Upper Barrsdale, Alnwick, Northumberland

An extremely well looked after and very well presented family home within walking distance of the town centre. We are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous 3 bedroomed semi-detached property located in the Northumberland town of Alnwick. This welcoming family home benefits from block-paved driveway with wrought iron gates to the front with secure off-street parking, low maintenance front and rear gardens, uPVC windows and doors, good broadband connection, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections.

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 the Alnwick Castle and gardens. The town benefits from excellent transport links with frequent buses between Berwick, Morpeth and Newcastle and is a short drive to Alnmouth train station 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 GP surgeries, dental practices and a fabulous leisure centre to name but a few.

A light and bright internal porch with uPVC windows all the way round welcomes you to this family-friendly home. A wood and glass door opens to the living room with stairs leading to the first floor.

The dual aspect living room, with a window to the front and one to the side, is bathed in natural light and is a comfortable and restful room. This room boasts a glorious feature fireplace with a granite-look hearth housing a gas fire which forms the most wonderful focal point, and the bay window to the front adds to the character exuding from this sociable and relaxing space. There are built-in cupboards to one side and shelving to the other side of the fireplace offering superb storage potential. The wood-look flooring extends to the connecting dining room, creating a seamless transition between the two spaces. The coving, ceiling rose, brass-coloured switches and sockets, and radiator cover adds further charm and character, and the cupboard beneath the stairs, which is accessed from the living room, presents additional useful storage.

A plaster archway forms the entrance to the dining room which the owners have utilised as a second living space. This room features coving, brass-coloured switches and sockets, a dado rail and an attractive electric wood burner which you can relax in front of in the cooler months, or, in the summer months, enjoy the rays of sunshine which cascade into this space courtesy of the French doors which open into the beautiful rear garden.

The kitchen, with grey washed flooring, leads from the dining room and is another spacious room with two windows overlooking the rear garden allowing you to enjoy the views whilst creating culinary delights in the kitchen. There are a good number of white high-gloss wall and base units complemented by a granite-effect work surface and a darker granite-effect splashback extending up to join the wall units. There is space for a free-standing cooker beneath a built-in extractor fan, a single bowl stainless steel sink, plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. In addition there is space for an under-bench fridge, a freezer and a slimline free standing dishwasher. Furthermore, there is a large cupboard perfect for housing a hoover and other such items. A uPVC door opens to the rear garden and a second uPVC door, with a window adjacent, opens towards the driveway at the front of the property. The space is finished with high polished chrome switches and sockets.

Featuring a panelled wall leading up the stairs, another example of the quality offered by this property, the landing opens to three bedrooms and the family bathroom as well as providing access, via a uPVC door, to the roof terrace.

The primary bedroom is a large double room overlooking the rear of the property. This sunny and bright neutrally decorated room features coving, laminate-type flooring and a full bank of built-in wardrobes.

Bedroom 2 is another spacious double room offering plenty of floor to ceiling built-in storage. This restful room overlooks the front of the property.

Bedroom 3 is a single room, incorporating the head of the stairs, to the front of the property. All the rooms are beautifully neutrally decorated, allowing the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish, and are finished with laminate-type flooring, perfect for easy maintenance.

The family bathroom has been converted to a wet room but could easily be reconverted back to incorporating a bath if you so wished. The anti-slip floor, full wet-walling around the shower area and partial tiling to the one wall creates a fresh and crisp finish, and a window overlooking the rear allows for natural light. There is a pedestal wash hand basin, a concealed cistern toilet within a good number of built-in units, a chrome heated towel rail and an electric mirror.

Externally, the rear garden is a beautifully well landscaped outside space. There is a decked area with a balustrade leading to a covered paved seating area beyond and a further paved area allowing you to follow the sun around the garden as the hours pass by. This is the ideal garden in which to entertain family and friends and participate in the alfresco dining experience. The acers which punctuate this glorious space form a stunning backdrop in addition to the mature fruit trees which feature to one side. The space is securely fenced to allow children and family pets to play safely.
