Alnwick, with its cobbled streets and beautiful old buildings, has recently had the honour of being voted one of the best places to live in the UK. Alnwick is a town brimming with history and culture, from the tranquillity of Barter Books to the splendour of the Alnwick Castle and gardens. 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. The town centre also has excellent amenities including several banks, gp surgeries, dental practices and a fabulous leisure centre to name but a few.

The front door opens into a large internal porch which provides plenty of space to hang coats, and which features a good high ceiling. Two doors run off the porch, the first of which opens into a utility/boot room.

This space contains a good number of units with grey shaker-style doors, a single bowl stainless steel sink, plumbing and space for a washing machine, and space for a free-standing fridge-freezer. There’s bench lighting for tasks and spotlights in the ceiling. A hatch with a ladder provides access to a boarded loft space above. The same laminate-type hard flooring runs through the utility/boot room, the porch and the downstairs WC.

The downstairs WC has a window overlooking the side of the property, a pedestal hand basin with splashback, a close-coupled toilet, and a white towel rail.

The other door opens into the main living space, which is a lovely open-plan kitchen-dining-lounge area that has been extended to rear of property, making a fabulous entertaining space. Engineered oak flooring covers the space until the kitchen section, where the floor is tiled. An electric feature fireplace in the lounge area, surrounded by a media wall with space for a TV and additional shelving, immediately takes the eye. A window overlooks the front of the property, providing natural light, whilst the room is finished with coving.

A further sitting area offers a lovely wood-burner in corner, and provides space for a dining table or further seating capacity.

The kitchen-diner provides two sets of French doors that open out to the lovely landscaped rear gardens. This area has been extended and the Veluxes above allow plenty of natural light to circulate the space, whilst artificial illumination comes courtesy of a set of spotlights in the ceiling. The kitchen features a centre island with a bowl and a half stainless steel sink and a breakfast bar area with fabulous purple seating. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of white high-gloss wall and base units, an integrated microwave, a Zanussi underbench double oven, a Zanussi five-burner gas hob with glass and a stainless steel chimney-style extractor fan above, and a fully integrated slimline Zanussi dishwasher in the centre island. There is space for an American-style fridge-freezer, and the kitchen is finished with plinth lighting, black brick-style splashback tiling, a lovely wood-effect worksurface, and chrome switches and sockets, some with usb charging ports. There is so much natural light coming into the space.

A rear hallway provides a good-sized storage cupboard and access to a further downstairs reception room and the staircase.

The downstairs reception room would make a superb downstairs bedroom, a snug, an office, or a children’s play space, but is currently used as a formal dining room. A window overlooks the front of the home.

A window provides natural light onto the stairs, which open out onto the landing space, where there is access to the main loft over the house. On this floor there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a shelved cupboard on the landing for storage.

The main bedroom is a lovely sized and immaculately presented double, with two windows overlooking the rear of the home, and a bank of built-in wardrobes. The ensuite is a really good size and offers a separate shower cubicle with neutral tiling and an electric shower, a bank of built-in cupboards, one of which has a winged vanity sink on top, whilst the concealed cistern toilet is also built into the unit, a chrome heated towel rail, and a window overlooking the garden.

Bedroom two is another double, with two windows overlooking the front of the house, and offers lots of space for bedroom furniture alongside a double bed.

Bedroom three can also take a double bed, provides a big built-in wardrobe, and has windows overlooking the front of the home.

The family bathroom is a good-sized space, and comprises a white bath with shower taps, a pedestal hand basin, a close-coupled toilet, and a chrome heated towel rail. The room is finished with half-tiling around the toilet, basin and bath area, whilst a window overlooks the side of the house.

Externally, the garden provides a lovely decked area to the rear of the home with a balustrade around, a good high fence around the edge of the garden, and lawns to either side of a central path that runs down to a beautiful summerhouse. There is a further paved sitting area to rear of garden allowing the homeowner to chase the sun around the space.
