Clayport Street, Alnwick

A unique opportunity to purchase two grade II stone properties. We are delighted to welcome to the market this exciting opportunity to buy two properties: a shop, currently a laundrette, and a 1 bedroom first floor apartment in the Northumberland market town of Alnwick. To the side of the laundrette is an access gateway opening to a central staircase, with an attractive exposed stone wall and a window at the head of the stairs overlooking the rear courtyard, which leads to the apartment.

Alnwick, with its cobbled streets and beautiful old buildings, has recently had the honour of being voted one of the best places to live in the UK. Alnwick is a town brimming with history and culture, from the tranquillity of Barter Books to the splendour of the Alnwick Castle and gardens. 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. There is an excellent selection of local food retailers, delis, bakeries and butchers as well as larger chain supermarkets. The town centre also has excellent amenities including several banks, GP surgeries, dental practices and a fabulous leisure centre to name but a few.

Entry into the apartment is via the staircase leading to a wooden internal door which opens to an open-plan living-dining-kitchen space. There is a large modern uPVC window with a deep sill overlooking the front of the property. The kitchen area offers a good number of wall and base units, a single bowl stainless steel sink, a Baxi gas boiler facilitating the heating and hot water, an electric under-bench oven, a four-burner ceramic hob with a built-in extractor fan above and space for a fridge freezer. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs and sofas within the dining-living area. The space is finished with laminate flooring and stone-effect splashback tiling within the kitchen.

The bedroom is accessed from the living space and is a good-sized double with a uPVC window overlooking the rear. The semi-vaulted ceiling adds to the character of this light and bright room.

The modernised shower room is entered from the bedroom and comprises a close-coupled WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and a quadrant shower cubicle with a tank-fed shower. The white tiling forms a crisp and fresh finish, and the deep windowsill is the perfect place on which to store bathroom accessories. Spotlights add to the natural light entering from the uPVC window overlooking the rear.

The laundrette below, with a large shop window to the front, currently offers space for a good number of laundry machines and dryers. This space is exciting and presents an opportunity for development if you so wished. There is an office space to the rear and the footfall past the property is advantageous. (Laundry Machines are not included in the sale.)

An interesting and distinctive chance to combine living and business in the beautiful and popular town of Alnwick.
