The beach and dunes are the perfect place to enjoy wonderful walks and to spot a range of nature and wildlife. Alnmouth train station provides easy access to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London and is within walking distance from the centre of the village. The historic market town of Alnwick is a 5 minute drive away and is a town full of history and culture, from the tranquillity of Barter Books to the splendour of Alnwick Castle and Garden. 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.
An attractive garden with a wrought iron fence frames the property as you approach an Indian sandstone paved area which forms a glorious seating space. A wood and glass front door opens into an internal porch with a lovely high ceiling, coving and a dado rail. Another wood and glass door opens into the main entrance hallway which offers a warm welcome and you are immediately impressed by the grand staircase, beneath an elaborate archway, which showcases attractive newel posts and spindles ascending to the first floor. The stripped wood floorboards work in harmony with the staircase and extend throughout most of the ground floor creating a seamless transition between the different spaces. Various doors lead off and there is a large and beneficial storage cupboard beneath the stairs.
Bathed in natural light courtesy of a large bay window overlooking the front of the property, the lounge is a beautifully presented spacious and inviting room. The centre ceiling rose complements the coving and the stone fireplace, housing a wood burner, entices you to sit before it during the cooler months. Bi-fold doors open into the dining room creating one large entertaining area or alternatively they can be drawn to establish two separate spaces.
A beautiful fireplace with a wood surround and a cast iron insert forms an exquisite focal point of the dining room which is an elegant room with a large sash window overlooking the rear courtyard. The coving and high ceilings add to the sense of grandeur and this is a pleasant room in which to entertain family and friends.
The kitchen offers a good number of wall and base units with a duck-egg blue door complemented by a solid wood work surface and stone-look splashback tiling. In terms of fitted equipment there is a bowl and a half ceramic sink, two ovens, a SMEG five burner gas hob beneath a stainless-steel chimney-style extractor fan, a pantry pullout, and a full height fridge. In addition, there is space for a full standing dishwasher. A breakfasting area provides further sitting space and is illuminated perfectly by light entering from a large wooden window overlooking the rear courtyard. A door leads into a utility space which offers further storage, a cupboard housing the large hot water cylinder, a single bowl stainless steel sink, plumbing and space for a washing machine, and space for two more under bench appliances. Two single glazed windows look towards the courtyard. A door at the end of the utility room leads to the ground floor WC, which is of benefit as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a close-coupled toilet with a push button and a Heritage-style Savoy full pedestal hand wash basin with a stone splashback behind. There are two built-in cupboards ideal for the neat storage of cleaning products and suchlike and two single glazed windows allow for natural light with additional lighting by way of ceiling spotlights.
