Feature Property! The Kennels, Wynyard

Properties in this location very rarely come to the market, making this Grade II listed dwelling a must-see to avoid major disappointment. The property occupies a leafy and substantial plot overlooking Wynyard Hall, with extensive and mature surrounding gardens which is matched by the extensive and beautifully maintained interior.

 

The hugely impressive accommodation includes four double bedrooms, substantial reception rooms, an extensive kitchen/dining room, entrance hall and stunning family bathroom. The lounge is a particular highlight and stretches 32 feet including three lots of bi-folding doors which open out to a raised decking area and in turn has glorious views over the garden and parkland. Bedroom 4 is positioned to the rear and is currently under a transformation with planning permission granted allowing a further 5 metres to be added. This will then allow the room to either be a further lounge, a family room or a master suite bedroom. The kitchen should suit many families and provides a spacious dining area, a range of integral contemporary units and worktops.

 

  

The luxury family bathroom offers a free-standing roll-top bath, free-standing sink on a vanity unit and step-in double shower. There is a full gas central heating system and double glazing. Externally the substantial and private rear gardens cannot fail to impress and provide an ideal environment for enjoying the summer months. They include a substantial lawned area, a range of mature trees and shrubs surrounding the property and raised decking seating areas. To the rear there is off-street parking for multiple vehicles via a private driveway. Viewing this property is strongly recommended at the earliest opportunity.

18 lucky staff at The Carver Group receive a relaxing treat

After a fantastic week, relaxation and appreciation for all their hard work certainly helps to boost staff morale! 

Nick & Gordon Carver appreciate their staff, and know they work hard.  A lot of time is spent sitting at a desk looking at a computer screen, and while we all try to sit 'properly' and maintain good posture, it doesn't always happen!

So to acknowledge their hard work and ensure they are relaxed and motivated they enlisted the help of a company who visit workplaces to carry out head, shoulder, neck, back and hand massages.

A qualified professional from stressbusters.co.uk came in to Head Office for a day and 18 lucky members of staff were treated to a massage of their choice.

The staff were very relaxed after the massage and said they felt it had helped them (after we had woken them up afterwards!)
