3 LOCATION Cavil Head Farmhouse is situated between the villages of Acklington and Warkworth in the heart of rural Northumberland. The property s position enjoys attractive views over the surrounding countryside. Acklington village benefits from a range of good local services including first school, village hall, auction mart, art studios and a public house. The location offers easy access to many of the attractions located along the glorious Northumberland heritage coast, including many beaches, castles and stunning coastline. A much larger range of services can be found at the coastal town of Amble (3 miles) and the historic market towns of Alnwick (11 miles) and Morpeth (14 miles) both of which offer an excellent range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. The property is located near to the A1 trunk road which provides easy access north to Edinburgh and south to Newcastle as well as the A189 which links to the north east side of Newcastle. Intercity rail services are available at Alnmouth (8.5 miles to the north) which offers direct northeast coast mainline services to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London Kings Cross. THE PROPERTY Cavil Head Farmhouse is a very typical house of its era, enjoying many of the features and benefits one would expect of such a house. These include excellently proportioned rooms, high ceilings and an extremely attractive exterior. Internally the property has recently been refurbished to the highest standard, but in a sensitive way combining contemporary flair with the combination of traditional features and details. Immense attention to detail has been used throughout, most notably in the quality flooring and the bathrooms and en-suites. The property enters into a porch which leads through to a spacious hallway providing access to the downstairs accommodation. The kitchen is a good size with ample room for dining and enjoys a range of base and floor units as well as incorporating a 3 door range cooker as well as numerous integrated appliances. The property benefits from 3 formal reception rooms with both the dining room and sitting room being south facing with pleasant views over the garden. Both enjoy solid timber flooring and windows to two aspects with the third reception room benefitting from a door leading to the side patio. To the ground floor there is also a study, utility room and plant room as well as a rear hall giving access to the back of the property. Two bedrooms, both of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms, are also located on the ground floor. These could, in conjunction with the family room, be used as a self-contained dependent relative accommodation or as they are currently as rental rooms in a bed and breakfast. The first floor, which is accessed by the main staircase in the hallway, provides 4 good sized double bedrooms all enjoying en-suite shower and bathrooms, again finished to the absolute highest quality.

4 EXTERNALLY The property is approached via a tarmac driveway which leads to a large parking and turning area to the front of the property.
