Description
Occupying a rather special elevated position on the banks of the River Leven, this substantial five/six bedroom home combines striking contemporary architecture with the space and practicality required of a genuine family house.
Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 5,000 sq ft, the house has been designed around an impressive central staircase which rises through the heart of the building. It gives the interior an immediate sense of scale, while connecting each floor in a way that feels considered rather than simply grand.
The sitting room is perhaps the defining space. Double-height proportions are complemented by a galleried landing above, while full-height windows frames the room and brings both natural light and the outlook into the house. Despite its scale, it remains a comfortable and inviting room, impressive when entertaining, but equally suited to everyday life.
The bespoke kitchen is another important part of the home, centred around an island and providing a natural place for family and friends to gather. Its contemporary detailing sits comfortably within the wider architecture, with plenty of space for both
cooking and informal dining.
Across the upper floors are six bedrooms, with the principal suite given particular attention. Generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, it incorporates separate his and hers dressing rooms, creating a private suite with excellent storage
and a real sense of separation from the rest of the house.
Outside, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a courtyard and private driveway. The setting, however, is what makes the position particularly distinctive. The house looks towards the River Leven, giving it an outlook that
feels surprisingly peaceful, while the historic High Street of Yarm remains within easy reach
It is an unusual combination: some 5,000 sq ft of contemporary accommodation, strong architectural detail and all within convenient reach of one of the area’s most established and attractive market towns. A substantial house, certainly, but one that has been designed first and foremost to work as a home.
