Only up North...

A house in a prime central position in one of the best streets in Morpeth. Looking unremarkable from the outside, it deserves further investigation from the monumental masonry cracks as soon as you open the door, to the crumbling handrail and dodgy stone steps leading to the garage and small garden. A cavernous basement houses a newish combi boiler and water meter. The north facing windows have been paint stuck for years, including one over the archway which is open to the elements. The carpets are tatty throughout and the whole place is in dire need of tender updating. To the south there is an unfettered view of the town car park and, in the distance, the Castle. The property itself has a rather shabby exterior which is compounded immediately upon entering the property by a matching disregard to what may be generally considered habitable, and being untouched by the 21st Century, will require blood sweat and tears to haul it anywhere back to modern tastes. The traditional features and abundance of character are counteracted by a broad grinning crack to one wall in the entrance vestibule. Hope may then resurface upon viewing the lounge, a reception room with a high ceiling, but will require any purchaser to acquire step ladders to eradicate those pesky spider webs, something that is clearly beyond the present owner. An adequate supply of reading material is essential when visiting the downstairs wc, to help dispel the gloom of the room. An open plan kitchen/dining room offers a pleasant contrast with a more contemporary approach, and a buyer could also enjoy the view of the Town car park from the kitchen window. Steps lead down to a cellar area with storage rooms which house the combi central heating boiler. A first floor landing may initially appear to be carpeted with pleasantly patterned silver strips, however on closer inspection, these strips are merely pieces of tape holding the carpet together. The four bedrooms certainly have some appealing features, with yet more monumental masonry cracks. If the prospective purchaser is feeling a little 'unkempt' following the viewing, an adequate bathroom is on hand to rinse away any accumulated grime.
Externally, a battered garage lies within a walled rear yard area and is certainly in keeping with the internal state of the unusual property. For obvious reasons, an internal inspection is absolutely essential.
