See Inside this Northumberland Mansion with its Own Pool
Brooklands is an extensive home with its own swimming pool, and a hot tub in the garden
With extensive living space, underfloor heating throughout, a first floor studio annexe, an impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a top of the range CCTV and fingerprint entry system, electrically-operated blinds and landscaped gardens, this is a remarkable property.
As you approach Brooklands, a sweeping driveway guides you to the front of the house and around to the triple garage. As you enter the grand reception hall, a bespoke central staircase grabs your attention. Through double glazed doors to the left is the generously proportioned double-aspect drawing room with a beautiful gas effect fireplace.
To the right of the hall is the playroom, and adjacent to this is the cloakroom.
Accessed via the hall is the amazing kitchen/breakfast/family room with bi-fold doors onto the granite entertaining terrace. The kitchen is fully fitted with an extensive range of cabinets with Corian work surfaces and upstands above. A double Corian sink has a mixer tap while integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, two dishwashers, three ovens and a coffee machine. Central to the kitchen is a unique U-shaped island with ample storage cupboards and a five-door Aga with induction hob. On one wall is an inset electric-operated gas effect fire, while a walk-in pantry is off to one side.
The adjacent utility room also has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, with a door to a dedicated laundry/drying room, and a fitted dog shower. Down a short hallway is a boot room, beyond which are the stairs to the annexe above the garage and a door into the garage.
From the kitchen/breakfasting area, doors lead to the leisure complex with a state-of-the-art swimming pool, two separate shower rooms, plenty of space for entertaining and doors opening to the outside terrace.
The charming formal dining room, also accessed from the magnificent kitchen, has glazed doors to the garden.
There’s a galleried first floor landing, and an inviting snug with bi-fold doors which open out onto a private wood-decked roof terrace.
The principal bedroom suite has a dressing room, a luxurious ensuite bathroom and patio doors that open onto a south-facing balcony, giving you views over the garden.
Three further bedrooms are on the first floor, two of which have dressing rooms as well as ensuite bathrooms. The third bedroom has access to a family shower room.
Off the second floor galleried landing is a double-aspect cinema/games room with a door to a Jack ‘n’ Jill shower room, and at the back of the cinema room is a dedicated office. Adjacent to the cinema room is a double bedroom, with access to the Jack ‘n’ Jill shower room, while on the other side of the landing are two further double bedrooms both of which benefit from a Jack ‘n’ Jill shower room.
Above the triple garage is a studio annexe incorporating an open-plan living room/bedroom with a kitchen area at one end and a separate shower room.
Outside, a pillared entrance with a sliding electronic gate opens onto a tarmac driveway with parking for several vehicles. The drive leads to the triple garage, which has remote control up-and-over doors. The garden and grounds are beautifully maintained and extend to approximately 0.8 acres and are bordered by wood fence panels, trees and hedges to provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, while the full width terrace provides plenty of space for large family gatherings and entertaining. At one end of the terrace is a covered seating area complete with a wood burning stove for the colder months of the year, a pizza oven, a food preparation area and a wine fridge, while adjacent is a hot tub.
In Tranwell Woods, this is part of a small enclave of exclusive, luxury properties. The town of Morpeth is just a short distance away, and the A1 is within easy reach.
