<br/> Aptly named after the majestic birds of prey that often soar above in this popular area of the Derwent Valley, Red Kite Cottage is a charming and impressive bungalow that has been superbly refurbished by the current owners. This stylish single-storey cottage should appeal to a couple or a small family looking for a home with a generous garden that combines a rural aspect with the convenience of easy access to village facilities and commuting to Newcastle.<br/><br/>The cottage has UPVC double glazing and gas central heating via combi. boiler, with the entrance along the private lane set back from Thornley Lane. The accommodation comprises: entrance hall accessed via the car port, a well-appointed open-plan kitchen/dining room that includes, to one end, sleek black units, Range-style cooker with gas oven and six-ring gas hob, integrated dishwasher and LVT flooring, and an area to the other end with space for a dining table. Off the kitchen is the stylish living room, which has a vaulted ceiling, a bio-ethanol burner in a traditional style fireplace and French doors out to the garden. There is a double bedroom that is also accessed from the dining area, with views over the garden and fields beyond. <br/><br/>A small inner hallway leads through to the third bedroom and the spacious main bedroom suite, which also looks out to the garden and has a stunning en suite shower room with a Velux window and is fitted with a beautiful suite that includes a shower cubicle, twin wash basins in vanity unit, traditional style toilet and demisting/illuminated mirror. <br/><br/>Off the entrance hall is the main bathroom, which is beautifully fitted with a stylish suite that includes a wash basin with marble-top vanity unit, bath with shower over and another traditional style toilet. There is also access into the spacious utility room, which provides plenty of room to be used as a study area as well as having fitted units and worktop, a sink and a tiled floor, with access through to the garage storage area which can be accessed via the garage door or a side door that leads out to the garden, which makes it ideal for dog owners, particularly with the easy access to some splendid countryside walks.<br/><br/>Externally, the cottage has gardens to the three sides, which are south/south-west facing and include a patio area, spacious lawns and fencing, which separate the garden to provide an ideal space for pets and which the current owners have used to keep chickens and goats. There are views over the surrounding fields and there are also sheds, while the car port provides a covered parking area.<br/><br/>Agent’s Notes -<br/>The private lane has shared access for the three properties and previous costs for the lane have been equally shared. There is also private drainage via a septic tank, which is shared with one neighbour but for which the current owners have not incurred any costs during their ownership (since 2021).<br/><br/>Location -<br/>Thornley Lane is situated at the edge of Rowlands Gill, just up from the junction with Lockhaugh Road / A694 and it is within 1.3 miles of Rowlands Gill village centre where there are some local shops and amenities (including a doctor's surgery, Boots pharmacy, Post Office and Tesco Express). Further up the road is the village of Winlaton and it is just over 7 miles from Newcastle city centre, 9.4 miles from the airport and under 3.5 miles from the nearest junctions of the A1(M). The nearest train station is Blaydon, which is approximately 3 miles away. Situated in the Derwent Valley, there are popular local countryside walks - including the Red Kite Trail (also named after the locally prevalent birds of prey) - and cycle routes, while the popular National Trust grounds of Gibside are also situated very close to the village centre.<br/><br/> <b>IMPORTANT NOTE TO POTENTIAL PURCHASERS & TENANTS:</b><br/> We endeavour to make our particulars accurate and reliable, however, they do not constitute or form part of an offer or any contract and none is to be relied upon as statements of representation or fact.
