the footprint of this lovely new home. I am confident it will attract a lot of interest from people keen to relocate or move to this friendly village.”
