Description
Alnwick is a town brimming with history and culture, from the tranquillity of Barter Books to the splendour of Alnwick Castle and Garden. 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.
A low-maintenance front garden, framed by a wrought iron fence and laurel hedge, welcomes you to this gorgeous home. The composite front door opens into a spacious and airy entrance hallway with stairs ascending to the first floor and various doors leading off. You are immediately impressed by the quality of décor and finish from this point onwards and the well-fitted ribbed mat at the front door provides an attractive and practical touch and works in complete harmony with the LVT herringbone-style flooring which furnishes most of the ground floor, creating a seamless transition between the different spaces.
The ground floor WC is of benefit as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a close-coupled toilet with a push button behind, a corner hand wash basin and an extractor fan. Beautiful wave-embossed grey wall tiles adorn the walls and luxury floor tiles complete the look.
The first main door opens into the spacious lounge which has been finished to an incredibly high standard and showcases glorious wood panelling to a feature wall. The colonial shutters add elegance to this wonderfully relaxing and comfortable room which takes advantage of views to the front of the property.
The second reception room is located opposite and is currently utilised an office. With colonial shutters furnishing the window overlooking the front, this light and bright room features a dark painted wood panelled feature wall: beautifully stylish. This room is currently used as a study/office.
Capturing designer-living perfectly, the kitchen-dining-family space is bathed in natural light courtesy of a set of bi-fold doors and further windows within the kitchen and living spaces. The newly fitted quality kitchen is stunning and offers a good number of wall and base units with a matt grey handless door complemented by grey brick-style splashback tiling and an attractive work surface with a matching up stand. In terms of fitted equipment, there is an AEG five burner gas hob beneath a built-in Caple extractor fan, an AEG oven with a combination microwave above with a stylish matt glass finish to the glass door, and a dark-coloured Blanco sink within the worksurface with a drainer cut in at the side. There is space for an American-style fridge freezer, space for a free-standing washing machine, and a large cupboard beneath the stairs offers excellent storage. The addition of matt black switches and sockets, some of which include USB ports, enhance the style and appeal of this gorgeous space.
The central area houses the dining table from which garden views can be enjoyed and the bi-fold doors, facilitating free flow of movement between indoor and outdoor living, opens to a patio ideal for alfresco dining. The sitting end of the space is appealing with its silver-grey wood panelled walls and comfortably accommodates sofas and a coffee table. The window, with colonial shutters, overlooks the rear garden making this the perfect space in which to relax and while away the hours reading a magazine or chatting with family and friends.
Taking the stairs to the first floor, the semi-horseshoe shaped spacious landing with loft access above opens out to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. The bedrooms are all furnished beautifully and, with the addition of colonial shutters, these rooms, with shaped ceilings adding cottage-style charm, are wonderfully restful and relaxing.
The primary bedroom is a large double room with a semi-shaped ceiling and a dormer window overlooking the front of the property. There is a bank of built-in floor to ceiling wardrobes with an attractive grey door offering excellent storage. The large ensuite is fully tiled, the wave-embossed tile forming a lovely feature. The semi-vaulted ceiling with Velux window allowing natural light is another example of charm and appeal. The suite comprises a concealed-cistern toilet with a push button, a half-pedestal wall-hung hand wash basin with a designer-looking tap above, a slimline shower cubicle with a waterfall shower head and a separate shower head within behind a glass pivot door, and a chrome heated towel rail that ensures added comfort.
Bedroom 2 is a good-sized light and bright double room overlooking the sunny rear garden.
Bedroom 3 is another well illuminated double room taking advantage of views to the front.
Bedroom 4 is a further double room to the rear of the property offering a built-in cupboard and a restful and airy feel.
Offering an enhanced bathing experience, the boutique hotel-style family bathroom comprises a half-pedestal wall-hung hand basin, a concealed cistern toilet with a push button, a chrome heated towel rail and a bath with shower taps over. The semi-vaulted ceiling incorporates spotlights, and a Velux window allows for natural light. Wave-embossed tiling completes the look of this attractive space.
The rear garden is the perfect place to entertain family and friends and, as it is securely fenced, children and family pets can play safely. The large patio leading from the bi-fold doors is ideal for alfresco dining during the warm summer months and the artificial lawned area provides further spaces to sit and enjoy the sunshine. The stand-alone single garage can be accessed via a pedestrian door from the rear garden which is a useful point of entry and there is driveway parking for three cars to the rear of the property.
