The Vault cottage is a stunning conversion of an old bank and is a 2 bedroom quality holiday let with a stunning terrace area.
Immaculately presented and steeped in history, these three properties are irresistible. We are delighted to welcome to the market three stunning properties, formerly an old bank, located in the lovely Northumberland village of Belford. The properties, which are all incredibly successful holiday lets, exude character and charm and retain original features indicating their previous life as the village bank. From the point of entry onwards, you are left in no doubt of the quality and style of living offered by each of these delightful cottages.
The Vault, accessed by an exterior door which leads into a porch area. A door to the left opens into Vault Cottage’s glorious beautifully presented lounge with a walled-off staircase leading to the first floor and a cupboard beneath offering excellent storage. A large window overlooks the front of the property and allows a tremendous amount of natural light to enter this superbly restful room.
The kitchen-diner, with ceiling spotlights, is a uniquely shaped room reflecting its history as the village bank. It offers plenty of wall and base units with a mushroom-coloured shaker-style door complemented by a solid wood worksurface and brick-style splashback tiling. There is a single bowl stainless steel sink, an electric under-bench oven, a four-burner induction hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan, plumbing and space for a free-standing washing machine, space for an under-bench fridge freezer and further storage cupboards. A dining table and accompanying chairs can be easily accommodated. A fire door provides access to a waste store area which also forms a utility area which is shared by all three cottages. The gas boiler is housed here for The Vault.
Taking the stairs to the first floor, the oak handrail is striking. The landing, with loft access above, opens out to two bedrooms and a bathroom, in addition to an exquisite outdoor raised terrace.
Bedroom 1 is a good-sized double with a door opening to the outside terrace. Gloriously private with magnificent views, this is the perfect place to relax in the sunshine with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee or enjoying breakfast in the morning.
Bedroom 2 is brimming with character and has three windows capturing a pleasant outlook. Both bedrooms are beautifully presented and ooze elegance and charm.
The bathroom, with vinyl flooring, comprises a white bath with a glass shower screen and a separate shower, a white close-coupled toilet with a push button, a pedestal wash hand basin, and a fitted mirror with matching tiling to that around the bath and shower area. Natural light enters via two windows making it a wonderfully light and bright space.
The property has access a shared utility room, shared with the other two properties in the building.
