Terraced house for sale in Overburn, Alston CA9

Overburn is tucked away behind Alston’s main street in a lovely elevated position. This amalgamation of two adjoining properties provides ample flexible space with options to reconfigure and modernise.

The property is laid out over three floors with the ground floor being entered into the lounge with character filled original inglenook fireplace and staircase to first floor. Through a doorway the kitchen is found with ample space for dining, fitted solid fuel burning Rayburn which can heat the water as well as provide cooking facilities. Beyond the kitchen is a good sized pantry/utility cupboard giving through access to the shower room.

Returning to the lounge and ascending the staircase you are greeted by a landing which gives direct access to both first floor bedrooms, both with good sized built in storage, a staircase to second floor and rear door to garden.

The second floor is split into two generous bedrooms which are accessed via two separate staircases – one from the landing and one from within bedroom 4. Both second floor bedrooms are reduced height and one has built in storage to the eaves giving almost a walk-in cupboard feel.

Externally, the property offers a south facing patio area to the front as well as generous tiered gardens to the rear accessed over an exciting ‘drawbridge’ offering the perfect space for the keen gardener with open views over the property and beyond to the Alston valleys. A useful detached stone outhouse is also included just over the road from the property.

Alston is known as the highest market town in England and offers a great combination of rural living with the convenience of all the amenities. Alston offers shops, healthcare, schooling, steam railway and a handful of real local pubs. Hartside Pass is not far away offering stunning views over the Eden Valley and Lake District. Alston also offers strong transport links to Hexham, Carlisle and Penrith.
