A fabulous period property. We are delighted to welcome to the market this incredibly well-cared for 3 bedroomed semi-detached 1934-built property located in the Northumberland town of Alnwick. This wonderful family home, with many original period features, benefits from driveway parking leading to a single garage, attractive cottage-style front and rear gardens, uPVC windows and doors, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. As a main or second home offering light and bright living, this property is superbly located in a much sought-after residential area with elevated position and lovely views all the way to the coast and is within walking distance of the town centre, local shops and bus stops.

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.

Entry is via the front door into a welcoming hallway with stairs leading to the first floor and various doors leading off. The property benefits from a useful cloaks cupboard and storage beneath the stairs.

The lounge is gloriously light and bright courtesy of a large bay window overlooking the front of the property. The elevated views over the town captured from the window adds to the sense of space offered by this comfortable room. The electric feature fireplace forms an attractive focal point and the wood surround and granite-effect hearth and back is in keeping with the age of the property, as are all the handles which adorn the doors as you move through the different rooms. The period features continue in the lounge as you note a picture rail and an original cupboard with glass doors above.

The second reception room is the dining room, which is used as a sitting room by the current owners. There is another substantial bay window overlooking the rear garden and allowing a huge amount of natural light to circulate. This room, with a good height of ceiling, contains an attractive electric feature fireplace and a picture rail adding further character. This room benefits from additional storage in the form of built in cupboards and shelving.

The kitchen offers a good number of wall and base units with a wood-effect door complemented by a granite-effect work surface and matching neutral splashback tiling. The bench lighting illuminates the space perfectly as the evening draws in and the addition of the breakfast bar is beneficial. There is an under bench double oven, a four-burner gas hob with a built-in extractor fan above, plumbing and space for a dishwasher, a single bowl stainless steel sink and a glass display cabinet. The Baxi gas boiler is housed in a cupboard in the corner for ease of access. This kitchen also boasts a large pantry with a superb amount of shelving.

A uPVC door leads out from the kitchen to the conservatory. Also leading from the kitchen is the utility room which offers space for a fridge freezer, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer in addition to further work surfaces and storage. A window overlooking the side allows for natural light.

The ground floor WC is fully tiled to the floor with half-tiling to the walls, and comprises a close-coupled white toilet, a pedestal wash hand basin and a window overlooking the side. This is a useful addition to the home as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities.

The hexagonally-shaped conservatory to the rear, with laminate flooring matching that of the kitchen and utility, is a superbly light and bright room capturing views of the private rear garden, which is securely fenced to allow children and family pets to play safely. The hedge surrounding it forms an attractive backdrop and the landscaped railway sleeper planters form a glorious feature. Mature borders surround a circular lawn and two separate gravelled sitting areas, one of which is covered under a pergola and the other located in front of the bay window.

Taking the stairs to the first floor you are immediately impressed by the splendid arched stained-glass window which greets you at the top. The landing, with loft access above, opens out to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The primary bedroom is a large double room to the front of the property with a bay window matching that of the lounge below. The elevated views across to the sea are superb. This room benefits from a good number of built-in wardrobes, bedside tables and a built-in dressing table with drawers. There is an original feature fireplace with attractive tiling and a picture rail adding further character.

Bedroom 2 is another light and bright room. This neutrally decorated room with a burgundy feature wall offers floor to ceiling white fitted wardrobes. From a large window views of the rear garden can be enjoyed.

Bedroom 3 has been fitted as an office but could be another bedroom if you so wished. This room captures a pleasant view and offers fitted cupboards and desk in an attractive grey tone.

The family bathroom is a superb size and presents a boutique hotel feel. The suite comprises a white vanity unit with a sink on top, a close-coupled toilet with a push button, a chrome heated towel rail, a double-ended bath with a designer looking tap and an offset quadrant shower cubicle with a waterfall shower head and a separate shower head within. Two windows allow for natural light with additional lighting by way of ceiling spotlights. The two tones of tiling work in harmony with the wet walling within the shower cubicle creating a sleek and stylish finish.
