This period stone built garden three bedroom terrace sits conveniently in the centre of the highly sought after historic town of Alnwick. With accommodation full of character and boasting original features including original sash timber windows, there is scope to cosmetically enhance every room.  Rarely do you find period town properties with large gardens and to the rear of Upper Howick Street you will find an elevated garden ready for further landscaping.  

Steps to the entrance door lead into a lobby and a glazed door into the welcoming hallway with an original spindled balustrade takes you to a half landing and onto the galleried first floor landing.  The lounge to the front is bright and airy with a fireplace creating a central focal point giving the room a cosy atmosphere.  The sitting room with an original cast iron fireplace with tiled inset, hearth and open fire grate is perfect for cold winter days.  Opening into the generous dining kitchen has ample space for a dining table, perfect for everyday eating or entertaining and the kitchen is well appointed with a range of wall and base units with a fitted gas hob, electric oven and extractor along with an integrated fridge, washer and dryer.  French doors lead out from the side of the kitchen to the courtyard and garden.
