Located in the sought after village of Shilbottle, just a short drive from the larger historic town of Alnwick, this larger-style three-bedroom, two reception room house offers excellent family accommodation with flexible living space as well as huge potential to improve and extend (subject to planning permission).

The layout follows a traditional format with a main hall leading off to most of the downstairs rooms and staircase to the first floor. The two separate reception rooms allow for flexibility with use of the living space, and chimney breasts in both rooms offer an opportunity to re-instate open fires or install wood burners, creating characterful and cosy rooms. Rear garden views are enjoyed from the dining room, and a separate store room provides a useful addition to the kitchen.

The bathroom and three well-proportioned bedrooms are located upstairs. Amazing coastal views from the first floor are the main attraction and a stand-out feature of this property.

Occupying a generous sized plot – at the front a gated driveway leads to the garage and garden. Whilst laid mainly to lawn, the rear garden also includes a brick-built garden room and adjoining workshop.

Shilbottle is a small village with a huge community spirit.  There are local shops including two minimarkets, a chemist, a takeaway, hairdressers and a renowned Indian restaurant, however if you are looking for a larger supermarket and high street shops, Alnwick is on the doorstep.  There is also a spa with gym and swimming pool and a local pub.  The primary school has a high reputation whilst the secondary school is a bus ride to Alnwick.  The community hall is a hub for many activities enjoyed by the young and mature and there are several clubs who hold meetings on a regular basis.  The local bus service is regular and visits Alnwick and Morpeth with connections to Newcastle and Berwick and the closest train station in Alnmouth provides a fast train service to Edinburgh and Newcastle city centre.  If you are looking for coastal and beach walks, Alnmouth and Warkworth are within easy reach and the harbour town of Amble has many excellent restaurants and coffee shops.
