This private development of 7 bespoke designed homes, finished in Stone and Slate to compliment their surroundings, St James’ Close sits comfortably on the edge of the small rural village of South Charlton with long range views East across open countryside towards the fabled Northumberland Coast and across to the breath-taking Cheviot Hills to the West.

Each individual property is ideally positioned on this site facing across the village towards the parish church of St James which dates back to 1862 and built, in Gothic style by James Deason of London for the then 4th Duke of Northumberland.

The 7 homes are designed to combine the very best in striking architectural features whilst blending seamlessly with the well established village to the West.

Internally, modern layouts and clever use of space provides a perfect place to live, work and enjoy all there is to living in such a fabulous rural location.

Thoughtful positioning of each property and the use of open space help to create a harmonious balance between this impressive collection of homes and the surrounding countryside.

South Charlton is typical of a small rural Northumberland village. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and located just 5 miles North of Alnwick and around the same distance from the picturesque and very popular coastal villages of Craster and Newton-by-the-Sea.

Alnwick and its surrounding areas have been voted as one of the most desirable places to live in the UK and living at St James Close offers all that Alnwick has and more with rolling hills and dramatic views to the coast. The delights of Northumberland, its castles, coast and countryside are all within easy reach. And the main A1 arterial route is just a few minutes’ drive away giving easy Access North to Berwick Upon Tweed and Edinburgh and South to Alnwick, Morpeth and Newcastle Upon Tyne.

St James Close hugs the Eastern edge of the village with its private cul de sac with rural views and easy access to the coastal villages of Alnmouth, Warkworth and Amble to the South East and Beadnell, Seahouses and Bamburgh to the North East.

Each property features a practical but beautifully fitted kitchen with clever designs, including islands or peninsulas where appropriate, that allow you to cook, wash and prepare meals socially and very much integrated with the rest of the room. Access to your fabulous outdoor space is through elegant French doors. Drawers & doors are fitted with soft close technology and an integrated cutlery drawer and deep pan drawers. The work surfaces are premium Silestone and have matching upstands.

Included integrated appliances are either NEFF or BOSCH: fridge/freezer, dishwasher, 5 ring induction hob, microwave oven, single fan oven, warming drawers and extractor hood as appropriate. 

The bathrooms, shower rooms, en-suites and downstairs WCs are thoughtfully designed to make maximum use of the space and to be comfortable and luxurious. Walls are tiled to either half or full height and finished with a chrome trim.

Contemporary white sanitary ware is by leading suppliers fitted with high spec showers, soft close toilet seats and covers and chrome ‘dual fuel’ towel radiators.

Every detail has been thought through, each home is finished in contemporary colour schemes with design features such as modern profile oak doors and brushed steel spotlights, switches, sockets and door furniture are fitted as standard.

Strategically placed power outlets, some with USB, and TV points in living rooms and bedrooms are installed throughout each home.

The Northumberland Group are conscious of using renewables wherever they can. The heating system for each home is powered by an air-source heat pump and, in the earlier stages of the development there is the opportunity for buyers to upgrade with the installation of a 6kw solar panel array. The luxury of multi-room underfloor heating is provided downstairs while upstairs, there are practical radiators in each room.

Externally the properties are finished with conservation grey windows and doors. The roofline and electric garage doors are also anthracite.
