Recently voted one of the Sunday Times best places to live in Britain, Morpeth town combines stylish shops, a wide range of restaurants and bars, as well as a beautiful park and the William Turner garden. As would be expected in a large town there are supermarkets, doctor's surgeries, dentists, a large leisure centre, golf course, and a lovely stretch of the River Wansbeck to walk along. Morpeth offers excellent schools, leisure facilities, shops, restaurants and pubs. There is easy access to the A1 for commuting to Newcastle City Centre and good public transport links with regular bus services into Morpeth town centre and the nearby train station for services to Newcastle, Edinburgh, York and London Kings Cross.
Looking at the property from the front we have a quintessential stone built English country cottage set in a short terrace of similar property with only a few steps to the banks of the River Wansbeck and a couple of minutes to the main High Street and Carlisle Park. There is an area of allocated parking for residents only, behind which there is a planted area which hosts mature shrubs and bushes and behind that again we have a flagged pedestrian footpath inviting us up to the front door.
Entrance is gained via a period style timber door, with ornate period door furniture, straight in to the entrance lobby which boasts bone coloured stone tiling to the floor and space for cloaks. From here we have the stripped pine staircase straight ahead leading up to the bedroom and bathroom accommodation and a pitched pine door, with brass door furniture, to the right through to the lounge.
The lounge is a super-size with a medium oak engineered floor, newly installed wood burning stove with wooden mantle over, perfect for those cosy winter evenings home, and there is plenty of space for a large suite of furniture. The sense of space is enhanced by the high ceilings and minimal styling and we have a window with bespoke shutters looking out over the frontage. There is also access to an under stair cupboard providing that all important storage. From here we have a further pitched pine door opening through to the kitchen/diner.
The kitchen/diner is a generous size for a cottage and extends the full width of the property with oodles of natural lighting courtesy of a large window out over the garden and a part glazed timber door also opening to the garden. The kitchen has undergone extensive renovation and now offers: Plenty of wall and base units in a pale sage green painted finish with chrome handles, solid oak worktops and upstands, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble drier, over mounted white ceramic sink with a mixer tap over, integral dishwasher, Neff under counter electric oven, Neff four burner gas hob with a Neff extraction unit over and housing for a larger style fridge/freezer. The stylish finish is completed with a wall hung graphite radiator. There is also space for a family sized table and chairs.
Back through the property to the entrance lobby, where we have the lovely stripped stairs, with matching handrail leading up to the landing area.
The landing is spacious and has doors off to the bathroom, two double bedrooms and has the loft access hatch. The doors are the same pitched pine with brass handles that we saw downstairs providing a unity of space and reflection of the care and attention to detail that this property has received.
The first room to the left is the family bathroom.
The bathroom has undergone a complete refurbishment and now hosts a white contemporary style suite comprising of: A larger style bath with a shower over, large rectangular shower head and folding screen, low level close coupled WC and a wall hung rectangular washbasin with draws below, The walls are tiled to full height behind the bath and to half height behind the remaining sanitary ware in a dove grey cosmopolitan style tile which is laid in a brick pattern to 2 walls and in a herring bone pattern to the feature wall. The styling is complete with over sized complimentary ceramic grey tiles to the floor and a wall hung ladder effect radiator, The room has natural light provided by a large modesty window over the rear elevation.
Next to this we have the first of the bedrooms which is a double room with statement high ceilings enhancing the sense of space, a large built in cupboard and a window out over the rear elevation.
At the end of the hallway we have the master bedroom which is a generous double room as it extends the width of the cottage. This room boasts bespoke fitted furniture with a wardrobe, shelving and desk unit with oak top maximising the space available. We have plenty of space for a large bed and side furniture and the room has a large window out over the frontage which benefits from bespoke fitted window shutters making this a light and airy room.
Back through the property and out to the rear garden. The back garden is fully contained and offers a safe and secure space for pets and children to explore with a good degree of privacy, immediately out from the kitchen door we have a generous flagged patio area which provides options for seating and al fresco dining during the warmer months. The remainder of the garden has been laid to grass seed which is coming along well. We have: Raised veggie planters, and mature shrubs and trees which will provide a lovely splash of colour once in bloom. A town centre garden with this type of property is a rarity and a lovely addition to all that we have on offer here.
All in all we offer a stunning period cottage which is tucked away in a private location yet in the heart of the Town Centre. This fabulous property has been renovated to exacting standards with sympathy and style to provide a stunning home and the opportunity for the lucky buyer to simply unpack a bag and move in. This really is a rare find with parking provisions and a garden, only a viewing can reveal all that is on offer.
A high level of interest is anticipated and an early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
