A delightful stone-built property sold with no chain offering spacious light and bright living. We are delighted to welcome to the market this incredibly attractive fully renovated 3-storey 2–4 bedroomed Grade II listed property located in the lovely Northumberland village of Belford. The property exudes character and charm, showcasing many original features including deep windowsills and high ceilings. The property benefits from newly fitted wooden double glazed sash windows, a rear courtyard, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections.
Entry is via the wooden front door into an internal hallway with stairs leading to the first floor. Two reception rooms lead off. The wooden cottage-style doors throughout complement the period of the property perfectly.
The lounge, with gorgeous wooden ceiling beams, sash windows and wall lights, is a wonderful newly carpeted and welcoming room. The brick and stone inglenook fireplace, which could incorporate an electric fire, impresses immediately and adds to the ambience of the room. An area which leads off the far end of this room overlooks the rear courtyard, where there is also a useful under stairs cupboard. Another staircase leads down to access the kitchen-diner and the rear door. There is also another useful cupboard beneath the stairs in this rear area.
Opposite the lounge is the second reception room. This space could be a further bedroom if you so wished, or would be ideal as a snug or home office. The stripped wood ceiling beams work in harmony with the two wooden sash windows which allow plenty of natural light to circulate. Artificial light is by way of wall lights and the room has been finished with a sumptuous new carpet.
Returning to the rear of the lounge and taking the stairs down, the half landing leads to a wooden stable door providing external access, a wooden sash window and a convenient WC. The suite comprises a heritage-style white pedestal sink and a white close-coupled toilet with a push button. The gas boiler is housed here for ease of access and there is a small loft opening. The exposed stone wall is an attractive feature, acting as a reminder of the heritage of the property.
A further flight of stairs, passing a small storage cupboard, leads to the basement kitchen-diner. This unique space is glorious with oak floorboards and plenty of wall and base units with a shaker-style door and a solid wood worksurface. The grey brick-style splashback tiling and pewter-coloured door furniture complete the look. The kitchen is equipped with an integrated slimline dishwasher, a bowl and a half stainless steel sink with a large drainer, an under bench electric oven and a four-burner induction hob beneath a black chimney-style extractor fan. In addition, there is space and plumbing for a washing machine and a superb amount of room for a dining table and accompanying chairs. Natural light enters via a distinctive curved window opening out at pavement level, with further lighting by way of wall and ceiling spotlights.
A room leads from the kitchen-diner and offers a whole host of possibilities of use: another bedroom, home office or a hobby room. With a view over the rear courtyard, white painted wooden ceiling beams and undulating walls, this room leaves you in no doubt of the character of the property.
Returning to the main hallway from the main lounge, the staircase, with an exposed brick wall, leads to the first floor. The large landing opens out to two bedrooms, a spacious airing cupboard offering ideal shelved storage space, and the family bathroom.
The primary bedroom is a good-sized double overlooking the front of the property. The semi-vaulted ceiling, wooden sash window and exposed roof trusses and brickwork, add to the charm of this restful room.
Bedroom 2 is a large L-shaped double room with a wooden sash window overlooking the front. Featuring exposed trusses and beams, this room offers a built-in cupboard ideal for storage.
The family bathroom, with LVT flooring and exposed beams, comprises a white toilet, a white bath, a pedestal wash hand basin and a shower tray with a glass surround with a waterfall and separate shower head within. The space is almost fully tiled and a wooden sash window overlooking the rear of the home allows for natural light.
Externally there is an enclosed rear yard with gates to open and park a car behind to the rear of the home.
