The Property
The Iris is a versatile five-bedroom stone house, newly built by Cussins as part of the Sycamore Place development. Designed with a focus on both flexibility and finish, the house benefits from a well-considered specification including professionally designed kitchens with Bosch appliances, contemporary bathrooms and en-suites, and energy-efficient construction incorporating UPVC double glazing and an air source heat pump, all supporting a comfortable and practical living environment.

The internal layout offers a more layered arrangement, with multiple reception spaces providing flexibility for modern living. The entrance hall leads through to a well-proportioned living room, while a separate snug provides a more intimate space, allowing the ground floor to adapt easily to different uses.

To the rear, the kitchen, dining and family space is designed to work as a natural focal point, combining scale with everyday practicality. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry and laminate work surfaces with matching upstands, the kitchen is equipped with Bosch appliances including an oven, induction hob, extractor and integrated dishwasher. The layout allows for clear zoning between cooking, dining and informal seating, while bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, extending the space in the warmer months. A separate utility room sits alongside, providing additional storage and laundry space, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing area and en suite, while a second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite and dressing area. A further bedroom, family bathroom and dedicated home office complete this level.

The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms and a shower room, creating a flexible upper level suited to guests or independent living.

Bathrooms and en-suites are finished with a clean, contemporary approach, featuring chrome sanitaryware and fittings, with en-suites benefiting from glass shower enclosures and rainfall-style showers. Porcelanosa tiling is used throughout, creating a cohesive and durable finish.

Externally
The property is set behind a block-paved driveway with access to an attached garage, providing both parking and storage. To the rear, a paved terrace sits alongside the house, accessed via bi-fold doors, with the remainder of the garden left as prepared soil, allowing for landscaping to suit individual preferences. The front garden is turfed, creating a well-presented approach.

Agents Notes
A management fee of approximately £332.31 per annum is payable, contributing towards the maintenance of shared areas within the development, including the private road, street lighting, green spaces and foul water pumping station.

The Development
Sycamore Place is an exclusive collection of thoughtfully designed homes by Cussins, comprising a limited number of three and five-bedroom houses arranged within a carefully planned village setting. The development has been conceived with a clear emphasis on longevity and architectural integrity, with each property constructed in natural sandstone to reflect the established character of Northumberland’s rural villages.

Across the scheme, the homes are individually designed yet cohesive in their appearance, with a consistent use of traditional materials, considered proportions and well-balanced elevations. The result is a development that feels established from the outset, rather than imposed, with each house sitting comfortably within its plot and the wider streetscape.

Internally, the properties are arranged to accommodate modern family life, with a strong focus on open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces alongside more defined reception rooms, allowing for both everyday living and formal entertaining. Many of the house types are arranged over three floors, offering a level of flexibility that adapts easily to changing requirements, whether for growing families, home working or guest accommodation.

Attention has also been given to practical elements, with features such as utility rooms, multiple bathrooms, dressing areas and generous storage incorporated as standard. Externally, each home benefits from private gardens, off-street parking and either integral or detached garaging, ensuring the development functions as well as it presents.

Sycamore Place offers a considered approach to modern housebuilding, combining traditional craftsmanship with layouts designed for contemporary living, within a carefully composed and well-proportioned setting.

Local Information
