Ideal for dog-loving families and larger groups, this impressive home sits in the friendly village of Acklington. The five-bedroom property is around 0.5 miles from a popular local pub where you can pop for pints and meals. Treat everyone to a walk-and-lick outing to the local ice cream parlour (1.5 miles), following the River Coquet as you go, or drive to the lively seaside town of Amble (4 miles) for fresh sea air, harbour views and plenty of places to grab a bite.
The house has a bright, modern feel throughout, with spacious rooms designed for bigger groups to spread out. Downstairs, there’s a sociable kitchen/diner with a large table for group meals, plus patio doors that open straight out into the east-facing garden – great for dogs who love a gentle morning sniff outside. The lounge is a comfy, light-filled space with bi-fold doors to the garden. There is also a handy ground-floor WC and a utility room with garage access. Five bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors: the super-king-size has an en-suite shower room, Smart TV and speaker; a king-size also has an en-suite and Smart tech. There are two twin rooms with Smart TVs and speakers, and a final twin with zip-and-link beds that can form a super-king-size on request. These three bedrooms share a family bathroom upstairs. Outside, dogs and children can play safely in the enclosed garden, which has a lawn and a patio with a large rattan dining set beneath a pergola. There is private parking for two cars at the front.
There’s plenty to do nearby – Warkworth (3 miles) has a high street framed by a 12th-century church and a magnificent castle, artisan shops to explore and pretty riverside walks. For energetic pups, join the Northumberland Coast Path (4 miles) for excellent dog walks towards more remote stretches of shoreline.
