Overthwarts Farmhouse

Surrounded by dramatic landscapes with glorious walks, evocative ruins, the historic town of Alnwick and the Northumberland coastline all within easy reach, Overthwarts Farmhouse is a brilliant base from which to enjoy the abundance of activities and places of interest on offer in the area.

This characterful family home has personality and ambience in spades, its spacious accommodation creating plenty of room to spread out and relax. The drawing room features a marble fireplace with open fire, from which a partially glazed oak door leads to a sunny paved terrace with fantastic views over the viaduct, ancient castle and 11th Century church beyond. A second sitting room is home to an inglenook fireplace (decorative only) and piano, an atmospheric space for an evening sing-song should the mood take your fancy.

The traditional farmhouse kitchen has a contemporary edge, with bespoke units, stainless steel worktops, Falcon range cooker and ten-seater dining table next to the wood burning stove. On the ground floor there is also a utility room with washing machine and dryer, a pantry with freezer and a boot room with door to the garden where outdoor kit can be stored and muddy dogs dried off.

The characterful five bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms; two doubles, single and a children’s bunk room (with additional truckle bed - and rocking horse) on the first floor, and a third double on the ground floor next door to a cloakroom.

Overthwarts exudes a sense of down-to-earth heartiness and its large enclosed garden making it a great for choice for families with or without dogs, while fitting the bill equally well as a peaceful haven for artists and writers seeking inspiration from the spectacular surrounding countryside.
