An authentic period property in one of the most sought-after residential areas, Elizabeth Humphreys Homes are delighted to welcome to the market this attractive 3 bedroomed, mid-terraced stone built property located in the Northumberland town of Alnwick. ‘Croft Dene’ boasts many original period features and an original wooden front door, alongside uPVC double glazed windows, and a modern gas boiler facilitating the central heating, plus all the other usual mains connections. While it will benefit from some modernisation, the house possesses considerable charm, integrity and atmosphere. This property is superbly located within walking distance of the town centre, local shops and bus stops and is just a few minutes’ walk from Barter Books, Alnwick Playhouse, The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei.
Alnwick is a town brimming with history and culture, from the splendour of Alnwick Castle and Garden to the tranquillity and well-stocked shelves of Barter Books. The town benefits from excellent transport links with frequent buses between Berwick, Morpeth and Newcastle, is a short drive to Alnmouth train station and, as it is situated just minutes from the A1, it is perfectly located 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 property’s small cottage-style front garden is framed by a low stone wall with a wrought iron gate that opens to a path leading to the front door. The porch entrance, with its original Edwardian tiling and coving, offers a warm welcome to the house while a further original wooden door with glass to either side opens into the main hallway. The stairs, ascending to the first floor, have a useful, roomy cupboard beneath them.
The first main door leading from the hallway opens into an elegant, spacious living room in which is showcased the impressive original ceiling plasterwork. A large bay window overlooks the front garden and allows a wealth of natural light to circulate. The solid-fuel feature fireplace with its cast iron insert, deep red tiling to either side and a slate hearth forms an attractive focal point and ensures that the room is the perfect place in which to relax during those cooler months. The living room affords plenty of space for a large sofa, additional comfortable seating and even, as is currently the case, a boudoir grand piano.
Displaying characterful stripped wood floorboards, the kitchen-diner is an appealing room, with its two light-enhancing windows capturing views of the cottage-style rear garden. A replastered ceiling retains its original coving, and the kitchen currently accommodates a variety of free-standing units, an attractive Belfast sink set within a wooden unit, a further wooden cupboard that also provides a solid-wood work surface, a royal blue coloured gas-fuelled Rayburn, and a lovely original built-in cupboard presenting further useful storage.
The utility room hosts a single bowl stainless steel sink incorporated into a wooden unit, plus an additional free-standing cupboard. There is an attractive and useful alcove within the chimney breast where previously there would have been an original range cooker but now is home to a dishwasher and a washing machine, adjacent to an original built-in cupboard. A large window allows for natural light while looking out onto the roses growing in the rear garden. A wood and glass door provides external entry to the garden. To the left of the utility room window, a lovely cottage-style door opens into the ground floor WC, handily one of two such facilities in the property. Within, there is a close-coupled toilet with a dual-flush push button, while a small window overlooks the rear garden. The space is complemented by cream-painted wooden floorboards.
In the hall, the wide staircase with its original handrail leads to the first floor of the property, the landing opening out to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Original floorboards are retained beneath the carpets and could be exposed if so wished.
The primary bedroom is a good-sized, light-filled double with a window overlooking the front street. This restful room incorporates a chimney breast with a fine, original Edwardian fireplace, currently hidden behind a chest of drawers, in addition to an original built-in wardrobe with a mirrored door, and drawer beneath.
Bedroom 2 is a spacious double taking advantage of views to the rear of the property. This room accommodates a built-in cupboard, and the gas boiler is also housed in this room.
Bedroom 3 is a single room to the front of the property, and is currently used as an office. All three bedrooms benefit from replastered ceilings and all convey, as indeed is the case with the rest of the house, a sense of calmness and relaxation.
The family bathroom is accessed via an original wood and glass door. The suite comprises a white bath with taps, a pedestal wash hand basin, and a close-coupled side-flush toilet. A uPVC window faces out to the rear. The space is finished with vinyl flooring.
The rear garden is accessed from the utility room via steps that lead to a combination of paved and hard standing patio area, a small herb bed and small raised beds, while a picket fence and additional steps separate this area from a further lower-level garden in which a small lawn, flower beds, apple and pear trees complete the space. Throughout the garden, a colourful selection of roses and a variety of cottage-style planting provides a lovely backdrop – an invitation to sit and relax outside when the sun shines. There are also two attractive and useful brick-built outbuildings at the bottom of the garden, one currently used as a coal shed, the other for general storage. A wooden back gate leads out onto a cobbled lane, which is accessible to residents’ vehicles if required.
