If there’s a better spot to catch the sunset in Northumberland, we’re yet to find it. Surrounded by miles of verdant fields and hills, this charming stone-brick home really makes the most of its secluded, bucolic setting. Huge windows and glass doors overlook the vista – you’re forever immersed in the serene surroundings. And with a wealth of walking routes on your doorstep and quaint towns within easy reach, this is a wonderful choice for your rural retreat. Stepping inside, you’ll find a bright yet cosy interior that draws upon contemporary and classic styles. Families will love the sociable space – the kitchen might be super-sleek and modern, but it’s still the heart of the home. From gathering around the kitchen island for afternoon glasses of wine to good-spirited board games around the dining table – memories are made here. The views that wrap around the home are sure to lead you out to the balcony – the perfect place to savour a fresh morning coffee. Come dusk, pull a chair outside and soak up the unobstructed sunset with a glass of wine. When it comes to exploring the area, you’re in the historic village of Rock – explore the... village pubs, cafes, and simply enjoy the rural setting. Slightly further afield you have the popular market town of Alnwick and its famous castle, independent shops, and eateries.
