Rising to the second level, where glorious elevated views can be enjoyed, there are three bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom featuring a free-standing tub on a raised plinth.
The principal room has the advantage of a dressing room which links to an en suite shower room. A spiral staircase gives access to a large store room with skylight windows at the top of the property, whilst at the lowest level a barrel vaulted basement offers a games room/leisure space with adjoining cloakroom.
Additionally: Planning Permission has previously been granted for both the conversion of the top floor into a fourth bedroom and en-suite and a detached double garage. Work for both has been started in order to implement and protect the permissions. We feel these projects represent a superb opportunity for the purchaser and, once completed would enhance the future saleability of the property.
The adjoining cottage is a self-contained dwelling offering comparable charm with sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove and an adjoining well-appointed kitchen/ breakfast room. Two bedrooms and a bathroom with walk-in shower complete the offering of comfortable accommodation.
Mainly laid to manicured lawn and more naturalistic areas, with mown pathways creating a journey through the gardens, the grounds are interspersed with mature trees and shrubs and slope gently downwards to the banks of the River Aln. A decked platform offers an outdoor setting for dining and relaxation and a smart, wooden garden house offers a sheltered spot to sit and enjoy the wonderful views on offer over the garden to the undulating landscape, all sitting in 2.39 acres. The properties are approached via a driveway which extends onto an area providing parking for several cars.
The property is situated in Whittingham in the picturesque setting of the Vale of Whittingham, with the village lying on the banks of the River Aln, between Northumberland’s National Park and the beautiful Northumberland coastline and in close proximity to Thrunton Woods for mountain bike, walking and hiking-enthusiasts. Due east, the historic market down of Alnwick provides a wide range of amenities including shops, supermarkets, public houses, restaurants, schooling, a hospital, medical and dental surgeries, and leisure facilities, whilst also being home to the mediaeval Alnwick Castle, Alnwick Garden and the world-famous Barter Books. The A697 gives easy access to the A1 trunk road providing access to Berwick to the north and southwards to Newcastle City Centre and Newcastle International Airport. Main line railway stations at Alnmouth provide regular links to Edinburgh, Newcastle, York and London. Well-regarded schooling in the vicinity includes Whittingham CofE Primary School, Barndale House, Newcastle School for Boys, Westfield School and Newcastle High School for Girls.
