Versatile Loft Space The Property
Situated within a quiet cul-de-sac is a remarkable conversion of the former Shotley Bridge Village Hall, which has been beautifully renovated to create an exceptional contemporary home. Contained within a traditional-style exterior, the interiors showcase a mix of striking contemporary features. The entrance hall makes an immediate first impression with a sweeping glass-balustraded staircase and sculptural pendant lighting fixture, leading into a vast open-plan living area filled with natural light from grand chapel-style windows. The layout flows naturally, with defined yet open spaces for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. The main sitting area is anchored by a striking three-sided glass fireplace, forming both a visual centrepiece and a warm, inviting focal point. Steps lead down into the impressive kitchen that is spacious and well appointed, with a distinctive brutalist flair. A central island offers generous preparation space and an accompanying pantry provides further practicality. High quality integrated appliances elevate the kitchen’s functionality, including an AEG dishwasher, oven, and induction hob, paired with a NEFF oven and SMEG extractor hood. A Siemens microwave and fridge-freezer are seamlessly integrated and neatly housed in the pantry, ensuring a sleek, organised space. A separate reception room adjacent to the lounge area is a suitable option for a home office, snug, or additional sitting room. The ground floor also features a self-contained accommodation wing, complete with a spacious double bedroom and a contemporary shower room. With its own private entrance, this space presents an ideal arrangement for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or as a potential rental opportunity. Upstairs, the first floor opens onto a generous landing with a mezzanine overlooking the main living area - a perfect spot for a seating area or entertaining space. This level accommodates three beautifully appointed bedrooms, all benefiting from picturesque countryside views, along with a contemporary family bathroom. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and a premium stone resin freestanding bathtub and sink, renowned for its superior heat retention and durable, high-quality finish. At the far end of the property, the principal suite offers a luxurious private retreat, boasting an en-suite shower room with dual sinks, a separate vanity dressing area, and an adjacent walk-in wardrobe. For added privacy and convenience, the suite is also accessible via its own staircase leading directly to the ground floor. The second floor offers ample scope, with a flexible space that can be tailored to suit individual needs. Bathed in natural light from well-placed Velux windows, it provides the potential for up to three additional bedrooms or could serve as a games room, gym, study, or additional living areas, adapting effortlessly to a variety of lifestyles. Externally
Approached via a gated entrance, the property enjoys a private driveway with ample off-road parking. A generously proportioned terrace extends the living space outdoors, featuring a stylish canopy roof that allows for year-round entertaining. Whether hosting guests or enjoying quiet moments of relaxation, this well-designed outdoor area provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Agents Note
