Description

House hunters with 'Green fingers' will love the well stocked gardens at this bungalow in Alnwick. The rear garden is split into two halves with the lower end divided into a vegetable garden. Due to the elevated position of the property, there are wonderful views over to the coastline. Inside, the living space in the front lounge is open to the dining area at the rear, which leads out to the conservatory and kitchen. There are three bedrooms, of which two of them have fitted or built in wardrobes. The bathroom suite includes a separate shower cubicle as well as a bath. The long garage to the side has space for a workshop area at the far end, and a door out to the rear garden. Heating is via a gas boiler with radiators, and the windows are double glazed. Although the property does require updating, it is located in a fantastic cul-de-sac position with the most fantastic outlook at the rear.
