Bede Street, Amble, Northumberland

An appealing stone-built property, beautifully presented and retaining many period features. We are proud to welcome to the market this fabulous 2 bedroomed terraced home. Currently successful holiday accommodation, this lovely property would be ideal as either a main home or second home. The property, which has been updated and redecorated to a high standard by the current owner, benefits from uPVC windows and a composite front door, a private rear courtyard, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. This home offers light and bright living and is perfectly placed to allow you to enjoy coastal life and to explore this area of outstanding natural beauty.

Amble, Northumberland's friendliest port, offers a wide range of amenities including a supermarket, shops, doctors, Primary schools and a High school, health centre, pubs and restaurants including vibrant seafood eateries. There is still a working harbour, a marina and a popular Sunday market. Many of the things to do in Amble are based on the very thing that almost completely surrounds it - water. Watersports, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing are all extremely popular. Amble is home to the UK’s only puffin festival, inspired by the colourful 36,000-bird colony nesting on Coquet Island, an RSPB seabird sanctuary a mile off the coast. Warkworth and Alnwick are a short drive away. Amble has a regular bus service to Alnwick, Ashington, Blyth and Newcastle, and it is approximately 4.5 miles to the mainline rail station at Alnmouth.

The internal hallway warmly welcomes you as you enter, and you are left in no doubt to the quality of finish from this point onwards: the wood-look flooring is glorious. Doors lead off left and right.

The first reception room, the lounge, is entered via a lovely original door. The high ceiling, original coving and picture rail are fine examples of the period features retained by this home. The impressive fireplace with marble surround, cast iron insert with tiling to either side and a slate hearth, forms an exquisite focal point which is enhanced by the wood wall-panelling to either side. The open fire is the perfect place to relax in front of whilst chatting to family and friends while a large window allows a huge amount of natural light to illuminate the features of the fireplace.

The dining room is another light and bright room. The inglenook fireplace with a wood mantlepiece is striking, and the shelving to one side is an attractive feature and ideal for displaying ornaments or photographs. Ceiling spotlights add to the natural light entering via a window to the front and a more modern coving completes the look. This is a superb multi-use room offering a great deal of versatility depending on your requirements.

Leading into the rear hallway the stairs ascend to the first floor. The high ceilings are impressive and the Velux window allows for natural light. In addition there is storage available beneath the stairs.

Towards the rear of the property, you enter the kitchen-diner which offers a good number of wall and base units, including a glass display cabinet, with a white high-gloss door with a copper-coloured handle complemented by black brick-style splashback tiling and a marble-effect work surface. There is an electric under-bench oven, a four-burner induction hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan, a bowl and a half stainless steel sink, space and plumbing for a full-sized free-standing dishwasher and space for a free-standing fridge-freezer. The gas boiler is housed in a cupboard in the corner for ease of access. A large window overlooking the rear courtyard allows a tremendous amount of light to enter, making this a wonderfully light and bright space in which to create your culinary delights. The dining space offers ample room to sit and dine. Adjacent to the kitchen is a boot room which presents shoe and cloaks storage.

With turquoise décor adding to the seaside theme, the stairs lead to the first floor and the landing opens out to two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The primary bedroom is a good-sized double exuding a sense of calm. The high ceilings, the seaside blue decoration and sumptuous carpet, make this a wonderful space in which to relax. A large window overlooks the front of the property and ceiling spotlights add to the brightness. There is loft access available from this room.

Bedroom 2 is another spacious double. This room is neutrally decorated allowing the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish. Also overlooking the front, this room is another light and bright restful space.

Fully tiled and with an abundance of natural light entering, the bathroom comprises a dark wood unit with a push button concealed-cistern toilet, a double-ended white bath with a matching side panel and a vanity unit with a sink on top. In addition, there is a separate shower cubicle with attractive grey internal wet walling and a shower within. A large window allows for natural light and in the evening catches the sunlight, so relaxing in the double-ended bath with the additional candles allows you to enjoy the ultimate bathing experience.

Externally, the rear courtyard is a suntrap and is the perfect place in which to appreciate a cup of coffee or a glass of wine whilst relaxing in the sunshine during those warm summer months. The charming, pink-painted floor brightens the space and creates a wonderful impact as you enter. The walls are a good height making it a lovely private space, and there is a door providing access to the lane behind.
