Outside Description
The apartment has the use of a large grassed area within the walls of the garden, perfect for football practice and containing a large trampoline. The tennis court is accessed through the curtain wall and the woodland beyond. As well as down the road there is access to the village across the field through a private gate in the garden wall - a 10 minute walk.
Downstairs Description
The house is built around a 14th century pele-tower (fortified dwelling), with a Georgian manor house on the south side, and a Victorian wing to the east; all 3 parts are 3-storey in height. The house was divided into 3 apartments in 1968, and the part to which this statement applies is the whole of the top floor.
The apartment has its own front door, accessed from the stableyard to the north of the house. Entry is from the minor road leading down to the village of Craster, through electric gates which are controlled by a button on the gate pillars (button height 1.85m). Departure is by means of an electronic beam breaker. There is ample parking for up to 5 cars within the stableyard, which is cobbled and where the EV points are located, and cars can be driven right to the front door.
Through the door is a stone-flagged entry hall, with a toilet and wash basin off, a glass screen and through the screen a further hall giving access to the stairs. Off this inner hall is a large utility room with sink, washing machine, tumble dryer and airer. The pipes for the central heating and hot water pass through this room which therefore acts as a drying room.
There are 2 flights of stairs, with a small half landing, up to the first floor where there is a larger mezzanine landing with a table-football. From there the stairs go straight up to the top floor.
Second Floor Description
Once on the top floor the apartment consists of a large sitting room with a log burner and views to north, east (over the harbour) and south; a large fully equipped kitchen with seating for 8, a wall mounted TV and a music centre; a long gallery, running the full length of the house, off which on the east side are a small bathroom and an east facing wing with two twin bedded rooms (each with wall mounted TV), a shower-room and a family bathroom. On the west side are two large double-bedded rooms, and a small play area for children (with TV and a games console), while finally, up a further short flight of stairs, is the drawing room at the top of the pele tower, with its grand piano. The apartment is carpeted throughout (including the stairs) with the exception of the utility room, kitchen and bathrooms all of which have vinyl floor coverings. There is a 55ins Smart TV in the sitting room, and Wi-fi throughout.
Window Views Description
From the sitting room there are extensive views eastwards out to sea across the harbour, south down the coast across the garden (depending on the season - better in the winter months when the trees are no longer in leaf!), and north to Dunstanburgh Castle. The small east facing bedroom has a stunning view out to sea, which is especially useful for those who enjoy spectacular sunrises, while the other 3 bedrooms have extensive garden vistas. The drawing room, with its enormous west-facing window, is the ideal location for a "sundowner".
