About this property
Steeped in Victorian elegance and timeless charm, this beautiful period house nestled in Alnwick blends original character with all your creature comforts, an ideal, peaceful retreat for families and couples alike. The historic market town of Alnwick boasts cobbled streets lined with a fantastic variety of independent shops, pubs, and cafes. The renowned Alnwick Castle, half a mile away, the second largest inhabited castle in the country, offers some wonderful medieval architecture to discover, as well as the beautiful castle grounds brimming with local wildlife. For nature lovers, Hulne Park, a mile away, is a beautiful public park that encircles the castle, offering scenic walking trails to enjoy on foot or by bike. For those looking to explore Northumberland’s stunning coastline, venture to the seaside village of Alnmouth, 5 miles away, to enjoy a traditional bucket and spade day along the breathtaking 7-mile stretch of sandy beach.
The pretty porchway with traditional tiled flooring sets a homely tone, blending style with rustic character, with the stunning wooden parquet flooring in the welcoming entrance hallway adding warmth and charm. Flooded with natural light from its south-facing windows, the lovely lounge is a bright, inviting space where relaxation is key. The original brick fireplace houses a roaring wood burner, retaining the property’s period charm, whilst an elegant chandelier and a beautiful Bentley piano add a touch of sophistication. The heart of this stunning holiday escape is the fabulous kitchen/diner; sleek, contemporary design, a bold and bright colour palette and a large quartz top island create the perfect space for cooking and socialising. The extension at the rear of the kitchen is a light-filled sanctuary, boasting patio doors and a glass ceiling, with two plush armchairs creating the perfect spot for your morning coffee. With views stretching towards the Northumbrian countryside and an original, ornamental red-brick fireplace, the master king-size bedroom upstairs is a tranquil retreat. The second king-size bedroom upstairs also features an original, ornamental red-brick fireplace and both west and south-facing windows, whilst the cheerful single bedroom is bathed in natural sunlight from the south-facing window. Also upstairs, the family bathroom retains the property’s period charm with a contemporary twist.
Outside, you’ll find a lovely, enclosed patio, perfect for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the fresh air. With an outdoor tap for cleaning muddy boots or paws, the patio is as practical as it is stylish. The outdoor workshop offers ample secure storage for bikes, surfboards, and beach equipment. Ample on-street parking is subject to availability.
