The Counting House is cottage number 2 (of three available) within the
beautifully restored building, formerly the Bank in Belford. Benefitting from
gas central heating and all the usual mains connections, this lovely holiday
let has been modernised and altered to create a wonderfully contemporary
living space. Sharing a front door with cottage number 3 (The Vault), the
communal internal hallway leads straight ahead to the wooden front door of
‘The Counting House’.
The north Northumberland village of Belford is just a short distance from
Northumberland's Heritage coastline. The ancient market town of Belford was
for many years a coaching stop on the main London to Edinburgh road. Located
midway between the coast and the beautiful Northumberland National Park, and
midway between Alnwick and Berwick Upon Tweed the town offers a Primary
school, doctors, dentist, supermarket, public houses and restaurants, a number
of independent shops, a community gym and a bus service runs between Berwick
and Newcastle on Tyne.
Entry is into the L - shaped kitchen which offers a good number of wall and base
units with a grey shaker - style door complemented by a solid wood worksurface
and neutrally ‘Farrow & Ball’ - style coloured splashback tiling. Equipment in
the kitchen comprises a single bowl stainless steel sink, an electric under -
bench oven and a four - burner induction hob beneath a chimney - style extractor
fan. Spotlights provide artificial light set within a high ceiling, and vinyl
flooring completes the look. At the other end of the kitchen, there is another
area where there is plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a
fridge - freezer. The solid wood worksurface continues here creating a seamless
transition between the two. A window allows for natural light and a door opens
into a lovely dining room which has a large window overlooking the centre of
the village. An open staircase leads to the first floor whilst a cupboard
beneath the stairs offers excellent storage potential. This living - dining
space is spacious and is a wonderful relaxing area in which to spend time with
family and friends.
Taking the stairs to the first floor, the oak banister rail and metal spindles
catch your eye. The attractive landing, with loft access, opens out to two
double bedrooms, the bathroom, and a cupboard which houses the Baxi gas
boiler.
The primary bedroom is a beautiful room which is immaculately presented. A
double - glazed window takes advantage of the pleasant view leading out of the
village. The room offers a walk - in cupboard with shelving and hanging space.
Bedroom two captures views of other buildings of a historic nature, which adds
to the atmosphere that this glorious property offers.
The family bathroom, with vinyl flooring and a radiator, offers a close -
coupled toilet with a pushbutton, a large white bath with a shower screen and
a separate shower over the bath, and a pedestal wash hand basin. The space has
been filly tiled around the bath and shower area.
Although part of a set of three, this cottage, as with cottages 1 and 3, could
be purchased independently of the other two. They are currently incredibly
successful holiday let, s ideally placed as a base from which to explore the
stunning Northumberland coastline or the Cheviot Hills, in addition to being a
short distance from Scotland. Equally, the three cottages would appeal to
those working from home or as a second ‘Coastal Retreat’ home. The whole
complex of properties presents a myriad of exciting opportunities and could be
the dream you have been waiting for.
The property has access a shared utility room, shared with the other two
properties in the building.
