About this property
Celebrate special occasions with family and friends in this striking Victorian property in the heart of Alnwick’s historic market town. Sleeping eighteen, this large and opulent house has been lovingly preserved to retain period grandeur in every room, while modern touches offer a homely feel. Spend your days exploring the Northumberland coastline with its wide open sandy beaches, pretty villages and fabulous coastal path before returning for a dip in the hot tub, an al fresco meal in the garden or a cosy evening in front of the open fire.
Access to the property is via the main entrance at the back of the property. Inside, find generous rooms, high ceilings, rich tones, warm soft furnishings and atmospheric lighting. Prepare family feasts on the range-style oven in the traditional kitchen before eating beside the roaring open fire in the elegant dining room. With its sumptuous leather sofas, rich fabrics and original feature fireplace, the main lounge is a wonderful space in which to relax at the end of the day. A sunny conservatory is perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee while the separate reading room is a cosy nook for a peaceful moment. Each of the nine bedrooms has its own TV and en-suite bath or shower room, some of which are furnished with grand four-poster beds. Outside, choose between a drink on the patio, a soak in the hot tub or a session in the sauna while children explore the large enclosed garden.
Located in the heart of Alnwick, this Scottish-style country house is just steps from the town’s restaurants, bars, independent shops, market and Europe’s largest second-hand bookstore. Alnwick is also home to a magnificent castle, made famous by the Harry Potter films, plus a golf club and tennis court. Take to the coast with a visit to Alnmouth (4 miles), Beadnell Bay (16.5 miles) or Seahouses (17 miles) or head inland to explore the breath-taking Northumberland National Park (18 miles).
