Occupying the first floor of a village pub, this five-bedroom, stone-built property is comfortable and cosy, with the surrounding area overflowing with footpaths and cycle routes waiting to be explored. The cobbled market town of Alnwick is nestled in the heart of Northumberland, famous for its unspoilt beauty – hailed as one of the most picturesque areas of countryside in the whole of Britain. Explore the maze of cobbled streets, narrow alleys and fine stone buildings of Alnwick town centre 9 miles away, which houses an excellent range of specialist shops and family businesses. Discover the iconic Alnwick Castle, a popular filming location, complete with magnificent medieval architecture and gorgeous Italianate staterooms. The Pennine Cycle Route 68 passes within 1 mile of the property, perfect for exploring your wonderful countryside surroundings.
Through a private entrance at the rear of the pub and up a flight of moderately steep steps, you’re welcomed into the entrance hallway of the property, with a large storage room ideal for bikes. The hallway leads to the spacious lounge, complete with ample comfy seating and a large TV, flooded with natural light from the picture windows. The open-plan kitchen/diner is well-equipped with everything you need to cater, plus two dining table sets and panoramic views through the treble window across the Vale of Whittingham. Back through the property, you’ll find a south-facing double bedroom, complemented by a walk-in wardrobe, a large en-suite bathroom, and an additional annexe room within it, simply furnished with a single bed, ideal for a family. The rest of the property comprises four twin bedrooms benefiting from en-suite shower rooms, each full of traditional farmhouse-style character.
