The Property
Yoton is a unique and substantial detached property occupying a peaceful and picturesque position on the edge of the highly desirable Tyne Valley village of Corbridge. The accommodation includes six bedrooms and hugely flexible living space all presented to an immaculate standard and finished with high specification fixtures and fittings. The property is situated in generous gardens and grounds amongst beautiful rural surroundings to offer tranquility and privacy, whilst simultaneously providing convenient access to village amenities.
The principal living accommodation is positioned across the first floor and blends a traditional feel with high quality modern fixture and fittings and elegant muted colour palettes. The sitting room is light, airy and relaxing with a feature fireplace to one side, whilst the dining room offers more formal entertaining space. The warm heart of the home is the open plan kitchen/dining/family room which stretches across the property. The room is bathed in light from extensive glazing and two sets of French doors which open to the first floor balcony. The kitchen, dining and living areas are well-defined, spacious and inviting.
The bedroom accommodation is all on the second floor where six bedrooms and a family bathroom are accessed from an incredibly generous landing area and benefit from varying outlooks. The principal bedroom features an unusual vaulted ceiling and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom.
The ground floor/basement was created to make Yoton completely flood resilient by raising the whole house away from potential risk. The grand reception hall with flagged floor is an impressive welcome to the home. There is garage space along with a practical laundry room and further open utility areas.
Externally
Yoton offers a truly picturesque position with sensational rural surrounds, just moments from the centre of Corbridge and with convenient access to the village train station, rugby club and cricket club. The gated entrance leads to the gravelled driveway with silver birch trees marking the approach to Yoton. The beautiful gardens to the rear are mainly laid to lawn with high mature hedging providing peace and privacy.
An extensive patio area accessed directly from the house offers superb outdoor entertaining space with the luxurious addition of a pool with decked surrounds to one side. The gardens are overlooked by the first floor level balcony which features relaxing seating space. In addition there is planning permission (Northumberland County Council planning ref. 20/03102/FUL) to build an office in the garden to create the ideal spot to separate life and work commitments.
Neighbouring woodland offers added privacy. Tranquil walks wind down by the river and through the woods to Corbridge village centre.
Agents Note
The local area was flooded when the River Tyne burst its banks in the infamous flood of 2015 which was considered to be a once in 250 year storm. However Yoton now benefits from extensive flood resistance and resilience. The property was raised up by 2.6m in May 2016 taking the living space above any possibility of flooding. Since 2016 flood mitigation measures have been undertaken by the Environment Agency and significant improvements made to the local infrastructure and drainage.
