BRIDGE END

Located within the beautiful village of Warkworth on the Northumberland coast, this exceptional home takes centre stage. Rarely would one find a property of such grandeur and importance.

Bridge End is a fine example of a Grade II listed Queen Anne property that sits proudly by the riverside in this historic coastal village. This magnificent home is admired by all and the envy of many. Retaining the comforts of village life, this spectacular home hides a wonderful secret behind the highest of walls – a breathtaking, extremely private walled garden of approximately 0.6 acres.

Situated within walking distance of the excellent amenities of this historic village, this impressive home is also within touching distance of the stunning Warkworth beach and golf course. Warkworth, voted by The Telegraph as one of the most desirable villages to live in the UK, offers a range of wonderful independent shops, restaurants and cafes and is home to the medieval Warkworth Castle.

Being only 4 miles to the pretty coastal village of Alnmouth and 7.5 miles to the bustling market town of Alnwick, this beautiful home is in a prime location.

This historical home dating from the early C18, was referred to in Pevsner and was reputedly the former vicarage of the parish and home to Reverend William Iron. Situated on the banks of the River Coquet, Bridge End, as the name suggests is located at the end of the ancient bridge, by the famous Bridge Head Tower. Warkworth Bridge is one of the oldest surviving bridges in Northumberland, believed to have been built in the 13th century. The bridge has several arches and is made of stone, making it a beautiful and unique landmark in the village.

Bridge End has excellent proportions, with over 8000 sq ft of accommodation set over four floors. Retaining beautiful period features, including stone fireplaces, high ceilings, wooden floors, sash windows and shutters, there is also a cellar/wine store. There is potential to develop the annexe into further accommodation.
