Blakelaw Road, Alnwick, Northumberland, NE66

Blakelaw Cottage is a truly enchanting Grade II listed property, set within its own private and idyllic grounds, an oasis of tranquillity bounded by mature hedgerows. This charming home offers the perfect blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern touches, all within easy reach of the bustling market town of Alnwick and its wide range of amenities.

The cottage exudes warmth and traditional charm throughout. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway that leads directly into the well appointed kitchen, a light and spacious room that easily accommodates a generous dining table. The kitchen features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, tiled floors, and shaker-style cabinetry complemented by granite worktops. A Rangemaster cooker, integrated fridge-freezer, and dishwasher complete the space, blending style with practicality.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room, providing a more formal setting and offering direct access to the rear patio—perfect for enjoying alfresco meals or morning coffee in the sun. From here, a door leads to the utility room, which is equipped with worktop space, plumbing for white goods, and houses the boiler.

The heart of the home is the generously sized sitting room, a light-filled and inviting space that enjoys triple-aspect views over the established garden. A magnificent stone inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove adds a focal point and a cosy atmosphere, particularly during the winter months.
Back off the hallway, the family bathroom is complete with a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin, and a heated towel radiator.

A staircase from the sitting room leads to the first floor, where you'll find the master bedroom which is double in size. This room boasts dual-aspect views, fitted wardrobes, and an ensuite shower room with WC and wash hand basin. Two further bedrooms are located on this level, one of which is a comfortable double bedroom.

Altogether, Blakelaw Cottage offers spacious and characterful accommodation in a truly serene setting, perfectly balancing charm with accessibility.

The garden is a peaceful paradise with a mix of lawned areas, patio with seating and gravel spaces. To the rear a stable door leads to the patio area ideal for seating to enjoy in the warmer months. There is a raised lawned area with summerhouse and access to the solar panels which are housed on the garage. Ample parking is accessed via the gravel driveway.
A detached garage offers great storage options fitted with an electric roller door. This space would make a great workshop or annex given the correct consents were obtained.
