This modern property is perfect if you love to entertain

Somersby House is a luxurious, modern home located in the sought-after neighbourhood of Darras Hall in the village of Ponteland, not far from Newcastle.

The entrance hall is stunning, with a vaulted ceiling and skylight. On the ground floor is a contemporary, open-plan space, centred around a wood-burning fire. The bespoke kitchen features integrated appliances including an island breakfast bar and a wine fridge, and runs parallel to the dining space. The living room joins on from these spaces and opens into the bright orangery. This is the perfect home for entertaining, both indoors and outdoors, as dual-opening sliding doors lead seamlessly to the garden. Both indoors and outdoors benefit from a SONOS sound system and the whole downstairs interior is underfloor heated.

A floating staircase leads up from the entrance hall, where there are four bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom has a gorgeous Juliet balcony which overlooks the garden, as well as an ensuite with a freestanding bath and walk-in rain shower. The second bedroom also has a ensuite and there is an additional third bathroom, plus a laundry room, on this floor.

Back downstairs is a boot room, with Mowlem & Co cabinetry, which leads through to outside and has two doors to the entrance hall. There is also a WC downstairs, as well as a storage space and double garage which has the potential to be repurposed into a home gym.

The garden is well landscaped, with a spacious lawn and a private stream with bridge. Planting here includes lavender, silver birches and laurels.

The property is located in Darras Hall, one of Newcastle’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Located in the village of Ponteland, local amenities include supermarkets, restaurants and bars. Newcastle Airport is about six minutes away by car and the schooling in the area is excellent. Newcastle city centre can be reached easily by car or public transport, only 10 miles away.
