The Property 
1 Townhead is an attractive semi-detached modern stone-built property situated in the heart of the sought-after Northumberland village of Slaley. The property has been extended by the current owners to create a large and versatile home with generous accommodation laid out over three floors. Further planning permission for a rear and loft extension has also been secured (Northumberland County Council planning ref. 16/02818/FUL). Bright and spacious, this incredibly appealing property further benefits from enclosed gardens, an integral garage and off-street parking. 

The front door leads into a bright entrance hall with access to the ground floor accommodation and stairs to the first floor. The two reception rooms are naturally bright and generously proportioned, offering ample entertaining space. The inviting sitting room has a feature gas fire and provides direct access to the well-maintained gardens via sliding patio doors. The recently renovated kitchen/dining room now features an expansive open-plan layout, replacing the previous utility room to provide a much larger and more functional space. The kitchen includes a modern range of integrated units with elegant complementary worktops and a central island, ideal for food preparation and casual dining. 

Stairs lead up to the first floor accommodation. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a modern bathroom comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC. There are four further double bedrooms, all of which are generously proportioned and offer views of different aspects of the gardens and village. There are two family bathrooms, each with suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC. To the third floor, the loft has been partially converted into a naturally bright study with space for two desks. A door from the study leads into the loft, which retains planning permission for further development.

Externally 
1 Townhead is accessed via a block paved driveway with parking for two vehicles. There is a single garage with up and over door. The rear gardens are south facing, well maintained and mainly laid to lawn with well stocked herbaceous borders and a useful garden store. A sun terrace is ideally placed for al fresco dining and entertaining. There is a mix of hedging and wooden fencing to the boundary.
