The Property

Phoenix House is situated on the edge of the popular village of Hedley on the Hill within easy access of regional centres. The traditionally-styled, detached stone house was built in 2013 to a high specification with contemporary kitchen and bathrooms, under floor heating in the kitchen and integrated sound system. Phoenix House offers a lifestyle property with the opportunity to receive an income from the café and work from home. In addition there is already permission in place to run a Bed & Breakfast, providing a further potential income stream.

The front door opens into an entrance porch with windows to either side and tiled flooring, and a half-glazed door leads into a bright hallway that gives access to the principal reception rooms. To one side of the hall there is a generous sitting room which has a feature inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove, beamed ceiling and enjoys far-reaching northerly views. A glazed door from the sitting room leads to the garden room which offers versatile space and has windows overlooking the rear garden and glazed French doors out to the rear terrace. To the other side of the hall is a triple-aspect kitchen/dining room which offers a stunning everyday living space and also has a beamed ceiling. The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units with granite work surfaces, Belfast sink, solid-fuel Rayburn set in a brick inglenook, two-oven AGA module with electric ovens and gas hob, integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer, and ample space for a large dining table and chairs. Off the kitchen a rear hall gives access to a utility room which is fitted with a single sink and drainer, is plumbed for a washing machine, vented for a tumble dryer and has a door out to the rear garden.

The second kitchen, which is used for the café business, is fully tiled and fitted with a good range of units, 1½ bowl sink and drainer, separate preparation sink, has space for cooker, fridge and freezer, and has a window/serving hatch to the rear garden. Off the utility room there is a useful cloakroom fitted with a wash hand basin and WC. Stairs from the rear hall lead up to a spacious home office which has excellent storage, is fitted with air conditioning and has a gable window and four Velux windows offering views to the front and rear.

Stairs in the front hall lead up to a bright and spacious first floor landing which is flooded with natural light from windows to both aspects. The master bedroom enjoys views to the front and side and benefits from an en-suite shower room with contemporary suite. There are two further dual-aspect bedrooms on this floor, both of which have fitted wardrobes. These bedrooms are served by a well-fitted bathroom with bath, wash hand basin, and WC. Stairs from the landing lead up to two attic rooms which offer flexible use and storage.

To the front of Phoenix House a gated entrance gives access to a gravelled parking area and an attached double garage. The garage has an electric door, benefits from power and light and has a door which gives access to the house. The landscaped front garden has gravelled paths that lead to the house, side parking area/garden and gates on both sides of the house lead round to the enclosed rear garden. The front garden has an area of lawn and attractively planted beds.

To one side of the house there is a path with a number of fitted bike racks that leads to the rear paved terrace which has an electric awning, a large solid wood picnic table and a water feature.
