Property description
Tucked away in a peaceful position within the highly regarded and picturesque village of Acklington, this charming three-bedroom stone barn conversion offers an exceptional blend of character and contemporary living. Beautifully presented throughout, the property boasts generous accommodation, a detached games room/annex, and a substantial double garage, all set within a spacious and well-maintained plot. While enjoying a tranquil rural setting, the home is ideally positioned within easy reach of Amble’s vibrant harbour town and the historic market towns of Alnwick and Morpeth. The stunning Northumberland coastline is also just a short drive away, making this a truly enviable location.
Upon entering, the welcoming entrance porch leads into a spacious hallway, where oak flooring flows throughout the main living areas. The heart of the home is the open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area, designed for both relaxing and entertaining. The country-style kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, woodblock worktops, a ceramic sink, a gas-fired AGA range, a fridge freezer, a dishwasher, and a breakfast bar, all complemented by a window overlooking the rear garden. The generous living and dining space enjoys an abundance of natural light and offers direct access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room with additional storage, a stainless steel sink, tiled flooring, and a washer and dryer, alongside a convenient downstairs W/C.
Ascending to the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each featuring charming apex ceilings and exposed beams. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with a waterfall shower over, a glass shower screen, a close coupled W/C, pedestal wash hand basin, chrome towel rail, part tiled and panelled walls, tiled flooring, and ceiling spotlights. The landing also benefits from two large storage cupboards and a useful recess area.
Externally, the beautifully enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by fencing, and features a patio seating area—perfect for enjoying the warmer months. A standout feature is the detached timber annex, currently used as a games and TV room but offering versatile potential for a variety of uses, with an additional storage room within.
To the front, a gravelled driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the detached stone-built double garage, which benefits from power, lighting, and additional storage above. Subject to planning permissions, the garage presents potential for conversion.
Acklington itself is a sought-after village surrounded by open countryside, offering a peaceful retreat with the convenience of a local pub and excellent road links via the A1. Just a short drive away, Amble offers a range of local shops, cafés, and restaurants, while nearby Alnwick and Morpeth both offer a larger selection of traditional and national retailers and leisure amenities. Nearby attractions include Druridge Bay Country Park, with its stunning sandy beach, and scenic walks.
