A rare Grade II listed stone maisonette in the heart of Alnwick, this three-bedroom home occupies the first and second floors above a historic town-centre frontage. High sash windows and tall ceilings create bright rooms with rooftop views across the market town towards Alnwick Castle. Recent works include a new kitchen, new boiler, some roof repairs, new water pipes and refreshed bathroom fittings, so the property is ready to occupy without major immediate works.
Set over three floors with its own private entrance off Narrowgate, the flexible layout currently offers two reception rooms and three double bedrooms (with scope to use one reception as a fourth bedroom). The long lease (993 years remaining) and low annual service charge make this a straightforward leasehold purchase for a main or second home, but note the covenant restricting use as a commercial holiday let.
Practical drawbacks are material and stated: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate consent for works; there is no private garden or external space; and the property sits in an area with higher crime levels, which may concern some buyers. Council Tax is low (Band A) and broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting modern living in a compact town-centre setting.
This maisonette will suit buyers seeking a characterful town-centre residence or a second home with strong local amenities and castle views, who accept the limitations that come with Grade II listing and the restrictive covenant.
