Amble, Northumberland's friendliest port, offers a wide range of amenities including a supermarket, shops, doctors, first, middle and high schools, health centre, pubs and restaurants. There is still a working harbour, a marina and a popular Sunday market. Many of the things to do in Amble are based on the very thing that almost completely surrounds it - water. Watersports, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing are all extremely popular. Amble is home to the UK’s only puffin festival, inspired by the colourful 36,000-bird colony nesting on Coquet Island, an RSPB seabird sanctuary a mile off the coast. Warkworth and Alnwick are a short drive away. Amble has a regular bus service to Alnwick, Ashington, Blyth and Newcastle, and it is approximately 4.5 miles to the mainline rail station at Alnmouth.
The front garden, with a wrought iron gate and a hedge affording privacy, welcomes you to this lovely property. The front door opens into a valuable internal porch showcasing many period features which continue throughout most of the home: high ceilings, deep skirting boards, coving, and brass switches and sockets. The coat hanging area is useful as is the Hive control allowing easy regulation of the ambient temperature. An original wooden door, with a stained-glass panel above, opens to the main hallway with laminate flooring, stairs ascending to the first floor and various doors leading off. The first door opens to the ground floor WC which is a superb asset as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a close-coupled toilet with a push button and a wall-hung hand basin with a splashback tile. A window overlooking the side allows for natural light.
A second original wooden door opens to a formal lounge at the front of the property. The sense of grandeur continues here as you are impressed by the high ceilings, ceiling rose and coving. The chimney breast, incorporating a wood burner set onto a slate hearth with a wood surround, is an exquisite focal point. The glass shelving to either side enables the attractive display of ornaments or photographs. Bathed in natural light courtesy of the large single glazed wooden sash window with working shutters, this lounge is a gloriously inviting space. The addition of the chandelier finishes the room perfectly.
The second reception room, with laminate flooring, is another valuable living space. Two original wooden doors provide access, and the room benefits from original storage cupboards affording useful storage in addition to convenient shelving. A pair of wood and glass French doors lead to a conservatory to the rear of the property. This room features an eye-catching chandelier and modern coving which is in keeping with the period of the home.
The kitchen, with laminate-type flooring and chrome switches and sockets, offers a good number of wall and base units with a shaker-style door complemented by an anthracite-coloured work surface and attractive mosaic splashback tiling. This glorious cook’s kitchen, with a huge amount of workable bench space, includes glass display cabinets, an under-bench fridge, an under-bench freezer, a slimline fully integrated dishwasher, a double oven, a five-burner gas hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan, a semi-integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, and a bowl and a half stainless steel sink. The modern Worcester gas boiler is housed in a cupboard for ease of access. Two windows illuminate this room, one to the front and one to the side, and additional lighting is by way of ceiling spotlights within the low-maintenance ceiling.
A wooden stable door at the foot of the kitchen opens into a superb conservatory. Practically finished with a quarry tile floor, this space is a wonderful additional living area. The exposed stone walls add charm and character, and the uPVC windows allow a wealth of natural light to enter in addition to the French doors which open towards the garden area and parking at the rear.
Taking the wide staircase to the first floor, the half-landing with a window for natural light extends to the main landing which opens to two carpeted bedrooms and the bathroom.
The primary bedroom is an incredibly large double room with a single glazed sash window overlooking the front of the property. This glorious room offers a full bank of floor to ceiling mirrored door wardrobes. This neutrally decorated room, with brushed chrome switches and sockets, allows the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish.
Bedroom 2 is a double room with a uPVC window overlooking the rear of the property with further lighting by way of ceiling lights and wall lights. A good amount of storage is available.
The family bathroom is a spacious room with high ceilings and a uPVC window to the rear allowing for natural light. The suite comprises a large white bath, a separate shower cubicle with an electric shower within, a pedestal wash hand basin, a close-coupled toilet with a push button and a cabinet for storage. The space has been finished with white tiling creating a crisp and fresh feel, and the white heated towel rail ensures added comfort.
The stairs continue to the third floor and pass a superb double glazed wooden window capturing the most glorious views over to the coast with the harbour in the foreground.
The landing opens out to two more bedrooms both of which ooze peace and tranquillity, being slightly further removed from the main hub of the home. There is more storage which is of benefit, in addition to a small loft access.
Bedroom 3 is a large double with a shaped ceiling and a uPVC dormer window taking advantage of attractive sea views and of the roof tops of the town. Useful eaves storage is available.
Bedroom 4 is a spacious single room, with a large Velux window, which would incorporate a double bed if you required. Previously utilised as an office, this room also offers a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere.
Externally, the rear garden is a versatile outside space with a useful garden shed providing excellent storage potential. There is parking for at least 3 cars at the rear.
