Located in a pretty spot just outside Warkworth, this bright and inviting cottage makes a lovely Northumberland escape for six. Walkers, wildlife watchers, and water sports fans will all be well catered for here. Warkworth is a charming village packed with cosy pubs, tempting eateries and a golf course all within 0.5 miles, plus a medieval castle and sweeping shoreline within 1 mile. The property is dog-friendly and ideal for a fun-filled trip with family or friends.
A short flight of seven stone steps leads you to the front door and into a welcoming hallway for kicking off muddy boots. The lounge is a light-filled hideaway with wooden floors, comfy seating and French doors – a lovely place to flop after a day outdoors. A couple of steps take you through to the open-plan kitchen/diner, where you can tuck into laid-back meals at the central table, located beside a characterful redbrick fireplace and wood burner-effect gas fire. The kitchen has everything you need, plus a breakfast bar and extra armchairs for relaxed morning coffees. Upstairs, you’ll find a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and patio doors leading out to a peaceful lawn. There’s also a flexible twin room with its own en-suite shower room, plus a bright double bedroom. A family bathroom with both a bath and walk-in shower completes the layout. Outdoors, take your pick from several seating areas, two lawns (one accessed through a gate for extra privacy), and a furnished patio ready for fresh-air dining. There’s parking for two cars on the gated driveway.
A walk along the Coquet Estuary brings you to the fishing town of Amble (2.5 miles), while the historic delights of Alnwick (7.5 miles) and its famous gardens wait just up the coast. Within 17 miles, you’ll also find family favourites like Northumberland Zoo, Dunstanburgh Castle, and Brinkburn Priory.
