About this property
This pretty cottage sits in a charming stone terrace on the outskirts of Warkworth. It offers space for up to four guests to enjoy this chocolate-box village and its scenic surroundings. There’s so much to see and do within easy reach. In Warkworth you can stroll along the riverside, visit the majestic, ruined castle and walk to the long, sandy beach (1 mile). In around 2 miles you can reach the fishing port of Amble, where you can buy fresh fish from the harbour and take a boat trip to Coquet Island to see puffins and other wildlife. For hiking, water sports and birdwatching head to Duridge Bay (5 miles), and there’s golf at Alnmouth, also 5 miles away. The spectacular Alnwick Castle, often referred to as ‘The Windsor of the North’, is just 7.5 miles away.
Step through the front door, taking note of the step down into the entrance hall and then again into the lounge. Here, a beautifully co-ordinated colour scheme creates a calming ambience, the original sash windows have wooden shutters and there is a lovely fireplace with a wood-burner-effect electric fire. As you sink into the soft seating you can switch on the Freeview TV, play a DVD or even challenge each other to a game on the Nintendo Wii. There’s another small step down into the charming kitchen/diner, in which there’s plenty of space and a farmhouse-style table for four. Beyond the kitchen you’ll find the fabulous family bathroom, a stylish and luxurious space with a double-sized walk-in shower and a modern, free-standing bath. From the rear hallway you’ll have access to the patio, and there’s a utility cupboard that contains a washer/dryer. Head back to the front door and up the cottage-style stairs to find two superb bedrooms, one king-size and one twin which can be made up as a super-king-size on request, both with soft carpet, ambient lighting and a soft colour palette creating a tranquil feel (please note the two steps down to the twin/super-king-size bedroom). Set in between the bedrooms is a WC.
After exciting days out, return home to relax on your private patio, which is enclosed with a low fence and furnished with an outdoor table and chairs. Free parking is available on the quiet road outside.
