4 bedroom detached house for sale

This property is a wonderfully welcoming home located in a much sought-after area. We are delighted to welcome to the market this attractive 4 bedroom detached family home. Offering a larger than usual footprint due to the garage being located separately to the rear, the property benefits from a newly fitted boiler, uPVC windows and doors, good broadband connection, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. Due to its location, the property appeals to families and those looking to retire into the countryside and, being sold with no chain, it is ready and waiting for its new owners to arrive.

The thriving former mining village of Shilbottle is the location of this detached property. Enjoying the benefit of a rural community but with easy access to a greater range of facilities nearby in Alnwick. The village has a small range of amenities including village store, post office, chemist, Primary School, a leisure complex with pool, gym, spa and beauty facilities, a public house, the locally renowned ‘Running Fox’ café, a restaurant and take-away and a well-used community centre. There is a regular bus service to Alnwick, Amble, and Newcastle. The East Coast Mainline is only a short five-minute drive from the village offering easy access to a variety of different locations including Newcastle and Edinburgh City centre.


The attractive front garden, with picket fence and path leading to the front door, welcomes you. The entrance hallway showcases stunning arts and crafts floor tiling, newly carpeted stairs ascending to the first floor, and various doors lead off. There is plenty of storage available beneath the stairs.

The configuration of the rooms on the ground floor are such that free flow of movement is easily achieved, as the kitchen and dining room are one large open space accessed from the hallway via a pair of French doors which open into the dining room end. The windows allow a tremendous amount of natural light to enter and a door provides external access to the rear garden. The kitchen offers a good number of wall and base units with a grey painted door complemented by an anthracite-coloured granite-effect work surface with attractive splashback tiling. The kitchen is fitted with a single bowl stainless steel sink with a drainer, plumbing and space for a washing machine, an under bench electric oven, a four-burner gas hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan and space for a free-standing fridge freezer. The boiler is housed in a cupboard for ease of access. The kitchen opens into the dining area with French doors into the hallway as previously mentioned. A dining room table and accompanying chairs can be easily accommodated, and the view over the rear garden makes this a pleasant place to sit and dine.

The lounge is a spacious and restful room with uPVC French doors leading into the landscaped rear garden. The L-shaped nature allows you the flexibility to arrange your furniture in a variety of ways depending on your requirements. A window overlooks the front adding to the amount of light already circulating from the patio doors. The space is finished with coving, a sumptuous grey carpet and is very well presented showcasing ‘Farrow and Ball’ type colours.

The ground floor WC is a superb asset as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a close-coupled toilet with a pushbutton and a pedestal wash hand basin with a white splashback tile. The space is tiled with the same tiling as adorns the hallway, creating a seamless transition between the different areas.

A window, which allows a good amount of natural light to enter, illuminates the foot of the stairs which ascend to the first floor. The spacious landing, with loft access above, opens out to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a good-sized cupboard formerly housing the hot water cylinder and now offering useful storage.

The primary bedroom is a large double room with a window overlooking the front of the property. There is a substantial built-in wardrobe and an ensuite. The ensuite, with vinyl-type flooring, comprises a corner shower cubicle with white neutral tiling within, a close-coupled toilet with a pushbutton, and a pedestal wash hand basin. The deep green colour of the walls set against the white tiling creates a sleek finish. A window to the side allows for natural light.

Bedroom 2 is another double room overlooking the front. The room is spacious enough to house a variety of bedroom furniture and offers space to accommodate built-in wardrobes.

Bedroom 3 is also a spacious restful room. A window takes advantage of the rear garden views and would make an ideal home office or playroom if you so wished.

Bedroom 4 is another double room overlooking the rear garden.

The family bathroom, with vinyl-type flooring, comprises a pedestal wash hand basin, a close-coupled toilet with a pushbutton, a shaver point, a white heated towel rail and a white bath with a shower tap regulating a waterfall showerhead and a separate showerhead behind a shower curtain. Natural light enters via a window to the rear.

Externally, the pretty landscaped rear garden offers a peaceful haven in which you can relax with family and friends. A paved area extends the width of the property which then leads, via a couple of steps, up to the lawned area framed by borders stocked with mature plants and shrubs. There is a summer house with a paved sitting area to the front. Boasting a good level of privacy, the garden is private. The single garage is in a block of three to the rear of the home and there is additional parking to the front if required.
