The Counting House is cottage number 2 (of three available) within the beautifully restored building, formerly the Bank in Belford. Benefitting from gas central heating and all the usual mains connections, this lovely holiday let has been modernised and altered to create a wonderfully contemporary living space. Sharing a front door with cottage number 3 (The Vault), the communal internal hallway leads straight ahead to the wooden front door of ‘The Counting House’.
Entry is into the L-shaped kitchen which offers a good number of wall and base units with a grey shaker-style door complemented by a solid wood worksurface and neutrally ‘Farrow & Ball’-style coloured splashback tiling. Equipment in the kitchen comprises a single bowl stainless steel sink, an electric under-bench oven and a four-burner induction hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan. Spotlights provide artificial light set within a high ceiling, and vinyl flooring completes the look. At the other end of the kitchen, there is another area where there is plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a fridge-freezer. The solid wood worksurface continues here creating a seamless transition between the two. A window allows for natural light and a door opens into a lovely dining room which has a large window overlooking the centre of the village. An open staircase leads to the first floor whilst a cupboard beneath the stairs offers excellent storage potential. This living-dining space is spacious and is a wonderful relaxing area in which to spend time with family and friends.
Taking the stairs to the first floor, the oak banister rail and metal spindles catch your eye. The attractive landing, with loft access, opens out to two double bedrooms, the bathroom, and a cupboard which houses the Baxi gas boiler.
The primary bedroom is a beautiful room which is immaculately presented. A double-glazed window takes advantage of the pleasant view leading out of the village. The room offers a walk-in cupboard with shelving and hanging space.
Bedroom two captures views of other buildings of a historic nature, which adds to the atmosphere that this glorious property offers.
The family bathroom, with vinyl flooring and a radiator, offers a close-coupled toilet with a pushbutton, a large white bath with a shower screen and a separate shower over the bath, and a pedestal wash hand basin. The space has been filly tiled around the bath and shower area.
Although part of a set of three, this cottage, as with cottages 1 and 3, could be purchased independently of the other two. They are currently incredibly successful holiday let, s ideally placed as a base from which to explore the stunning Northumberland coastline or the Cheviot Hills, in addition to being a short distance from Scotland. Equally, the three cottages would appeal to those working from home or as a second ‘Coastal Retreat’ home. The whole complex of properties presents a myriad of exciting opportunities and could be the dream you have been waiting for.
The property has access a shared utility room, shared with the other two properties in the building.

Located midway between the coast and the beautiful Northumberland National Park, and midway between Alnwick and Berwick Upon Tweed the town offers a Primary school, doctors, dentist, supermarket, public houses and restaurants, a number of independent shops, a community gym and a bus service runs between Berwick and Newcastle on Tyne.
