House For Sale £400,000
Re/max Northumberland are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous 3 bedroomed bungalow located in the Northumberland village of Longhoughton. This extended family home has been finished to a high standard, incorporating Amtico flooring and neutral decor with white doors throughout. The property benefits from glorious cottage-style wrap-around gardens, as well as a superb amount of Tarmac driveway parking leading to a superior double garage with two up and over doors and an apartment above. The home benefits from an independent septic tank, uPVC windows and doors, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. This comfortable family home, with an adjacent apartment above the garage and occupying a beautiful garden plot, makes it one of the most sought-after properties in the locality - a gardener’s paradise just a stone’s throw from the idyllic Northumbrian coastline.
Longhoughton is a rural village with a range of facilities including a supermarket, ‘The Running Fox’ bakery and café, a Primary School and a church and a community centre with playground and sports area. Being a short distance from the beach this village is the perfect place in which to enjoy coastal walks appreciating the scenery, heritage and spotting vibrant wildlife. The village is only a few minutes’ drive from Howick Hall, Gardens and Arboretum where you can enjoy stunning gardens and woodland walks whilst ending your visit with a cup of tea and slice of cake in the gorgeous tearoom. Alnwick is a short drive away with its cobbled streets and beautiful old buildings.
Entry to this lovely property is through a set of iron gates and down a long Tarmac driveway leading to the front door, which opens into a spacious and open hallway with various doors leading off. The first main door leads to the light and bright lounge, with a sizeable bay window overlooking the driveway and a window overlooking the front garden. Colonial shutters adorn both windows and a gas fire set into a stone chimney breast forms an attractive focal point.
The lounge opens into a sizeable dining room with French doors leading to a conservatory and a window overlooking the front garden, again with colonial shutters. The dining room leads into the kitchen with a set of French doors opening to the good-sized conservatory, with two sides of glass windows and a glass roof, which in turn opens out to the decked area located in the rear garden. From the conservatory there is a door leading to the utility room which offers a terracotta tiled floor, plumbing and space for a washing machine, a tumble dryer and a fridge-freezer, a further single bowl sink, as well as granite effect work surfaces with neutral splash back tiling. There is entry back into the kitchen, a window overlooking the lovely rear garden and loft access from this point.
The recently re-fitted kitchen offers attractive grey shaker-style wall and base units including a glass display cabinet, a good number of pull-out units and a built-in dresser area. There is an eye-level oven, space for a microwave and space for a free-standing fridge freezer. There is plenty of light grey granite-effect work surfaces which incorporates a bowl and a half stainless steel sink, a 4-burner ceramic hob with a glass splashback behind and a chimney-style extractor fan above. There is plumbing and space for a free-standing dishwasher. A window overlooks the conservatory which allows for a pleasant view and natural light to enter. Further lighting is by way of spotlights to the ceiling and the space is finished with luxury vinyl flooring, creating a sleek look.
The hallway, with a window with colonial shutters at the far end allowing for natural light, opens out to the accommodation area. There is a large cupboard housed here offering superb storage potential and access to the loft is from this point also.
The master bedroom is a good-sized double room offering grey fitted wardrobes. The dual aspect allows plenty of natural light to circulate with windows overlooking the garden and beyond over to the sea. Colonial shutters adorn the windows.
The ensuite wet room comprises a waterfall shower head and a separate shower head behind a glass shower screen, a bidet, a comfort WC offering extra height with a push button above, and a pedestal wash hand basin. The space is finished with non-slip flooring and a window overlooking the garden allows natural light to enter.
Bedroom 2 is another double room with a window with colonial shutters overlooking the front of the property. This room offers two fitted wardrobes.
The family bathroom is large room which is floored with Amtico, showcasing a tiled look, and the walls are fully tiled. The suite comprises a close coupled WC, a large corner bath with chrome shower taps and a separate electric shower behind a shower curtain, a pedestal wash hand basin, an extractor fan and an electric shaver point.
Entry to the separate apartment is via a set of steps at the side of the garage. The views from this apartment are breath-taking across to the coast where you can watch ships sailing by and enjoy the relaxing vista as you sit at this vantage point. A set of French doors lead to an open plan kitchen/living room. The gas feature fireplace with wood surround forms a focal point. The room is beautifully light and bright courtesy of the French doors to the rear capturing sea views and a large window overlooking the front.
The kitchen offers a good number of white units complemented by attractive grey work surfaces and plenty of splashback tiling. There is space for a free-standing cooker beneath an extractor fan, and a free-standing fridge-freezer. In addition there is a blue bowl and a half sink and there are further cupboards offering superb storage potential. Natural light enters by way of a window overlooking the sea views.
Leading from the living room is a good-sized double room overlooking the front of the property, with a bathroom leading off. The suite comprises a separate shower cubicle with electric shower, a white WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and an electric shaver point. There is a cupboard housing the boiler for ease of access here. Two windows allow for natural light. This area is a superb asset to the property as it offers a range of uses - multi-generational living opportunity, a guest suite, hobby room, a home office or a playroom.
Externally, the rear garden is a delightfully unique and private space. There are plenty of mature borders showcasing an abundance of roses and there is a paved patio area at the foot of the steps leading from the decked area, which is accessed from the conservatory in the main home. A gentle stream trickles through the garden and an attractive bridge takes you over to a second area, a hidden gem. You are immediately impressed by the range of different trees and shrubs which are home to a whole host of vibrant wildlife. Practically, there is a metal storage container and a greenhouse, perfect for whiling away the hours growing vegetables and plants which could be added to this already stunning outside space.
