Situated in the historic and picturesque village of Warkworth with its 13th Century Castle and Hermitage, this two bedroom ground floor apartment is nestled in a convenient location within walking distance of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs and of the Castle directly opposite and the riverside walks along the Coquet.

The property also has a private rear entrance door from the kitchen to the communal courtyard as well as a telephone security communal entrance to the main apartment building.
The elegantly styled accommodation briefly comprises all to the ground floor: communal entrance door with some stairs leading to the landing area and main entrance door to the apartment into a welcoming entrance hall. There is a bright and airy lounge with dining area and side window view through the trees along the Coquet to the colourful apartments at Amble Harbour in the distance. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern units. There are two good sized bedrooms, the main with a lovely walk in bay window and built in wardrobes and the bathroom has a shower unit over the bath. Outside, pathways lead alongside the property to the gated communal courtyard to the rear which is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the warmer months of the year. Warkworth village centre can be reached either by the outdoor steps to Castle Street or a flat walk along The Butts to the Bridge. There is an allocated parking space to the front of the property. Warkworth is a highly regarded residential area with a huge community spirit and there are many events held at the Castle including Warkfest and Warkworth Show.
There is a regular local bus services to the larger towns of Morpeth, Alnwick and beyond and the train station in Alnmouth provides services to Edinburgh and Newcastle with connections further afield. The thriving and characterful harbour town of Amble is just a short drive or healthy walk away with many local shops, cafes and restaurants along the main shopping street as well as supermarkets. Amble Harbour Village with its retail pods, fish restaurants, Little Shore Beach and Pier and the market at the harbour on a Sunday is well worth a visit.  There are boat trips from the harbour to Coquet Island with sightings of puffins, roseate terns and grey seals. An early viewing of this fabulous apartment is strongly recommended.
