A delightfully located house with an imperial view

This spectacularly located house originally dates back to the 1800s. It was extended in the 1970s to provide the well-thought-out and comfortable family home it is today. The downstairs living accommodation is comprised of three main reception rooms, including a generous sitting room with stunning views across rolling farm land to the sea. This pleasing space with its solid-fuel fire, is perfectly set up for entertaining. It has two sets of patio doors that open on to a delightful east-facing morning terrace which provides a great spot for breakfasting on a fine day. The spacious farmhouse-style kitchen provides plenty of space for family and informal dining and enjoys a southerly aspect. It is fitted with a good range of painted units, a large larder and has provision for a table. An electric Aga with Aims (Aga Intelligent Management System) provides a primary cooking source and there is a separate four-burner hob. There is space for an under-counter fridge and a dishwasher. A sizeable utility room houses the boiler and is fitted with units to complement those in the main kitchen. There is useful space for additional appliances such as a washing machine, tumble dryer, chest freezer and fridge/freezer. A versatile second reception room is currently used as a family den and adjoins a south-facing sun room with a tiled floor and garden access. A good size study, due to its close proximity to the cloakroom, could be utilised as a fourth bedroom.

There are three double bedrooms on the first floor including the master suite which stands apart and is served by a modern shower room. The two remaining bedrooms are generously proportioned (one of which could easily be divided to create two smaller rooms) and are served by a family bathroom. All bedrooms are fitted with full-height wardrobes.

This property has 0.27 acres of land.

Outside

The quiet lane which leads up from the village of South Charlton gives access to an area of hardstanding with parking for a number of vehicles. There is also vehicular access from the lane to a further sizeable area of hardstanding located at the rear of the outbuilding.

Situation

The Whinny is situated in an isolated rural position close to the charming village of South Charlton. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is conveniently located for easy access the A1 and routes to the North and South.

For day-to-day shopping the nearby village of Christon Bank has a post office/general store, as well as a public house. The historic market town of Alnwick is less than 7 miles to the south. It is well served by local shops/supermarkets and provides excellent schooling, healthcare and leisure facilities, as well as having close proximity to a mainline station. The property’s situation offers access to some of some of Northumberland’s finest beaches.

Directions

From the A1 follow signs for South Charlton. Drive through the village and at the sharp right-hand bend, take the track on the left immediately before Charlton House and directly opposite the farm. Follow the track and The Whinny is on the left. NB: Sat Nav users may not find the post code helpful in the latter stages of the journey.
