Bridge End is an exceptional Grade II listed Queen Anne–style residence in the heart of Warkworth, offering over 8,500 sq ft of living space across four floors plus a self-contained annexe. The house retains abundant period character — high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, stone fireplaces, sash windows and a medieval cellar — while presenting generous reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast area with an AGA and formal dining and drawing rooms suited to family life and entertaining.
Set within a very large, south- and west-facing walled garden of around 0.6 acres, the grounds are mature and private, with established planting and two single garages with separate access. The annexe and multiple reception rooms offer flexible accommodation for multi-generational living, home working or short-stay letting, and the property’s central village position is minutes from local shops, pubs, Warkworth Castle and the Northumberland coast.
Buyers should note this is a listed building; any alterations will require listed-building consent and may complicate modernisation. The house has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners but retains historic fabric that will need sensitive maintenance. Practical considerations include slow broadband speeds, above-average local crime figures, and a fairly high council tax band — factors to check if remote working or frequent high-speed connectivity are priorities.
Overall, Bridge End will suit purchasers seeking a major period family home with significant historic interest, a private mature garden and flexible living spaces. It is particularly appealing to those who value architectural character and village coastal living and who are prepared to manage the responsibilities and costs that come with a Grade II listed, large country house.
