Occupying the ground and basement levels of this stunning Lodge residence, which was converted in the 1980s, Apartment 1 offers a unique abode and presents a stylish, versatile, and homely living environment. The entrance that leads into the reception hall gives a bright, ‘seashore’ sense of arrival with window-seating and an ornate vaulted ceiling providing an airy spot to sit and take in the fabulous views. In the sitting room there are floor to ceiling windows and a glazed door in the lofty bay alcove ensuring the room is filled with natural light and provides a seamless connection to the terrace leading on to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary, blue cabinetry and stone work surfaces, with a split level island unit, feature extractor, hob and ample space for relaxed dining and entertaining. A separate snug/guest room is reached from the hallway and links to the rear of the garage with flexible-use options including a home-office with an enviable outlook.

The ground floor residence offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, comprising a principal bedroom with breathtaking sea views to wake up to and an adjacent family bathroom. Bedroom 2 also has sea views and an en suite shower room whilst bedroom 3 has a modern en suite shower room and dressing area. The family bathroom offers a touch of luxury with large walk-in shower and free-standing tub. The property also has multi-functional studio accommodation at the basement level, where there is a beautifully-designed and characterful living area, kitchenette, bedroom and a stylish en suite bathroom.<br /><br />A length of gravelled driveway leads from the street to the parking space and the garage which are allocated to Apartment 1. A wrought-iron gate to the side gives access to a paved walkway leading to the entrance to the home and extending to provide a newly landscaped garden terrace adjoining the property. This sunny setting has a south-easterly aspect and offers opportunities to sit, dine and relax whilst enjoying the splendid shoreline views in addition to the well stocked flower beds and vegetable patch.

At the rear, stairs lead down to the golf course and seafront providing excellent easy access for shoreline walks or a round of golf at the very popular Alnmouth Village Golf Club. Gardens and parking are in short supply with properties in the village so the inclusion of these, together with a private garage and large cellar, which could be further developed (subject to any necessary consents) are premium selling points.<br /><br />The property enjoys a hidden central village position, set back from the main street and beside the church and with commanding views towards the golf course and the sea. With its beautiful beaches and wide range of cafés and restaurants, Alnmouth offers a good selection of amenities for day-to-day needs including a village store, a deli and village pubs, gifts shops, a primary school and the oldest 9 hole links golf course in England. And, if Golf is your thing, Alnmouth Golf Course and Foxton Hall is just up the road to the North and provides Stay & Play packages in what is coined the 'Jewel in the Northumberland Golfing Crown'.

Alnmouth is a relatively central spot from which to explore the rest of the Northumberland Coast, be it to the North or South. Good road links means that it is also a great starting point to explore inland, rural Northumberland too.
A railway station just on the edge of the village provides direct services to Newcastle, London Kings Cross and Edinburgh and there is ample parking at the station itself.

The nearby historic market town of Alnwick provides a wider range of facilities, including supermarkets, independent shops, primary and secondary schooling, a modern leisure centre, playhouse/cinema, hospital and Alnwick Castle and Gardens. Berwick upon Tweed and Newcastle are both within easy reach and provide further comprehensive leisure, shopping and medical facilities.
For road-users, the nearby A1 provides access north to Berwick and south to Newcastle City Centre and Newcastle International Airport.
