Description
Eglingham is a traditional end-terraced family home offering deceptively spacious “Tardis-like” accommodation arranged over two floors.

The ground floor comprises two well-proportioned reception rooms, one of which features an attractive open fire, creating a warm and inviting living space. To the rear of the property is a generous dining kitchen fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by ample worktop space. The kitchen also benefits from an attractive fireplace with stove and a door providing direct access to the enclosed rear courtyard.

The property also benefits from a self-contained annexe, accessed via the kitchen and enjoying its own private main door entrance. Recently refurbished to a modern standard, the annexe comprises a bright and spacious lounge with large windows allowing an abundance of natural light, a bedroom, and a contemporary shower room. Offering excellent flexibility, the space is ideally suited for extended family living, guest accommodation, or potential holiday-let use, subject to the necessary consents.

Access to the first floor is available via two separate staircases, a main timber staircase rising from the front entrance hall and an additional staircase leading from the kitchen, creating a unique and versatile split-level arrangement throughout the property.

Stairs rise from the entrance hallway and divide to create a versatile arrangement. One side hosts two spacious bedrooms and a separate WC, while the other leads to two further generously proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower cubicle. Several of the bedrooms benefit from double-aspect windows and original working shutters, while exposed timber floorboards enhance the bright and airy feel throughout the first floor.
