An attractive period mid-terraced house with a number of original features, such as a fantastic Inglenook exposed brick and stone fireplace with wood-burning stove, the stones and bricks of which came from the local mine (sunk in the 1890s).
The accomodation includes: lobby, spacious living-room, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, two first-floor bedrooms, and very useful upstairs cloakroom.
The living room is very large (measuring almost 16' x 16' ) and also has an alcove which is perfect for a dining table and chairs. To one side of the fireplace there is a raised timber plinth providing standage for a large TV, above which are halogen down-lighters. To the other side there is a hand-crafted display unit with shelving and storage cabinets.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of hand-crafted wooden units, and has a ceramic tiled floor. It is plumbed for both washing machine and dishwasher, and the washing machine, dishwasher and large fridge-freezer are all included in the sale.
The bathroom has a white suite and panelled bath, with a mains-fed over-bath shower. The walls around the bath are fully tiled with attractive ceramic tiles, and this floor is also covered with ceramic tiles. The room is attractively lit with halogen lighting.
The larger of the two bedrooms has a fitted wardrobe with over-head storage cupboard, while the second bedroom has a built-in storage cupboard and laminate flooring. The upstairs cloakroom also has laminate flooring, and is fitted with a white close-coupled wc and a wash basin in a vanity unit.
To the front of the house there is a large mature south-facing garden, which measures approximately 100 feet long. The garden is hedged with privet on both sides, and the patio area makes a peaceful and very private retreat. Much of the garden is laid to lawn; there are also numerous trees, shrubs and plants, a small vegetable garden, and a rockery. A timber garden shed is included in the sale.
At the rear of the house there is a hard-standing parking area for two cars which belongs to the property, as well as ample street parking.
Linton is a small colliery village with some 400 residents. The village benefits from a post office/village shop, public house, village hall, children's playground and playing fields, and an excellent primary school where the teacher/pupil ratio is at present 1/6.
Linton is located only a couple of miles from the east coast where there are some of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Northumberland. The attractive market town of Morpeth is 6 miles south-west of Linton and the city of Newcastle-on-Tyne is approximately 20 miles due south. There is very easy access to the A1 motorway, which links Newcastle and Edinburgh (which lies some 100 miles to the north).
The house is fully double-glazed and, as well as the wood-burner, has a LP gas-fired central heating system with combi-boiler. It also benefits from cavity wall insulation (guaranteed for 20 years), a double-lagged loft and holds a current Energy Performance Certificate.
The property is freehold, and there is no chain as the owners are moving to another home they have already purchased in the village.
This charming house offers excellent value for money, and would make a lovely starter home, retirement or even holiday home.
