The property
With natural stone elevations and featuring classic bay windows, Longshore is an appealing, three-storey village home which has been enhanced to provide a living environment where vintage detail meets modern styling. Warmed-toned wood-floor covering in the reception hall extends across much of the accommodation providing practicality and a pleasing sense of cohesion. A relaxed sitting room has a bay recess providing a niche to sit, and a striking fireplace creates an attractive focal point. The adjacent dining room offers the comforting ambience of a log-burner with an open aperture to the kitchen/breakfast room at the rear. Fitted with contemporary, white cabinetry and stone work surfaces, the light-filled kitchen has integrated appliances and ample space for informal dining.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the two upper levels, where a charming collection of decorative fireplaces are showcased. The principal room and two others are on offer on the first floor, along with a well-appointed modern family bathroom and a separate stylish shower room. A second stairway rises to the second floor where there are two additional bedrooms.

Outside
Decorative wrought-iron railings adjoin the pavement, with a low-maintenance gravelled frontage offering a spot to display potted plants and a pathway leading to the entrance doorway. A paved courtyard garden to the rear is enclosed by stone walls providing a secluded setting to dine and sit al fresco whilst taking advantage of the sunny, southerly aspect. Two steps leads down from the French doors of the kitchen to reach the courtyard and a rear gate provides an alternative access route into and out of the property.

Location
Longshore enjoys a desirable coastal village position, just moments from the water’s edge, the River Aln Boat Club and the Alnmouth Golf Club. With its beautiful beaches and wide range of cafés and restaurants, Alnmouth offers a good selection of amenities for day-to-day needs, along with a railway station with services to Newcastle, London Kings Cross and Edinburgh.
