Description

YOPA are extremely pleased to bring to the market this beautifully presented, fully refurbished, modernised and extended 3 bedroom link/semi-detached bungalow with garage (electric sectional up and over door) and driveway parking to the front. This property will please a modern family, being designed for versatility and comfort. It boasts a HIVE heating system which can be remotely controlled, an outside tap, outside electric point, wood and coal store and the electrics extend to the garage area. The property has uPVC windows and doors, gas central heating and all other usual main connections. It is also freehold and chain free.

The fabulous town of Alnwick, with its cobbled streets and beautiful old buildings, has recently had the honour of being voted one of the best places to live in the UK. Alnwick is a town brimming with history and culture, from the tranquillity of Barter Books to the splendour of Alnwick Castle. The town benefits from excellent transport links with frequent buses between Berwick, Morpeth and Newcastle and, as it is situated just moments from the A1, it is perfect for those needing to commute. 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 the front door which leads into an internal porch with solid oak flooring which runs through most of the home. A wooden and glass door takes you into the main hallway which has beautiful flooring and various doors leading off. A particular feature is the charming vaulted ceiling with skylight. Loft access is also available and a good size cupboard near to the front door is fitted with a shelf and hangers, an ideal cloaks space.

The first door leads into the lounge which has a large window to the front allowing natural light to flood the room along with ceiling spotlights. There is an inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel wood burner, a lovely focal point to the space. Moving around a corner takes you into a dining room which in turn opens through into a lovely garden room at the rear of the house. This room has a tiled floor, a designer style radiator, UPVC windows and doors, two Velux windows in the ceiling which is vaulted with spotlights and French doors which open out onto a paved patio area at the side. There are delightful views over open countryside and enticing snippets of the sea can also be seen.

A door leads off the dining room into the kitchen which has been refitted and modernised to a high standard. There are a range of wall and base units, a large 5 burner gas hob with a fabulous designer style extractor fan above, two mirrored front ovens (the top one is an oven-grill-microwave, whilst the bottom is an oven grill), fully integrated fridge with freezer compartment below, fully integrated full-size dishwasher and a bowl and a half stainless steel sink with Quooker tap. These are complemented by white brick style splashback tiling, a fully tiled floor and ceiling spotlights. A window to the front allows for natural light to add to the brightness of the space. A wooden and glass door leads into a rear hallway/porch where the gas boiler is housed along with plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A UPVC door takes you out to the side of the home.

There is a separate cloaks with lovely half tiling to the walls, oak flooring, a white WC, vanity unit with square-shaped sink on top, chrome heated towel rail and a window to the rear.

The master bedroom is a good size double with a large built-in wardrobe with mirrored doors. The room is neutrally decorated and a large window to the rear makes this a bright and airy space.

Bedroom 2, on the other side of the hallway, is another good size double with a window to the rear.

Bedroom 3 is a good size single with a sliding door mirrored wardrobe and a window to the front. It is used by the current owners as office space but it could be a multi-use room.

At the end of the hallway is the bathroom which has been extended and stylishly refitted. It has a fully tiled floor and walls, a low maintenance ceiling with spotlights, large wet walled shower cubicle with a sliding door housing a waterfall shower head with separate shower head, close coupled push button WC, large double-ended white bath with shower taps and shower head attached on the wall, pedestal wash hand basin, designer style radiator and a chrome heated ladder towel rail. A window overlooks the garden allowing natural light into the room.

This property also benefits from a pretty but low maintenance garden which has a paved patio area that then steps down to a lower section of the garden where there are lawned areas, paths, gravelled areas, a rockery section and a further patio area where you can sit and relax.
