Folly Dyke is a beautifully presented stonebuilt property of some 2,100 sq. ft. of flexible, light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor accommodation has a welcoming wooden floored reception hall and includes a large 24 ft. sitting room with wooden flooring and a feature fireplace with wood burning stove. There is also a neighbouring dining room with a large sky lantern and bi-fold doors to the garden. This room opens into a generous snug, towards the rear of the property, with wooden flooring, a large full height picture window and freestanding wood burning stove.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a spacious rear aspect kitchen with a range of wall and base units, modern integrated appliances and a useful fitted utility room with access to the side of the property.

On the first floor the property offers a large principal bedroom with fitted dressing room and modern en suite shower room, two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with builtin storage, and a contemporary family shower room. The property’s large remaining bedroom with vaulted ceiling, Velux glazing and en suite bathroom with contemporary freestanding bath can be found on the second floor. The upper floor rooms largely enjoy either garden views to the front or scenic views over Alnwick and towards the coast at the rear.

The historic market town of Alnwick, featured in The Times in 2020 as one of the best places to live in the UK, offers a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, supermarkets, Turnbull’s Foodhall and M&S Foods, public houses, restaurants, schooling, a hospital, GP and dentist surgeries and leisure facilities. It is also home to the major tourist attractions of mediaeval Alnwick Castle, Alnwick Garden and the world-famous Barter Books. Situated on Northumberland's Heritage Coastline, nearby Alnmouth was named one of the “best places to live by the sea” by The Times in July 2017 and offers a good selection of day-to-day amenities.
The area offers a wide range of beautiful country walks, golf clubs at Alnwick Castle and Alnmouth as well as a stunning local coastline.

Access to the remainder of the region is available via the A1 trunk road leading north to Berwick and Scotland and south to Morpeth and Newcastle upon Tyne. The railway station at Alnmouth has regular direct links to Newcastle and Edinburgh, with London Kings Cross just over 3 hours away.

The area offers a good selection of state schooling including St. Michael’s C of E Primary School, Swansfield Park Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) and Barndale House.
Newcastle upon Tyne offers a wide range of independent schools for pupils aged 3 to 18 years, including Newcastle School for Boys, Westfield School and Newcastle High School for Girls.

The property is set in around a third of an acre and is approached over a low-maintenance front garden laid mainly to level lawn screened by mature shrubs and trees and benefits from a driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. The remaining garden to side and rear aspects features areas of level lawn interspersed with specimen shrubs and trees and a large split-level paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole enjoying views over the town centre towards the coastline beyond.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
