Nestled beside the River Coquet at the foot of Warkworth Castle, this inviting property is an excellent option for families of four who are keen to experience the coast and countryside of Northumberland. Warkworth village, just a short walk away, is brimming with charm and is perfect for afternoons perusing the shops or nursing pints in the welcoming taverns. Less than half a mile from the doorstep, the castle itself is a striking reminder of the area's medieval past, while only 1.5 miles away, Warkworth Beach stretches out in golden sands, where you can play games of boules or simply tuck into salt-sprinkled fish and chips. Alnmouth Beach, Longhoughton Beach and Amble Links Beach are all within 8 miles. Travel 20 miles inland and you can be at Northumberland's National Park, where a blanket of well-trodden landscapes is ready to be explored.
Off the main street, head up the stairs and into the hallway. Drop off coats and hats in the boot room and go into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner for a brew. This cosy space is reflective of its storybook surroundings, with exposed brick walls, rustic decor and a central wood-burning-effect fire that beckons chilly toes. In the generous kitchen, you'll find everything you need to prepare family favourites, or you might prefer to keep it simple with paper-wrapped fish and chips. Between the two parts of the room, a dining table provides a comfortable place for four to gather. When the day has caught up with you, two charming king-size bedrooms await with luxury bedding and scenic views. One has access to a stylish en-suite shower room, while the other is serviced by a beautiful bathroom with a bath and WC.
A stunning hidden garden is a gem of this particular property. Located just 1 minute from the cottage, this fully enclosed space is perfect for picnics on the lawn or curling up with a book in the summer house. On-street parking is available just 100 yards away.
