Button

About this property

A beautiful Grade II Listed stone cottage resting in the rural outskirts of Alnwick, Button is an idyllic countryside retreat for a couple looking to seek out the wonders of Northumberland. After traveling down a tree lined drive, park off-road and be welcomed by the quaint stone exterior of this property, a stunning historical cottage with original diamond-shaped windows and a small sitting area outside where you can dine alfresco with your significant other. Once inside, be welcomed into the open-plan living area and get cosy on the sofa with a cup of tea as you plan the day ahead of you, and here you will also see wooden roof beams and a stylish contemporary kitchen, great for cooking together, and a dining table where you can enjoy a romantic meal for two. There is a great little bathroom with a bath and a shower so you can freshen up after long countryside walks, and a king-size bedroom encourages you to get cosy for the night, sporting quirky green wallpapered walls and homely décor. Button is settled into the outskirts of Alnwick, a fantastic rural location full of heritage, and you will be able to visit a local pub and convenience store within five miles of the property. Alnwick has beautiful riverside walks, as well as a magnificent castle for you to enjoy, and if you love history, then there is also the nearby Edlingham Castle ruins. From the cottage you can explore the stunning scenery and fantastic walks of Northumberland National Park, or head towards the coast for a day spent at Alnmouth’s sandy beaches. Fall in love with the countryside of Northumberland with a stay at Button.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
