North Northumberland is a beautiful county and offers diverse landscapes from its Heritage Coastline with miles of un-spoilt beaches and areas of historical interest such as Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle and the Farne Islands, whilst inland are the Cheviot Hills and the rolling countryside of national parks. To the north is the Scottish Borders renowned for its shooting and fishing.

Description

Waimate is a handsome five bedroom Edwardian family home set in the popular location of East Ord. The House is accessed up a private drive off Glenside Park, just off the village green. The driveway runs down the side of a front formal garden to a turning circle in front of the house. There is ample parking for numerous vehicles.

From the turning circle at the front of the house a storm door gives way to a vestibule with a tessellated tiled floor. The vestibule opens to an inner central hallway with family accommodation on either side. The open plan kitchen family room is beautifully decorated and offers ample space for a large dining table. There is a Charnwood Stove and French doors which lead a lawned garden. The kitchen is positioned around a large central island and offer a range of wall and base units. On the other side of the reception hallway is a comfortable family sitting room which in turn leads into the sunroom, currently used as a gym and an additional sitting room. The ground floor accommodation also offers a large boot/utility room and a W.C which services the public space on the ground floor.

A central internal stair leads to a first floor landing. This floor has three double bedrooms, a generous family bathroom and a separate shower room. A further internal stair leads to the top floor which allows for two further double bedrooms, (one currently being used as a home office) and an adjoining shower room.

Garden Grounds

A tarmacadam driveway leads past a large period glasshouse that measures about 22m x 4m. The drive sweeps round and down the side of a large level formal garden which is mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and mature trees surrounding it. A number of outbuilding lie at the end of the drive on the south side of Waimate which are currently used as useful garden storage. Surrounding the house is a paved pathway that leads to a patio area and garden off the kitchen and a decked area off the family sunroom. Beyond the decking is a further lawned garden and patio which is surrounded by mature trees. At the bottom of the lawned garden is a small burn with a wooded area of garden land beyond.
