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 communal entrance hallway provides access to four apartments this property being one of them. The front door opens into an open plan living area which also provides bedroom accommodation: the use of a pull-down bed being an ingenious space saving device. A window, overlooking the front of the property allows for plenty of natural light to circulate.

The Ariston water heater is located here and there is also an integrated oven with a four-burner hob and extractor fan above, a single bowl stainless steel sink and a free-standing fridge-freezer.

Leading from the living room is a dressing room which offers a good amount of storage in addition to housing the electrical consumer unit for ease of access. To the left a sliding door opens into a shower room competed with marble-look wet walling and vinyl flooring.
