Description

A beautifully presented property currently in use as a holiday rental cottage, located in the small hamlet of North Charlton approximately 7.5 miles north from the historic town of Alnwick and a great base for exploring the coast, countryside and tourist attractions in North Northumberland. The location is easily accessible from the A1 main road, and particularly well positioned for guests attending events at Doxford Hall, Doxford Barns, Charlton Hall, and Ellingham Hall.  

The barn conversion accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers appealing character features such as the exposed beams in the vaulted ceilings of the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Both bedrooms are very spacious rooms each accommodating large beds, and the downstairs has the convenience of a separate W.C. facility. Although there is space in the long kitchen for a smaller table and chairs, the lounge has ample space for dining as well as relaxing in the seating area around the wood burning stove. A lawn garden with stone wall boundary is accessible from the lounge at the rear of the property, and there are two private allocated parking spaces next to the property at the front.
