Offering spacious, elegantly updated accommodation for up to eight guests, this chic and handsome townhouse makes a fabulous base for families and friends enjoying a well-earned getaway in a breathtaking part of Northumberland. The property lies in the conservation area, just a short walk from the centre of Alnwick, a popular market town with a wealth of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as a theatre, cinema, arts centre, and a thriving second-hand bookshop at the former train station. Just half a mile from the property are the town's two most famous landmarks: the historic Alnwick Castle to the north, and the magical Alnwick Garden to the east. The glorious Northumberland coast is within easy reach, with stunning beaches at Alnmouth, Longhoughton, and Warkworth (all within 8 miles). Other local attractions include Dunstanburgh Castle, Warkworth Castle, and Amble Marina (all within 10 miles).
Four stone steps lead up to the front door of this welcoming retreat, taking you via a cheery porch into a stylishly tiled hallway. As you explore the ground floor of this airy and inviting property, you will find the spacious, tastefully decorated lounge has a big bay window, a Smart TV, ample seating, and a striking feature fireplace. Further down the hall, for entertainment, there is a pool room with a Bluetooth speaker and seating. At the end of the hallway, a step leads down into the smartly arranged galley-style kitchen/diner, fully equipped to cook up a storm, with a characterful dining table and plenty of workspace, providing a wonderful spot to gather for a special occasion. Heading upstairs, the first floor offers three of the property's four cosy bedrooms. Here you can choose between two king-size rooms, each with an en-suite shower room, and a delightful twin. One of the king-size bedrooms offers a glimpse of Alnwick Castle through the bay window. The main family bathroom, with a free-standing bath and eye-catching decor, can also be found on the first floor. A further flight of stairs leads up to the second floor and the super-king-size bedroom, with two Velux-style windows offering a light and airy ambience, and a sofa bed suitable for a child to sleep on. This characterful room also has its own en-suite shower room. For flexible sleeping arrangements, the king-size and super-king-size bedrooms all offer zip-and-link beds that convert to twins on request.
From the kitchen, sliding glass doors lead out into the sweet and snug enclosed courtyard, a charming patio space with lighting and power, as well as a table and chairs, and a BBQ set into a large outdoor chimney for alfresco dining. There is on-street parking in front of the property along this quiet street, subject to availability.
