The Property
Headlam House is an attractive and immaculately presented three-bedroom home, located in the sought-after village of Cotherstone. Set within generous, beautifully landscaped rear gardens and enjoying scenic views, the property combines character and charm with a tranquil countryside lifestyle. It is offered for sale with no onward chain.
The property is entered through a wooden front door into a welcoming vestibule, where a practical cloak cupboard provides convenient storage for coats and footwear.
An internal door opens into the open-plan living space at the front of the home, showcasing exposed ceiling beams and an impressive traditional fireplace with an original surround and multi-fuel stove. Jim Lawrence curtain poles and door furniture compliment the oak doors, and oak flooring runs throughout and extends into a cosy snug area, where double patio doors lead directly to the rear garden, allowing natural light to fill the room.
A separate dining room, also positioned at the front, features oak flooring and exposed beams, enhancing the characterful feel of the property.
To the rear, the kitchen/diner is fitted with bespoke wall and base units by Newcastle Furniture Company, topped with contrasting work surfaces and incorporating a porcelain sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, electric oven, and separate gas hob, with plumbing for an integrated washing machine. A useful pantry cupboard and a ground floor WC, also supplied by Newcastle Furniture Company, add to the practicality of the space.
Stairs rise from the living room to the first-floor landing. The master bedroom is a spacious double room to the front, offering ample storage and a built-in cupboard. Bedrooms two and three are also well-proportioned doubles; one sits at the front with built-in storage, while the other overlooks the rear garden and enjoys pleasant views.
A study at the rear provides a versatile space suitable for a range of uses. It is fitted with bespoke Neville Johnson furniture and features a charming porthole-style window with views over the garden.
The family bathroom is finished with a contemporary white suite from Newcastle Furniture Company, including a concealed cistern WC, a wash basin set within a vanity unit, a separate shower enclosure with mains-fed shower, and bath.
Externally, a hardstanding area leads to the beautifully maintained rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders. A summer house offers an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxing in the warmer months and benefits from a power supply, whilst a garden shed offers further storage and benefits from a workbench and power. At the far end of the garden, a sheltered area includes a large greenhouse, a pond, and gated rear access.
