With views of the castle and the historic quarter right on its doorstep, it’s safe to say this home has one of the best locations in the market town of Alnwick. Explore its wander-worthy cobbled streets lined with independent shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. Or escape the bustle with a walk around the vast twelve acres of Alnwick’s Garden, just a five-minute stroll from your door. Make sure to seek out the world’s largest treehouse restaurant and the cascade of 21 separate waterfalls - it’s quite something. Back home, this stylish townhouse dating back to the 1800s makes quite the first impression. Set out over three floors, exposed brick walls and traditional beams show the bones of its historical past while everywhere else has been beautifully reimagined into a luxurious holiday retreat. Upside down in layout, the bedrooms are downstairs, saving those castle views on the top floor for the impressive living space. Whip up a meal in the striking blue, modern kitchen while others spill out to the dining table and break out the games. Or crash out by the fire on the squishy modular sofas. Those charming castle views will be right there wherever you choose to be.

A landscape rich with history, you can explore the crumbling ruins of clifftop castles or tour restored and retained masterpieces at Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle.
