Kirkwell Cottages, High Hauxley, Morpeth, Northumberland

3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Morpeth

A Three-Bedroom Property Requiring Complete Renovation, with Open Views and Excellent Potential

Situated in High Hauxley, close to the beautiful Northumberland coastline, this three-bedroom property offers an opportunity for purchasers seeking a comprehensive renovation project.

Requiring extensive modernisation and refurbishment throughout, the house offers three first-floor bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen, entrance conservatory, adapted wet room and an additional rear extension. The accommodation is complemented by front and rear gardens, generous driveway parking and a single garage.

The property's principal attractions are its open views to both the front and rear, its generous accommodation and its potential for transformation. The rear extension is unfinished externally, and its planning and building regulations status has not been confirmed.

This property will appeal particularly to purchasers with the experience, resources and vision to undertake significant renovation work and create a home to their own specification.

The Accommodation

Entrance Conservatory

A uPVC entrance door opens into a conservatory overlooking the front garden. Sliding patio doors lead into the living room, while a separate door provides access to the central hallway.

The conservatory offers additional space but forms part of the overall refurbishment opportunity.

Entrance Hallway

The hallway provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms, with a staircase rising to the first floor.

Living Room

A generously sized, dual-aspect living room with sliding patio doors opening into the front conservatory and French doors to the rear. A traditional brick fireplace houses an open fire, while laminate flooring extends across the room. The rear doors open into an enclosed outdoor cat enclosure, which could be removed or adapted as part of the renovation.

Dining Room

A separate dual-aspect reception room with windows to the front and side. The room requires complete updating but provides useful additional living space and could offer potential for reconfiguration, subject to any necessary consents.

Kitchen

The kitchen has windows to the side and rear and is fitted with an existing range of wall and base cupboards, together with spaces for freestanding appliances. The room requires complete refurbishment and offers the opportunity to create a new kitchen layout. An understairs cupboard houses the electrical meters and provides storage.

Rear Extension / Garden Room

An additional ground-floor room is accessed from the kitchen and benefits from extensive glazing and a door opening into the rear garden. Originally constructed as a garden room, it has subsequently been used as a bedroom. The extension requires significant work, and the exterior remains unfinished, with exposed blockwork.

The planning permission and building regulations status of this extension have not been verified. Purchasers should make their own enquiries and obtain appropriate professional advice regarding its construction, compliance and intended future use.

The room requires modernisation but offers generous proportions and space for bedroom furniture.

Bedroom Two

The white suite includes a pedestal washbasin and close-coupled WC. A window overlooks the fields to the rear, while a built-in cupboard houses the hot water cylinder and provides additional storage.

The room forms part of the property's wider refurbishment requirements.
