Alnwick is a town brimming with history and culture, from the tranquillity of Barter Books to the splendour of Alnwick Castle and Garden. The town benefits from excellent transport links with frequent buses between Berwick, Morpeth and Newcastle and is a short drive to Alnmouth train station and, as it is situated just moments from the A1, it is perfect for those needing to commute.

The internal hallway, with wood-effect flooring, offers a warm and inviting reception with a central staircase leading to the first floor and various door leading off. Storage is available beneath the stairs and the ground floor toilet is an asset as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a close-coupled white toilet with a push button and a vanity unit with a sink on top set within an attractive alcove showcasing beautiful harlequin tiling interspersed with a mirrored segment. The space is finished to half height with white tiles and a chrome heated towel rail ensures added comfort.

Fabulously light and bright courtesy of a deep bay window taking advantage of views to the front and French doors leading to a patio at the rear, the lounge is the perfect place for entertaining family and friends. Neutrally decorated so allowing the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish, this room also boasts an attractive gas feature fireplace and lovely coving.

A door opposite opens to a reception room currently utilised as a home office. This room could equally well be a snug, children’s playroom or a hobby room. With a deep bay window matching that of the lounge, this room is bathed in natural light.

The well-equipped kitchen-diner, furnished with large stone look floor tiles, comfortably accommodates a dining table and chairs and offers a good number of white high-gloss handleless wall and base units complemented by a beech block-effect work surface with a matching upstand and a light-coloured easy clean splashback.

There is a large window overlooking the rear of the property which not only allows a wealth of natural light but also enables children playing in the garden to be supervised whilst you are creating culinary delights. There is an additional window overlooking the side adding to the brightness. Further lighting is by way of ceiling spotlights and the space is finished brushed chrome switches and sockets. The utility space, with matching tiling to that of the kitchen, offers a wood-effect unit with harlequin splashback tiling. There is a single bowl stainless steel sink, plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A composite door opens to the side of the property leading to the garage and driveway.

The dining room, with shapely coving, is a wonderful entertaining space as it features French doors which open into the living room which facilitates free flow of movement between the different spaces. A second set of French doors open to the patio at the rear of the property which creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Taking the carpeted stairs to the first floor the spacious landing, with loft access above, opens left and right and leads to 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.
