Fox Covert, Stannington, Stannington

A truly exceptional detached bungalow, occupying a magnificent elevated setting within approximately 1.9 acres of beautifully established private grounds, situated to the south-west of the small village of Glororum, to the south of Morpeth. The property enjoys a delightful rural location with extensive, uninterrupted views across the surrounding open countryside towards the coast.
Fox Covert is a home of considerable individual character and distinction, offering exceptionally spacious, beautifully proportioned accommodation which has been imaginatively redesigned and comprehensively renovated to create an impressive contemporary residence of outstanding quality.
An extensive programme of refurbishment and improvement has been undertaken in recent years, including the installation of a new heating system, complete electrical rewiring, replacement windows and a thorough remodelling and refitting of the interior. The result is a superbly appointed home combining generous living spaces, a high standard of specification and an abundance of natural light, with extensive glazing designed to take full advantage of the attractive surroundings and far-reaching views.
The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's most outstanding features. Extending to approximately 1.9 acres, they enjoy a remarkable degree of privacy and seclusion, enhanced by numerous mature trees and established planting. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are attractively landscaped with mature shrubs, rockeries, paved terraces and sheltered seating areas, providing a delightful variety of spaces in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Of particular note is the substantial covered outdoor entertaining area, with its timber roof providing an inviting setting for dining and social occasions throughout much of the year. The grounds also accommodate a summer house, treehouse, tool store, aluminium-framed greenhouse, raised vegetable beds and a potting shed equipped with a multi-fuel stove, adding to the considerable appeal and versatility of the outdoor space.
The property benefits from access from two roads, together with extensive space for parking numerous vehicles. Given the generous proportions and configuration of the site, there may also be scope for the construction of an additional dwelling, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and other consents.
Fox Covert is a quite remarkable property, offering a rare combination of luxurious single-storey accommodation, exceptional privacy, extensive mature gardens and a commanding elevated position with panoramic views towards the Northumberland coast. A distinctive and beautifully appointed home in a highly attractive setting, within convenient reach of Morpeth and the surrounding countryside.
