Harrowgate Lane, Stockton-on-Tees, TS19 8TE

Some houses give you bedrooms and living space. This one gives you a lifestyle.

From busy family mornings around the kitchen island to Friday nights in the games room, drinks at your own bar, summer get-togethers spilling into the garden and quieter evenings curled up beside the stove, this is a home with the space to make everyday life considerably more enjoyable.

At its heart is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting space – somewhere that naturally becomes the hub of the house.

The contemporary Shaker-style kitchen has a central island and breakfast bar, walk-in larder, integrated dishwasher and double oven, while the adjoining sitting area, complete with solid-fuel stove creates a wonderfully sociable space for cooking, eating and relaxing together.

And when you want to spread out, you certainly can.

The substantial 20ft living room provides a more relaxed space for movie nights and downtime, complete with bay window, media wall and flame-effect fire.

But it's the additional rooms that really set this home apart.

There's a dedicated games/snooker room plus a generous family room with its own fitted bar – imagine the parties, Christmas gatherings, big match nights and weekends with friends these spaces could accommodate.

Upstairs, four bedrooms provide plenty of room for family life without compromise.

The principal bedroom enjoys its own contemporary en-suite with a large walk-in shower, while the stylish family bathroom combines a freestanding roll-top-style bath with another walk-in shower – equally suited to hurried weekday mornings and a long soak at the end of the day.

Then there's the outside space… The photographs show a home with an unusually generous amount of hardstanding to the front, giving it a real sense of space on arrival, while the rear garden provides a completely different atmosphere – established, green and made for enjoying rather than simply looking at.

There's space for summer barbecues, outdoor dining and children to play, together with a timber garden cabin with electricity and French doors overlooking the garden.

Better still, the hot tub is included – so evenings under the stars are already taken care of. The layout also has a practicality that busy households will appreciate.

A separate utility keeps laundry away from the main kitchen, there's a ground-floor WC, useful storage and, above all, multiple reception spaces that allow different generations to do their own thing without feeling disconnected.

This isn't a house where family life has to fit around the rooms – it's a house with enough room to fit around family life.

For buyers who love to entertain, need space for teenagers, work from home, regularly have friends and family over, or simply want a home where there's somewhere for everyone to escape to, Harrowgate Lane offers a lifestyle that's difficult to replicate in a conventional four-bedroom house.

Four bedrooms. Multiple living spaces. Games room. Your own bar. Sociable kitchen. Garden cabin. Hot tub. And space to bring everyone together.

This is a home built for making the most of your time at home.
