Front Street, Bellingham, Northumberland, NE48

Located in the centre of this bustling town, The Vault House is a very generous sized three double bedroom ground floor apartment with good sized accommodation, perfectly presented throughout and which has been used over recent times as a successful holiday let, but would suit full time occupancy by single people, professional couples, as well as retirement. A special feature is the original vault door to the bank vault from former days. This working vault door provides access to a bedroom. Incredibly, despite being in the heart of the town, this property enjoys substantial private gardens, which are approached via a private gate and stone steps to a stone walled and very well screened garden space, which includes a sheltered private outdoor eating area with outhouses, ideal for outdoor entertaining, a large stone outhouse and an enclosed glazed pergola with a large decked area overlooking the lawns. These gardens provide an ideal opportunity for a children's play area or for superb outdoor entertaining. The accommodation enjoys both oil-fired central heating and part double glazing and is rare gem of a property in this area, we would therefore strongly urge an internal inspection in order to fully appreciate what is on offer.
