Charming Warkworth Retreat

Extremely spacious and wonderfully versatile, this pretty Northumberland cottage offers an ideal escape for families, friends or couples in the scenic village of Warkworth. Peace and quiet are assured in this tucked-away location, set back from the main road yet just a short stroll (0.5 miles) to the village's imposing castle, pubs and shops. Cross the River Coquet to reach Warkworth Beach (1.5 miles), a wide, sandy expanse with a surf school, stunning views and a neighbouring golf club. Continue on to Amble (1.5 miles) and explore the charming Harbour Village, where pastel-painted beach huts host independent crafts, fresh seafood snacks and picturesque views across the water. For something sweet, head inland to the award-winning Morwick Dairy Ice Cream (2 miles), a local favourite just a short drive from the coast.

All set across one level with step-free access, the property has been thoughtfully designed for easy living. Step into the L-shaped open-plan living area, where the kitchen and dining space sit neatly together and the lounge extends just around the corner. Filled with light and overlooking the garden, the lounge features plenty of comfy seating, a wood burner-effect electric fire and options for entertainment with a TV, DVD player and iPod speaker. A dining table for four invites cosy evenings of great food and conversation, while the well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for home cooking. Along the hallway, two bedrooms provide restful spaces. The largest features a zip-and-link bed for added versatility, ready to be set up as a super-king-size or a twin, along with a TV and an en-suite shower room. The second is a welcoming double with ample storage and another TV. A generously sized family bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

The garden is a hidden delight, enclosed by mature hedges and catching the sun at the best times of day. Step through French doors in the lounge to a patio with a table and chairs, overlooking the uninterrupted lawn. Children will love the climbing frame tucked amongst the trees, while adults can enjoy the unique 'Kota' BBQ house, a cosy space for dining outdoors even in colder weather. Private parking for two cars is also available with access to an EV charging point.
