Property description

Re/max Northumberland are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous 1 bedroomed 2-storey cottage brimming with character and charm located in the idyllic seaside village of Alnmouth. The property boasts a superb outside area by way of a generously sized attractive enclosed yard to the side. The height of wall and fence affords a good deal of privacy and, with the addition of a barbecue and colourful pots of flowering plants and herbs, it would be the perfect place to enjoy seaside alfresco dining during those warm summer months, having returned from a day on the beach which is only a stone’s throw away! The appeal of this lovely cottage impresses from the point of entry as features such as the quality double glazed sash windows, exposed beams and roof trusses are immediately eye-catching. In addition this home offers an attractive wood burner and an efficient electric boiler central heating system.

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 places 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.

Entry is via a wooden front door into an ‘L’ shaped lounge area which incorporates the stairs to the first floor and leads round to the kitchen area. The neutral decoration is beautiful and captures the country cottage cozy feel perfectly. The stylish slate floor extends throughout the entire downstairs creating a seamless transition between the different areas. The cupboard beneath the stairs offers excellent storage for coats and cloaks and such like. Within the lounge area natural light enters through a good-sized quality sash window which has a lovely deep windowsill and looks out over the front of the property. The inglenook fireplace with wood burner is a lovely focal point to the room and works in harmony beautifully with the wooden beam across the top and the surrounding exposed brickwork and attractively-placed spotlights. The cupboard next to the wood burner houses the hot water cylinder and provides excellent ease of access. Further heating in this room is by way of a radiator. There is space for a dining table and accompanying chairs. The kitchen offers plenty of solid wood wall and base units finished with a beautiful granite work surface with a matching upstand. In addition there is an electric under-bench oven, a four-burner electric hob, a white ceramic sink and an under-bench integrated fridge. The neutral tiling complements the kitchen perfectly. A quality sash window allows for natural light to enter and ceiling spotlights add to the brightness. A wooden stable door leads to the yard area.

Taking the stairs to the first floor, you appreciate the pleasing views of the village. The window at the top of the stairs offers a vista over the estuary and the landing area is wonderfully light and bright courtesy of two further sash windows. The spacious double bedroom offers a fully vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and roof trusses which adds to the overall character and charm, and the décor creates a French chic atmosphere. Natural light floods into this space making it wonderfully light and bright.

The bathroom suite comprises a fully tiled double-sized shower cubicle with a sliding door and a shower over, a white WC and a pedestal wash hand basin with splashback behind. The same slate tiled floor features here also, creating a link between the areas. In addition, there is an electrically heated towel rail.
