Dove Cottage

With sweeping countryside views and a working farm nearby, this two-bedroom cottage retains its rural roots, yet combined with plenty of sophisticated contemporary touches, makes for the perfect rustic sanctuary for families or couples. The village of Warkworth is almost completely encircled by the River Coquet and is dominated by the splendid medieval castle, moments from a superb sandy stretch and some of the loveliest river scenery in the county. Discover how the powerful Dukes of Northumberland lived at Warkworth Castle, 3 miles away, and enjoy a stroll through thousands of years of history with some spectacular river and coastal views from the castle walls. Half a mile upriver, board a guided rowing boat to view the world-famous Hermitage, a rock-hewn retreat with a poignant history. Lovers of wildlife will enjoy glorious walks beside the river and castle grounds to catch glimpse of red squirrels, deer and otters.

A spacious entrance hall welcomes you into the cottage and houses a handy freezer and washer/dryer, plus plenty of space for coat and boot storage. The beautiful, tiled floor leads you into the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room, complemented by a calming neutral colour palette and contemporary design and decor. Cleverly partitioned away from the rest of the space by lots of wonderful worktop space is the well-equipped kitchen, kitted out with everything you’ll need to get creative, plus a chic dining table and chairs. The cosy lounge space is defined by a comfy sofa and two matching armchairs wrapped around a Smart TV and an exposed brick fireplace with a wonderful wood burner. Upstairs, you’re met with a bright and airy king-size bedroom with stunning views of the countryside and open fields. You’ll also find a beautiful twin zip-and-link bedroom sharing the same simple yet elegant design as the rest of the property – this bedroom can be made into a king-size on request. A contemporary family bathroom completes this cottage.

At the front of the cottage, you’ll find a wonderful lawned garden that provides the perfect, enclosed spot to enjoy dining alfresco long into the evening among the stunning countryside views. At the rear of the cottage, there is another garden space.
