Surrounded by rolling hills and home to medieval castle ruins and an 11th-century church, Edingham sits between Alnwick and Rothbury in the Northumberland countryside. This rural location offers the perfect blend of peace and quiet with plenty of nearby attractions to discover both inland and along the coast. Venture to Cragside (9 miles), the world’s first house to be lit by hydroelectric power, which sits within a 1,000-acre mountainous landscape with lakes, waterfalls and gardens to wander. Alnwick (6 miles) offers shops, pubs, restaurants and much more, including Alnwick Castle and Gardens, a must-see for Harry Potter fans and the full fairytale experience. Alnmouth (10 miles) boasts a tranquil beach and sand dunes offering a wealth of wildlife-watching opportunities, while in Craster, 13 miles away, you can shop for seaside-inspired arts and crafts, admire the fishing boats in the harbour or follow your nose to the kipper smokehouse.
Less than 400m from Edingham’s beautiful church and castle ruins, this detached bungalow looks across a lush, green landscape – pause to admire the view before entering through the back door, which is accessible for wheelchair users. Step into the useful boot/utility room where you can store outdoor gear and pet paraphernalia. Beyond, the spacious hallway leads into an open-plan living space with superb views towards the hills – a telescope allows a closer look, while underfloor heating and a wood burner ensure warm and cosy comfort in any weather. There’s plenty of space for pets to stretch out while you curl up on a sofa to watch TV. Cook up a culinary treat in the contemporary kitchen area and enjoy lively conversation as you gather around the dining table. Fully glazed doors and a pair of windows to the front mean you can drink in those far-reaching views without setting foot outdoors. When it’s time for bed, choose from two dream-inducing rooms. The first is a king-size with lovely views over the front garden and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has inviting twin beds and Jack-and-Jill access to the shower room, which also connects to the hallway.
To fully appreciate the tranquillity of your holiday location, step into the enclosed front garden featuring a patio, lawned area and furniture for al fresco dining. Listen as the birds sing their goodnight songs, then enjoy the stars above – the area is famous for its dark skies. A gated, gravelled driveway means you can park and unpack and explore at your leisure.
