The Property 
Located in the heart of Wylam, one of the Tyne Valley’s most sought-after villages, 17 Woodcroft Road is a generously proportioned detached bungalow that offers a rare combination of privacy, versatility, and convenience. Situated on a quietly elevated plot, the property enjoys a peaceful and private setting, while remaining just a short walk from local amenities. 
The home has been thoughtfully extended and updated, presenting a welcoming single-storey layout with elegant reception rooms, generous bedrooms, and beautifully maintained gardens. Set behind a low wall, it benefits from dual access, a drive leading to the garage and a ramped pedestrian path.  
A glazed porch opens into the central hallway, where decorative coving and a stained-glass ceiling panel create a characterful first impression. From here, the accommodation flows through a series of inviting rooms, including a bright sitting room with a feature fireplace and wide south-facing windows. A formal dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining, and both rooms enjoy direct access to the conservatory, creating an effortless flow between the main reception areas. Fully glazed with decorative leaded windows, the conservatory is fitted with remote-control blinds, a ceiling fan, and underfloor heating, providing a comfortable, year-round vantage point over the garden. 
The kitchen is well-appointed with a full suite of integrated appliances including a fridge, dishwasher, dual oven, and gas hob, all set within classic panelled cabinetry and sleek black granite worktops. An adjoining pantry offers additional storage space and there is internal access to the garage which incorporates a dedicated laundry area with plumbing and further storage.  
The three bedrooms are positioned for privacy, with the principal bedroom enjoying garden views, fitted wardrobes, and a remote-control electric blind. One of the additional bedrooms has the added benefit of a shower cubicle, ideal for guests or as a private en-suite while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom and separate WC. A drop-down electric ladder leads to a fully boarded and plastered loft with Velux windows, offering further scope for storage. 
Externally 
The mature south-facing rear garden is arranged across several levels, featuring paved terraces, shaped lawns, and planted beds filled with seasonal colour. A hidden vegetable plot with raised beds and timber potting shed sits quietly to the side, while the upper patio offers a private, sheltered setting to enjoy the views.
