Situated right in the heart of the historic town of Alnwick just a stone’s throw from the Castle, this fabulous town centre Grade II Listed building offers versatile accommodation and is currently used as a successful guest house. Arranged over three floors, the layout is perfectly suited to an owner occupier who is looking for a property with private living space and a separate entrance annex for receiving holiday lets or a bed and breakfast guesthouse. Whilst the space is currently utilised as four bedrooms, a communal lounge, dining room and a dining kitchen, there is much flexibility with the seven main rooms in this impressive building. It could also be a fantastic town centre main second home or main residence.

With views over the Alnwick castle walls, the two second floor ensuite bedrooms offer characterful and charming space for guests with a communal lounge below on the second floor. These two rooms together with a third double bedroom at the front of the building can all be accessed from a ‘guest’ entrance and staircase. The second staircase with its own private entrance leads to the living space for the current owners and a guest dining room. Both sides of the property are interlinked, and a central external passage leads through to a private courtyard.

With such a high demand for holiday let property in Alnwick, this beautiful Grade II Listed property is a perfect solution for a buyer looking to live centrally in a historic building whilst receiving a supplemented income from guest accommodation.

An entrance door from the street leads to a communal passage that provides access to a neighbouring property as well as the guest and private entrance to 1b Bailiffgate, and a private courtyard garden.
