Guyzance is the location of this property with the thriving former mining village of Shilbottle close by. Enjoying the benefit of a rural community but with easy access to a greater range of facilities nearby in Alnwick, Shilbottle village has a small range of amenities including village store, post office, chemist, Primary School, a leisure complex with pool, gym, spa and beauty facilities, a public house, a restaurant and take-away and a well-used community centre. The East Coast Mainline is only a short five-minute drive from the village offering easy access to a variety of different locations including Newcastle and Edinburgh City centre.

A garden gate opens to a path leading down to the impressive wooden front door, with a rectangular window allowing for natural light, which opens into an entrance hallway offering useful storage space for shoes and coats and such like, as well as a cupboard housing the Worcester boiler for ease of access. Quality stone tiling extends throughout most of the ground floor from here creating a seamless transition between the different spaces.

The first main door opens to the L-shaped lounge which is gloriously light and bright courtesy of a large window overlooking the front and a stunning cart arch window to the rear. You are left in no doubt of the quality of finish offered by this gorgeous country cottage-style property from this point of entry onwards. Engineered oak flooring furnishes the space beautifully, with this being the only downstairs room not floored with stone tiles, and the orientation of the room is such that it allows a great deal of flexibility in placement of furniture making this a wonderfully sociable space in which to spend time with family and friends. A door leads from here into a rear hallway, with another superb cart arch window and stairs ascending to the first floor, the space beneath which houses the ground floor WC. The suite comprises a Heritage-style close-coupled toilet with a push button behind and a wall-hung hand wash basin with half tile surround.

The kitchen-diner is located to the rear of the property and is stunning with a cart arch window allowing a huge amount of natural light to circulate in addition to opening into the rear garden where you can enjoy alfresco dining during those warm summer months. A further door provides alternative external access. The kitchen offers a good number of wall and base units with a wooden door complemented by an attractive laminate wood block-effect work surface creating a wonderful country cottage-style kitchen. Two butchers blocks form a moveable central island offering additional storage and versatility and a wooden wall-mounted plate rack adds further appeal. The kitchen is fitted with a four-burner electric cooker beneath an extractor fan, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a dishwasher, an acrylic bowl and a half sink, and space for a free-standing American-style fridge freezer.

Taking the stairs to the first floor and passing the half landing which is illuminated by light entering from a conservation Velux window, the main landing opens out to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The country cottage character and charm continue here as the shaped ceilings and exposed beams are present throughout. The bedrooms are all furnished with a sumptuous carpet which adds comfort as you move between the different spaces.

The primary bedroom is a spacious L-shaped double with two conservation Velux windows. There is plenty of space to accommodate a range of additional bedroom furniture.
