An Individual Coastal Cottage in the Heart of Alnmouth — No Onward Chain

Tucked away along a quiet back lane in the heart of Alnmouth, this characterful cottage offers an unusual layout, original features and the opportunity to create a delightful coastal retreat. Offered for sale with no onward chain and benefiting from a parking space beneath the archway, the property provides accommodation that can be enjoyed in its present condition, with scope for cosmetic updating over time.

Arranged over several levels, the accommodation comprises a open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, a generous principal bedroom and bathroom.

Original stonework, a wood-burning stove, distinctive windows and sloping ceilings lend the cottage considerable character. Its discreet setting, just moments from the village's shops, cafés, restaurants and beautiful beach, makes it particularly appealing as a permanent residence or coastal getaway.

The Accommodation

Open-Plan Living, Dining and Kitchen

A traditional timber entrance door opens directly into a well proportioned open-plan room, providing a welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining.

The focal point is an original stone fireplace with a contrasting brick inset and hearth, housing a wood-burning stove. Windows to two aspects bring natural light into the room, with attractive plantation shutters providing a traditional finishing touch.

There is ample space for comfortable seating and a dining table, while practical tiled flooring extends throughout.

The kitchen occupies one end of the room and is fitted with Shaker-style wall and base units, contrasting black laminate worktops and neutral tiled splashbacks.

Appliances include an undercounter electric oven, electric hob and extractor, together with a stainless steel sink, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a freestanding fridge freezer.

A wall-mounted electric heater supplements the wood-burning stove, while a cupboard houses the electricity meter and consumer unit.

An open-tread staircase rises to the first floor, with useful storage beneath.

First-Floor Landing

A double-door cupboard provides shelved storage, while an additional landing area offers space for occasional furniture or a small reading corner.

Principal Bedroom

The principal bedroom is a particularly spacious and attractive room, with coomed ceilings and a chimney breast creating useful alcoves for freestanding furniture. There is ample space for a king-size or super-king-size bed, together with additional bedroom furnishings. A rooflight with an integrated blind and a tall, narrow dormer window with curved reveals introduce natural light and architectural interest. A fitted cupboard provides hanging and shelved storage, while a wall-mounted electric heater offers additional comfort.

Bathroom

The generously sized bathroom is finished in pale blue and neutral tones, with geometric-patterned flooring and a window providing natural light. The suite comprises a panelled bath with tongue-and-groove detailing, an electric shower over, pedestal washbasin and close-coupled WC. A white electric heated towel radiator completes the room, while a built-in cupboard houses the hot water cylinder and provides useful storage.

Accessed from the first-floor landing, a further room offers flexible space for a home office, dressing room, reading room or occasional sitting area or bedroom three. A rear-facing window provides natural light, and a wall-mounted electric heater offers comfort.

A second staircase leads to a characterful room with coomed ceilings and low-level windows to the front and rear. The space is sufficiently generous to accommodate a king-size bed and offers potential for a variety of uses.

Parking and Outside Setting

A parking space is available beneath the archway, providing a convenient facility in the heart of the village. The precise nature of the parking rights should be confirmed through the property's title documentation.

The cottage is approached from a quiet back lane, while some of its windows overlook a neighbouring gravelled courtyard area. No private ownership of that courtyard is implied.
