Burdon Village, Sunderland, Tyne And Wear, SR3

Burdon Farm Presenting an extraordinary opportunity, Burdon Farm is a stunning barn conversion nestled in a prime countryside location, ideal for commuting to Wearside, Tyneside, Teesside, and Durham. This exceptional property features two beautifully designed wings. The first, an elegant combination of two traditional barns, exudes rustic charm. The second wing, a former grain store, has been transformed into a breathtaking, contemporary open-plan living space. Every detail of this home reflects the owners' commitment to quality, offering a perfect blend of luxury and countryside living, with captivating sea views along the East Coast. Currently, the property is divided into two separate rented units, each featuring 3-bedroom accommodations. Both the North and South Wings yield higher-than-average rental income, while the West Wing provides a remarkable opportunity for further development, whether for additional living quarters or another income-generating unit, pending necessary approvals. North Wing Step into the North Wing through a grand, fully-glazed doorway that once served as one of the original gated entrances to the carthouse. The reception hall greets you with gleaming emerald granite flooring and a custom wrought-iron staircase, setting the stage for the elegance that lies within. Off the hallway is a cozy snug, boasting a bespoke brick and timber fireplace with a wood-burning stove and stunning exposed beams. With double-aspect windows, it invites natural light to flow from the north and south. An adjacent home study or third bedroom offers flexible living options. The heart of the home is the kitchen-diner, a communal space with handmade bespoke cabinetry, terracotta clay tile flooring, and an impressive four-oven Aga Range set within a double-height, reclaimed brick fireplace. Exposed structural timbers and original stonework walls complete the room's inviting, rustic charm. Next to the kitchen is a large utility room, perfect for housing white goods, and providing access to a rear courtyard. Adjacent to this is a modern wet room with a WC, handbasin, and mixer shower. A rear entrance hall with ample storage, featuring exposed beams and a slate floor, leads to a formal dining room or fourth bedroom, again with exposed beams and a traditional feel. The North Wing is double-glazed throughout with hardwood frames, and benefits from central heating via cast-iron radiators. Upstairs, you'll find two generously-sized double bedrooms, each showcasing feature beam work, open ceilings, and dual-aspect windows. The family bathroom boasts a freestanding bath, a corner shower, and mosaic marble flooring, adding a touch of luxury to the space. South Wing The South Wing, a former grain store, offers a modern, open-plan lifestyle. Accessed via its private driveway, the ground floor features a vast living area with soaring double-height windows, framing breathtaking views to the east. A feature inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove provides a cozy focal point for this contemporary space. The kitchen, sleek and modern, connects seamlessly to the lounge, with a separate utility room for practicality. A south-facing sunroom, accessed through bespoke oak bifold doors, offers a tranquil retreat. With its own feature fireplace and large, dual-aspect windows, the sunroom opens onto a sun-drenched deck, offering total privacy and all-day sun. Upstairs, a bespoke steel and aluminium staircase with open wooden treads leads to a galleried landing, overlooking the lounge below. The master bedroom offers indulgence with a built-in contemporary wood burner, a luxurious ensuite with walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in wardrobe and dressing area. Two further double bedrooms, both with ensuite facilities, complete this remarkable wing, which benefits from underfloor heating throughout for year-round comfort. West Wing The West Wing, affectionately known as "The Chicken Shed," is a hidden gem, ripe for transformation. Dating back to the 17th century, this expansive barn offers enormous potential for development. With its private stone-walled garden and the opportunity to create a self-contained 2,500 square foot annex, this could become a spectacular addition to the property. Whether for additional living space or further rental income, the possibilities are endless. External Grounds Outside, Burdon Farm features a gated driveway with ample parking for several vehicles, leading to an additional paved parking and turning area. The North Wing's mature walled garden, with double lawns and shrub borders, provides a peaceful retreat, while a large lawn to the east, separated by a post and rail fence, offers privacy between the two wings. To the east of the property lies a substantial paddock, currently set to grassland and bordered by mature trees, offering endless possibilities. An outbuilding to the south provides generous storage, with potential for conversion into a gym, office, playroom, or creative studio. Set within a highly sought-after rural village, Burdon Farm offers the perfect balance of secluded country living and easy access to major northeast cities, recreational and cultural amenities, and top-tier schools. Commuters will appreciate excellent transport links via the A19 and A1, with Newcastle Airport and two rail stations within easy reach. Burdon Farm is an extraordinary opportunity, whether you're seeking an expansive family home or an investment to grow your rental portfolio. With the potential to develop the West Wing further, this property offers endless possibilities for those with vision and ambition.
