Whittingham, Alnwick

An absolutely stunning stone period property located in the picturesque village of Whittingham in Northumberland. Whittingham is a quaint rural village on the banks of the Aln River located approximately 8.5 miles west of Alnwick in Northumberland.

Oozing charm and character, this former Post office cottage and adjacent barn have been united to form one amazing and substantial property that offers a versatile layout and stunning gardens within an idyllic village setting. A sumptuous blend of contemporary styling, modern fittings, and period features have created a luxurious but homely atmosphere. Whilst the accommodation may be utilized as four-five bedrooms and additional multi-use spaces, the original cottage and post office form the main hub of the property with a central living room and dining kitchen that feature a double-sided stove within an dual aspect Inglenook. Through an interlinking hall, further bedrooms and living space have been created in the conversion of the barn, where large characterful arched windows offer wonderful views of the landscaped gardens. Servicing the bedroom accommodation there is an ensuite five-piece bathroom, downstairs shower room, and a four-piece bathroom in part of the attic conversion in the cottage. The large shaped lawn at the rear has been surrounded by mature well-stocked flower beds and planted areas, as well as a long fruit garden to the side and seating areas.

The quirky and unconventional layout is most definitely the appealing feature of this fabulous property, where the desire for a cosy country cottage is fused with spacious and versatile accommodation.
