The Property
4 Lonkley Terrace is stone-built property with remarkably generous accommodation arranged over three floors. The property boasts high ceilings to create a feeling of space throughout along with a number of character features such as decorative cornicing and ceiling roses. There is scope to update and renovate, offering the perfect opportunity to put a personal stamp on a lovely home. The property is centrally positioned within the popular and historic village of Allendale and situated within easy walking distance of all village amenities.
The front door opens into the entrance hall with onward access to the principal living accommodation. The Sitting room sits to the front elevation and features an attractive stone fireplace to one side. To the rear is the fantastic open plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen blends contemporary touches and traditional elements. A large inglenook houses a striking range cooker, while the central work surface has a modern induction hob. The dining area is illuminated by the most eye-catching feature; a beautiful bay window with elegant stained glass upper panels. The bay window overlooks the courtyard beyond. To the rear of the kitchen is a useful utility room with adjoining WC.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, all of good size and served by a bathroom with suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC. There are two more bedrooms on the second floor. The larger of the two benefits from an en-suite WC. A large store could become a sixth bedroom if required, and there is great flexibility to configure a room as a study for anyone looking to work from home. There is good storage throughout the property, including a cupboard under the stairs and another on the first floor landing.
Externally
4 Lonkley Terrace has a private courtyard area with space to relax outdoors. An outbuilding to one side offers useful storage. The courtyard can be accessed from the utility room or down the side of the house via a covered outdoor area.
