Haven Hill, Craster, Alnwick, Northumberland

Coquet View has been in the Robson Family (producers of the world famous Craster Kippers) for over 100 years and therefore occupies a significant chapter in the history of the village and surrounding area. This sale offers the property outside of the family for the first time in generations.

A handsome stone-built family home featuring predominantly open plan accommodation with quality fixtures and fittings and neutral décor throughout, the whole configured to provide an elegant and practical living and entertaining environment. It is located at the heart of a sought-after fishing village, near to local and town centre amenities.

The detached stone-built family home offers light-filled flexible accommodation arranged in a predominantly open plan format over two floors. The property is configured to offer an elegant yet practical environment for both living and entertaining, featuring quality fixtures and fittings, neutral décor throughout, and a design that maximises the stunning sea views.

The accommodation includes a beamed sitting and dining room with tiled flooring; the sitting area features a fireplace, French doors opening to the terrace, and a door leading to an inner hall, which provides access to a bedroom, a neighbouring family shower room, and a door to the annexe. The dining area opens into a kitchen fitted with a range of wall and base units, including a breakfast bar and modern integrated appliances. From the dining area, doors open into a spacious wraparound conservatory, featuring large sea and garden view picture windows and access to the courtyard and garden terrace.

A spiral staircase rises from the sitting and dining room to the vaulted first floor which features a wealth of exposed A frame beams and houses the principal bedroom with walk-in storage and a modern fully-tiled en suite shower room and the property’s remaining double bedroom which benefits from a fully-tiled en suite bathroom.

The Annexe
Accessed via a private entrance and hall with a useful cloakroom, the attached annexe features a sitting room with tiled flooring, a feature fireplace, an openplan fitted kitchen, and picture glazing with a door to the terrace. Stairs rise from the entrance hall to a firstfloor double bedroom with an en suite shower room. The annexe could easily be brought back into the main house, if required.

Coquet View is superbly located on the sea front in this pretty harbour village. Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through double wooden gates over a large tarmac side courtyard with low-level stone walling separating it from the Northumberland coastline and North Sea beyond, providing ample private parking and giving access to an external store and to the detached double garage with an inter-connecting summer house having full-height glazing incorporating French doors to the garden. The property also benefits from a wellmaintained enclosed lawned garden bordered by wellstocked flower and shrub beds and featuring paved terraces, the whole screened by mature hedging and ideal for entertaining and dining a cote de la mer. The uninteruppted sea views from the rear of the house, both inside and out, cannot be understated. The position of Coquet View, in the agents opinion, is one of the most enviable on the Northumberland Coast.
