Nestled on the edge of the historic market town of Alnwick, this charming home offers the perfect blend of countryside tranquillity and convenient access to a wealth of amenities, award-winning attractions, and excellent transport links. Whether you’re seeking a second home, investment property, or a peaceful Northumbrian retreat, East Havers is truly a rare gem.
Location:
Situated just 1.5 miles from Alnwick town centre, the property enjoys the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Alnwick is a picturesque and vibrant town steeped in heritage, with cobbled streets, independent boutiques, supermarkets, and a bustling high street filled with charming cafés, restaurants, and welcoming pubs .

At the heart of the town lies Alnwick Castle, the ancestral seat of the Duke of Northumberland, famed for its use in film and television, including the Harry Potter series and Downton Abbey. Adjacent to the castle are the world-renowned Alnwick Gardens, designed by celebrated landscape architect Wirtz and home to the fascinating Poison Garden and Grand Cascade.

Alnwick was named by Which? magazine as one of the best places to live in the UK, praised for its community spirit, natural beauty, and quality of life.

The town is served by excellent schools, including the well-regarded Duchess's Community High School and St. Michael's C of E Primary School, making it a sought-after area for families and professionals alike.

For transport, the A1 is within easy reach, offering swift road connections to Berwick, Morpeth, and Newcastle. Just a 10-minute drive away, Alnmouth Train Station provides direct rail links to Newcastle, Edinburgh, and London King's Cross, making it ideal for commuters or weekend getaways.

To the east, the spectacular Northumberland coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), awaits. The stunning beach at Alnmouth, with its golden sands and dramatic views, is less than 15 minutes by car—perfect for coastal walks, wildlife spotting, and seaside relaxation. Other award-winning beaches including Bamburgh and Embleton Bay are also within easy reach.

Accommodation briefly comprises: a welcoming entrance leading into a well-equipped eat-in kitchen/diner with modern cabinetry and tiled splashbacks then through to a bright and airy lounge. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms – one spacious double with exposed beams and a characterful pitched ceiling, and one single bedroom ideal for a guest room, child’s room, or home office together with a stylish main bathroom with tiled walls, full-sized bath, and overhead shower. The property benefits from allocated parking to the front, while to the rear lies an enclosed private garden suitable for dogs with paved patio, lawn, mature shrubs, and a timber shed.

An early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the quality of accommodation on offer.
