This individual house is right in the heart of Warkworth village, overlooked by a 14th century castle, not more than 50 metres away. Warkworth is a unique medieval village in Northumberland, enclosed in the loop of the river Coquet. Positioned at the top of the old street, the property looks downhill to other historic dwellings, pubs and shops, to an 12th century church. Built around 200 years ago, the terraced house enjoys excellent insulation from its one-metre-thick walls. The house retains its heat in winter and is cool in summer. Having entered the house, any noise from the street or neighbours next door is immediately gone. The double-glazed windows at the front give a pleasing view of the castle and the sea in the distance. The rooms are sizeable with high ceilings to the ground floor. The front room has its original fire structure and a chimney that has been properly lined allowing for an efficient flue, if a solid fuel fire is preferred.

An easily accessible attic, with a secure roof, is insulated and boarded out giving ample room for storage. The property has a written record of all the improvements that have been made over the years and it is clear how the current owners have kept well ahead of any maintenance the house might have needed. The easily manageable garden at the rear faces west, and draws the sun from late morning onwards with a view of impressive sunsets. The quiet rural aspect at the rear belies the fact that the house is in a lively and friendly village much admired by visitors and the media.
