Upper Howick Street, Alnwick

A beautiful stone-built property retaining many period features. Elizabeth Humphreys Homes are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous 4 bedroomed 2 bathroomed mid terraced home located in the Northumberland town of Alnwick. In need of some updating, this property features a secluded rear courtyard, on street parking to the front, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. Sold with no chain, this family home is superbly located within walking distance of the town centre, local shops and bus stops, Alnwick Playhouse, The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei.

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.

Entry is via a wooden front door which opens into an internal porch which then opens into the main entrance hallway. A lovely archway, picture rail and wooden wall panelling creates charm and appeal within the hallway where the stairs, with storage beneath, ascend to the first floor and various doors lead off.

The attractive lounge is a beautifully light and bright welcoming room with an original sash window, with working shutters, to the front which allows a wealth of natural light to circulate. A gas fireplace with a stunning surround forms a pleasing feature and works in harmony with the coving, ceiling rose and woodwork framing the window.

To the rear of the property, the second reception room, currently utilised as a dining room, is a light and airy room with a uPVC window overlooking the rear courtyard. This room offers original built in cupboards and a lovely high ceiling. This room would be ideal as a playroom, a second television room or a hobby room if you so wished.

The kitchen, within the extended part of the home, offers a good number of wall and base units with a light-coloured shaker style door complemented by a wood look work surface. There is a bowl and a half stainless steel sink with a filtered water tap beneath a window to the rear, a BOSCH four burner gas hob with an extractor fan above, an electric under bench oven, space for two further under bench appliances and space for a free-standing fridge freezer. There is plenty of room to sit and dine. The room has been finished with a practical tiled floor, a uPVC door provides external access to the courtyard and a further door opens onto the rear lane which extends behind the terrace of properties.

Taking the stairs, with beautiful wooden spindles, to the first floor, the landing opens out to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
