Bank View, Market Place, Belford

Bank View is cottage number 1 (of three available), and is a stunning 2 bedroom cottage that is currently a successful holiday let.

Immaculately presented and steeped in history, these three properties are irresistible. We are delighted to welcome to the market three stunning properties, formerly an old bank, located in the lovely Northumberland village of Belford. The properties, which are all incredibly successful holiday lets, exude character and charm and retain original features indicating their previous life as the village bank. From the point of entry onwards, you are left in no doubt of the quality and style of living offered by each of these delightful cottages.

The north Northumberland village of Belford is just a short distance from Northumberland's Heritage coastline. The ancient market town of Belford was for many years a coaching stop on the main London to Edinburgh road. Located midway between the coast and the beautiful Northumberland National Park, and midway between Alnwick and Berwick Upon Tweed the town offers a Primary school, doctors, dentist, supermarket, public houses and restaurants, a number of independent shops, a community gym and a bus service runs between Berwick and Newcastle on Tyne.

Bank View, cottage number 1, is a superb 2 bedroom stone building with wooden anthracite-coloured double-glazed windows which impress immediately. All three properties have gas central heating and each one is served by all the usual mains connections.

Entry is via a gorgeous solid wooden door which opens to the neutrally decorated porch. Leading from here is the spacious ground floor WC, which has vinyl flooring and a white close-coupled toilet with a pushbutton, a wall-hung hand basin with splashback tiling, and a fitted mirror. The Vaillant gas boiler is housed here for ease of access.

The open-plan kitchen-dining-living space is glorious, with open stairs leading to the first floor. Dual aspect, with one window overlooking the beautiful marketplace and one capturing street views, this area is wonderfully light and bright. Ceiling spotlights provide artificial light. The kitchen end offers plenty of quality wall and base units working in harmony with the solid eye-catching wood worksurface and brick-style splashback tiling. The kitchen is equipped with a single bowl stainless steel sink, a four-burner induction hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan and an electric oven, whilst there is plumbing and space for a free-standing washing machine and space for a free-standing fridge or freezer. A dining table and accompanying chairs can be easily accommodated, and the space is finished with vinyl flooring. The living room end is carpeted and this generously proportioned area provides a warm welcome. There is also access to a cupboard beneath the stairs.

Taking the stairs to the first floor, the metal spindles and oak handrail add an extra element of elegance. The landing, with loft access above, opens out to two bedrooms and a bathroom. All the bedrooms are carpeted and neutrally decorated, allowing the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish.

Bedroom 1 is a good-sized light and airy double with an attractive street view. A walk-in cupboard offers excellent storage potential.

Bedroom 2 is another double with two windows capturing a lovely view of the market place. Storage comes via a bank of built-in wardrobes.

The bathroom is another light and airy quality room. The suite offers a white bath with a glass shower screen and a separate shower over, a close-coupled toilet with a pushbutton, a pedestal wash hand basin, a fitted mirror with splashback tiling, and a built-in cupboard perfect for the storage of towels and bathroom accessories. The area around the bath and shower is fully tiled and natural light enters via a window overlooking the marketplace.

The property has access a shared utility room, shared with the other two properties in the building.
