Furthermore, this home benefits from wooden windows, a uPVC front door, mains gas and electricity and has a good broadband connection and solar panels. This wonderful property is perfectly placed to enable you to become fully immersed in coastal life and the beach is only a short walk away!
Alnmouth is a picturesque Northumbrian coastal village offering a whole host of amenities such as restaurants, coffee shops, gift shops, public houses and a golf club. 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.
The open hallway offers a warm welcome to this impressive home. The hallway provides a useful cloaks area, whilst there are various doors leading off in both directions and a magnificent central staircase.
The kitchen flows freely into the dining room and is an ideal space in which to create culinary delights whilst sharing stories of the day with family and friends. The kitchen offers a range of wall and base units, including a bookshelf and glass display cabinets, with a country cottage-style door complemented by a granite effect work surface and harlequin splashback tiling. The large window illuminates the area perfectly and offers stunning views over the front garden. There is a twin bowl Franke sink, plumbing and space for a dishwasher, a Zanussi eye-level double oven and a four-burner induction hob with a built-in extractor fan above. In the utility room there is plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer, the gas boiler is housed here of ease of access, there is a single bowl stainless steel sink and loft access available.
Light and neutrally decorated, the dining room is entered through an archway from the kitchen and boasts a pair of sliding doors which open to the rear garden, providing easy access to enjoy the alfresco dining experience and a further opportunity to enjoy the pleasant rear garden views. Another door opens from here returning to the main hallway which provides access, via sliding doors, to a glorious garden room and is the location of the stairs leading to the first floor.
With stunning garden views, the lounge is bathed in natural light. The inglenook fireplace houses a woodburner and forms an attractive focal point whilst you are relaxing and unwinding after the hustle and bustle of the day or after returning from a day at the beach. A pair of French doors creates a seamless transition into the third reception room.
This reception rom is a superb multi-use room and could equally well be a playroom, a hobby room or a second lounge. Tastefully decorated, allowing the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish, this space is tremendously light and bright with a large window overlooking the front of the property.
The garden room with terracotta tiled floor takes full advantage of the views and natural light courtesy of the windows all the way around. French doors lead out to the patio, which can also be accessed from the dining room, allowing easy flow of movement from inside to outside: Again, perfect for enjoying time out in the open and alfresco dining.
From the main hallway a door opens to an impressive suite of rooms incorporating a ground floor bedroom, bathroom and sitting room. This is a versatile feature of the property as it could facilitate multi-generational living or be ideal as a guest suite if desired. The bathroom is extremely generously proportioned and comprises a double-ended white bath, a close-coupled white toilet, a large shower cubicle with a slimline shower tray and a sliding door, a pedestal wash hand basin, ceiling spotlights and a window to the front. The space is fully tiled, creating a crisp and fresh finish.
Taking the eye-catching staircase to the first floor, the landing divides both left and right and opens to 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a useful good-sized cupboard which houses the large hot water cylinder.
The primary suite is wonderful. A window overlooking the garden allows a wealth of natural light to illuminate this bright and neutrally decorated room. A dressing room flows freely from the bedroom space and offers his ‘n’ her wardrobes in addition to a third wardrobe. From this dressing space the large ensuite is entered. The coloured suite comprises a pedestal wash hand basin, a bidet, a close-coupled toilet and a large bath with shower taps. A window overlooks the front of the property with ceiling spotlights providing further lighting.
Bedroom 2 is another double bedroom with built-in wardrobes offering excellent storage. Views of the garden can be enjoyed whilst relaxing in this beautifully decorated room.
Crossing the main stairwell to bedroom 3, this room offers a built-in wardrobe and a window which takes advantage of the views of the rear garden, creating another large double room oozing comfort and relaxation.
Exuding a luxury hotel spa atmosphere, the family bathroom offers a large double-ended bath, a close-coupled toilet, a pedestal wash hand basin, a double-ended shower cubicle with a slimline shower tray and a sliding door, a chrome heated towel rail and an extractor fan. This is the perfect space in which to relax and enjoy a refreshing and revitalising experience.
Externally the gardens offered by this glorious house are beautiful. Unusually large for properties located in Alnmouth, the outside space is substantial, varied and distinctive. There is a mix of lawned and patio areas with a stunning beech hedge at the foot and the entire space is secure allowing for children and family pets to play safely. This is the ideal place to enjoy time relaxing and entertaining during the warm summer months or appreciating the ever-changing colours through autumn as winter approaches.
Little Woodlands is the superb one bedroomed annexe which is currently holiday accommodation. With plenty of parking, a gravelled drive, an alarm system, an enclosed garden and patio area, this dwelling is surrounded by mature shrubs and trees creating a glorious backdrop.
Entry is via a uPVC door which opens into a hallway showcasing Travertine floor tiles. Stairs lead to the first floor and the space beneath has been creatively transformed into a sizeable laundry cupboard housing a washing machine and a tumble dryer, both beneath a granite-effect work surface. The harlequin-style splashback tiling capturing natural stone and slate hues complete the space attractively and practically. A door leads from the hallway into a large single garage which would comfortably accommodate a car or provide ample further storage facilities.
The ground floor bathroom, with underfloor heating, has been fully tiled with Travertine tiles. There is a white bath behind a glass shower screen with shower taps and a separate shower extending from the wall, a white close-coupled toilet, a pedestal wash hand basin and a chrome heated towel rail. Ceiling spotlights add to the natural light entering via a window to the side.
The ground floor bedroom is a good-sized double with sliding doors opening to the patio at the front allowing you to enjoy a morning coffee whilst reading a book or magazine before breakfast. Two uPVC windows to the front allow a good amount of natural light.
Taking the stairs to the first floor and passing a window at the top for natural light, the landing opens to a tremendously bright and airy living-dining-kitchen space. This large area easily and comfortably accommodates sofas and a dining table with accompanying chairs making it a lovely sociable space. The kitchen offers a good number of wall and base units complemented by the slate and stone tiling.
