The Property
Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Lesbury, with riverside walks on the doorstep, The Gallery is a charming Georgian semi-detached stone cottage. Ideally situated between the historic market town of Alnwick and the beautiful Northumberland coastline, this location is a favourite among tourists. Currently operating as a successful and well-established holiday let, The Gallery also offers the perfect opportunity for those seeking a home that effortlessly combines the best of both coastal and countryside living.
Recently renovated to a high standard, the property now benefits from open plan living on the ground floor. This warm and welcoming space incorporates traditional and contemporary elements. A cozy seating area is centered around an impressive original inglenook fireplace, now enhanced with a modern wood-burning stove, creating the perfect spot for relaxation and gathering. To one side, French doors flood the room with natural light and provide easy access into the front garden.
The U-shaped kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring modern shaker-style wall and base units that provide ample storage. The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-ring gas hob, a built-in Bosch electric fan oven and microwave, and other integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. A small breakfast bar offers a casual dining option, while there is plenty of room for a separate dining table and chairs. The adjoining utility room, conveniently located inside the front porch, offers additional storage and is fitted with a washer/dryer and a classic Belfast sink.
Completing the ground floor is a spacious and inviting double bedroom, offering both comfort and convenience. This bedroom features an access door leading directly to the rear of the cottage and boasts a luxurious marble-tiled en-suite shower room, complete with a rainforest showerhead and underfloor heating.
Ascending to the first floor, the landing offers ample space for a small workstation, making it an ideal spot for a designated home office or reading nook. The generously sized second bedroom enjoys a touch of rustic charm with a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams. Thoughtfully designed storage areas have been built into the alcoves and double doors lead to a spacious, modern en-suite bathroom. This beautifully appointed bathroom features a wet room-style rainfall shower and a deep, freestanding contemporary bathtub.
Externally
The property features a charming south-facing enclosed garden at the front, bordered by an attractive array of mature shrubs, providing a burst of color and a natural barrier for privacy. The space is thoughtfully designed with a stone and gravel patio, perfect for outdoor seating and entertaining. This area is separated from the road by a neatly trimmed hedge and an elegant archway. Beyond the patio, a well-maintained lawn extends towards the front gate, which offers direct access to the village’s public pathway. At the rear of the property, there is convenient off-street parking available for two vehicles, providing easy access while keeping the front garden undisturbed and serene.
