The Property

This Georgian townhouse, dating back to 1740 and Grade II Listed, is located in the heart of Alnwick just a short stroll from the Alnwick gardens. Thought to be once owned by the Duke of Northumberland to accommodate the dowager, the house was later home to the town?s doctor. The property was split into 2 residential dwellings in 1826. The house is comfortably and attractively presented, still having many of the original features. There are working shutters, deep skirting boards, high ceilings, ceiling roses, wide staircases and original fireplaces. Accommodation, to the ground floor comprises:- entrance hall leading to the sitting room with its original fireplace, polished floorboards and sash windows looking to the front of the property. The kitchen also leads from the hall which is a lovely, homely entertaining space and is well equipped with fitted units, a range cooker, extractor hood and dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is a fully fitted, functional utility room which leads to a shower room with WC and wash hand basin.
To the first floor is an impressive drawing room with attractive marble fireplace and French doors which each open onto a veranda with views over the town. Also on this floor, at the rear of the property, is a double bedroom with built in cupboard.
To the second floor are 3 further bedrooms (2 doubles and a single, one bedroom is currently used as a studio) and an attractive family bathroom with exposed brick wall. To the next level, and running to the extent of the entire floor, is an impressively large master bedroom with lovely views towards the Alnwick gardens and across the rooftops of the town. The property also has the benefit of a good size cellar which has been tanked and could be suitable for a variety of needs.
