Этот изысканно отреставрированный памятник архитектуры, внесенный в список памятников архитектуры II степени, гордо возвышается как часть истории в очаровательной деревне Уиттингем, когда-то служивший зданием суда и полицейским участком. Эта необычная резиденция, построенная в 1859 году, подверглась тщательной реставрации и обновлению нынешними владельцами, динамичным дизайнерским дуэтом, которые привнесли свою индивидуальность в этот замечательный дом, сохранив при этом его замечательное очарование и оригинальные черты, выдержав испытание 165 годами. Тщательный выбор цветовых решений, основанный на игре света, придал каждой комнате свой неповторимый характер, сохраняя при этом гармоничный поток во всем доме. Старое здание суда было преданно удостоено чести за их усилия. Поразительное викторианское здание, внесенное в список памятников архитектуры II степени, с его каменными фронтонами и живописными окнами со стойками, сохранило две из своих оригинальных камер для хранения, которые теперь перепрофилированы в подсобное помещение и кладовую, добавляя интригующий исторический элемент к современной функциональности. Кроме того, просторный зал суда на первом этаже, залитый естественным светом и охватывающий всю длину здания, был преобразован в студию, предоставляя владельцам вдохновляющее пространство для творчества. Расположенный среди примерно половины акра садов и территорий, которые плавно спускаются к безмятежным берегам реки Алн, этот отель предлагает как внутренние, так и открытые удовольствия. Деревня Уиттингем с ее духом сообщества и удобным доступом к Алнвику и Ротбери служит идиллическим фоном. Для любителей активного отдыха захватывающий дух лес Трунтон находится всего в нескольких минутах ходьбы. Если вы ищете необычное загородное уединение с богатой историей, Старое здание суда манит своим захватывающим повествованием. Кратко о размещении: Первый этаж: Прихожая | Столовая | Гостиная | Зал для завтраков/уютный | Кухня | Кладовая | Подсобное помещение | Кладовая | Туалет | Boot Room Первый этаж: Студия/Гостиная | Главная спальня с ванной комнатой | Еще две спальни с двуспальными кроватями и ванными комнатами Внешние: Гараж на две машины | Размещение в солнечной комнате на первом этаже: Войдя в этот восхитительный дом, вы попадаете в гостеприимный коридор. Слева вас ждет уютный зал для завтраков и уютная обстановка. Это многофункциональное пространство состоит из двух отдельных секций: в первой находится удобная обеденная зона, а в нижней части, украшенной оригинальными половицами, есть уютная дровяная печь, идеально подходящая для неторопливого воскресного утра с бумагой в руках. Плавный переход ведет из зала для завтраков в стильную кухню, тщательно продуманную с учетом современных удобств. Задняя дверь открывается в очаровательный внутренний дворик, способствующий восхитительному потоку внутри и снаружи в летние месяцы. Пройдя дальше, вы найдете хорошо оборудованную кладовую, удовлетворяющую потребности поваров-энтузиастов, прежде чем вернуться в зал. Справа манит столовая, источающая драму своими темно-зелеными обсидиановыми стенами. Атмосфера богатая и атмосферная, предлагающая изысканную обстановку для проведения встреч. Между тем, гостиная воплощает французский кантри-стиль, залитый солнечным светом и украшенный обоями Джейн Черчилль, оттенками Hicks' Blue и Pale Wedgwood на стенах. Открытие оригинального каменного камина, скрытого под гипсокартоном, оказалось восхитительным сюрпризом, теперь полностью восстановленным в своем прежнем великолепии и оснащенным дровяной печью. Окна украшены простыми деревянными ставнями, а половицы первого этажа были сняты, отремонтированы и окрашены в темный цвет, чтобы создать целостную эстетику, смягченную винтажными коврами. Завершает помещение на первом этаже просторная комната для хранения багажа с ярким черно-белым полом и панелями, окрашенными в темные цвета, а также две бывшие камеры предварительного заключения, перепрофилированные в подсобное помещение и кладовую, а также удобный туалет. Второй этаж: Поднимитесь по исторической каменной лестнице, чтобы попасть в третью спальню, расположенную на собственном уровне всего в нескольких ступенях вниз. Эта спальня предлагает автономное уединение с тремя окнами, обрамляющими живописный вид на башню Уиттингем, а также собственной душевой комнатой. Вторая спальня может похвастаться оригинальным камином и ванной комнатой. Продолжая идти по короткому коридору, вас встретит изюминка здания: бывший зал суда, теперь превращенный в студию и гостиную. Это грандиозное пространство может похвастаться великолепными створчатыми окнами, высокими потолками и очаровательной дровяной печью. Есть возможность превратить эту сказочную комнату в две дополнительные спальни, при условии согласия на планировку. Перейдя в главную спальню, которая когда-то была судейской гардеробной, вы будете очарованы ее потрясающим дизайном и удобной роскошной ванной комнатой.
