Spacious Period Apartment with Elevated Views in the Heart of Alnwick A wonderfully light and spacious two-bedroom period apartment, occupying an elevated position within an attractive stone-built property in the historic market town of Alnwick.

Combining generous proportions and characterful original details with well-considered modern updates, this distinctive home offers an appealing opportunity as a main residence, second home or Northumberland base.

The apartment retains a wealth of period character, including high ceilings, original coving and picture rails, cast-iron fireplaces, traditional doors and original door furniture, while replacement uPVC sash-style windows complement the style of the building.

Its elevated position brings plenty of natural light into the accommodation, together with attractive views across Alnwick and, from the kitchen, towards the coast.

Accommodation Access is from the side of the handsome stone-built building, opening into a cloaks area at the foot of the staircase.

A particularly attractive wooden handrail follows the stairs to the apartment, where a spacious, naturally lit landing provides access to the principal rooms.

Original doors and period ironmongery immediately establish the character found throughout the property.

The lounge is an especially inviting room, centred around an impressive bay window with a built-in window seat.

From here, the elevated position provides lovely views across Alnwick, creating an ideal spot to sit and enjoy the outlook.

An electric feature fire positioned against the chimney breast provides a natural focal point, while original coving, picture rail and the generous ceiling height add to the room's sense of elegance and space.

The kitchen is another bright and generously proportioned room, with two windows bringing in excellent natural light and offering views in the direction of the coast.

A beautiful cast-iron range provides a striking reminder of the property's heritage and sits comfortably alongside contemporary Shaker-style cabinetry.

There is a good range of wall and base units, a stainless-steel sink, four-zone induction hob with splashback and chimney-style extractor, electric under-counter oven and space for a freestanding fridge freezer.

Stylish flooring completes the room, while a door provides access to a small rear outside area with space to sit.

The principal bedroom is an excellent-sized double, benefitting from two sash-style replacement windows, high ceilings and a traditional picture rail.

A particularly attractive original cast-iron fireplace adds further character and creates a wonderful focal point.

Bedroom two is another generously sized double bedroom, again retaining the period feel of the apartment with a sash-style window, picture rail and excellent proportions.

The family bathroom is fitted with a P-shaped bath with electric shower over and glass screen, pedestal wash basin and close-coupled WC.

Neutral stone-toned tiling surrounds the bath and shower area, while a rear-facing window provides natural light.

A useful separate laundry cupboard sits alongside the bathroom and has its own window, plumbing and space for a washing machine, together with additional storage potential.

Location The property is superbly positioned for enjoying everything Alnwick has to offer, with the town centre, independent shops, everyday amenities and bus services all within walking distance.

A convenience store is situated immediately below, adding to the practicality of the location, while on-street parking is available in the surrounding area.

Alnwick is one of Northumberland's most attractive and historic market towns, renowned for its cobbled streets, traditional architecture and thriving centre.

Landmarks including Alnwick Castle, The Alnwick Garden and Barter Books sit alongside an excellent collection of independent food shops, delicatessens, bakeries, butchers, cafés and restaurants, together with larger supermarkets and a wide range of everyday services.

For those travelling further afield, the town is conveniently placed close to the A1, with regular bus connections towards Morpeth, Newcastle and Berwick.

Alnmouth railway station is also only a short drive away, providing excellent rail connections along the East Coast Main Line.

With its generous room sizes, abundance of natural light, elevated outlook and wealth of original period detail, this is a distinctive Alnwick home with considerable charm.
