## Description

Occupying a fantastic plot within a prestigious modern development in Alnwick, this four-bedroom detached house has a superb large south west facing rear garden with a sunny open aspect. Set back from the road, the position of this property sets this house apart from others nearby and those awaiting completion on the latest phase of the Story Homes Riverbrook Gardens development. It has ample space for multi-vehicle parking at the front, and is perfectly placed being not overlooked at the front or rear.

The bright and spacious open plan room at the back of the house features a central glazed walk-in square bay window with French doors out to the patio. This amazing space is ideal for families and has areas for seating, dining, and a luxury contemporary kitchen with integral appliances and a breakfasting peninsula. In addition to this open plan living space, there is a separate and more formal lounge at the front. 

All four bedrooms are sizeable double rooms, and along with the master bedroom, the second bedroom also has its own ensuite shower room. The bathrooms are beautifully tiled with a natural colour palette and the main bathroom has a separate shower cubicle as well as the bath. 

The accommodation offers a blank canvass for interior design, allowing a new buyer to put their own stamp on the property.
