A gloriously quirky house complete with a conservatory and roof terrace set in an outstanding position with views across rolling farmland to the hills beyond.

Poppy House is full of surprises; a seamless fusion of a period stone cottage with a contemporary conservatory and castellated tower complete with roof terrace.

The interior styling embraces the juxtaposition of old and new. Exposed stone walls, ancient beams and local antique pieces sit alongside Loaf sofas, Weaver Green rugs, Nkuku accessories and contemporary local artwork.

Downstairs there’s a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove and galley kitchen to one end. The bespoke conservatory provides an additional seating area and dining space whilst an adjacent corridor has been repurposed to become a small work / study area.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor; a twin bedroom in the older part of the house and a double bedroom with a super king bed, along with a family bathroom.

The impressive stone spiral staircase leads up to the master bedroom complete with sunken super king size bed and glass panelled roof for enjoying Northumberland’s internationally-renowned dark skies from the comfort of your bed. An en suite shower room leads off the bedroom.

Climbing up the spiral staircase and out through a low roof hatch, takes you to the roof terrace with magnificent panoramic views across rolling countryside.

The house sits in an extensive lawned garden with a pretty stream running along one side. The roof terrace provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening drinks or star-gazing whilst there’s an outside dining area on the decked terrace accessed from the conservatory.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

The property can be let in conjunction with Lucy (sleeps 2), Lydia (sleeps 2) and Romilly (sleeps 2) for larger parties wishing to holiday together.

Poppy House sits in a large lawned garden which is partially enclosed. Please note that an unfenced stream runs through the garden and children must be supervised at all times. There is a decked terrace with garden furniture along with the roof terrace.  Please note that the roof terrace is accessed through a very low door from the top of the spiral staircase and guests must take care. The roof terrace is not suitable for younger children.

From the garden, a gate leads onto the surrounding farmland and hillside, and a small stream runs nearby. From this gate, guests can access the small natural pool, which has purpose-built decking and steps, allowing easy access for those who enjoy wild swimming. The pond is shared with another four properties on the farm on a first come, first served basis. Children under 16 must be supervised at all times.

A shed provides storage for bikes and outdoor kit.

Access is via a farm track which is suitable for all vehicles. There is designated private parking to the front of the property.

Location

Situated in the beautiful countryside of north Northumberland, the medieval market town of Alnwick lies within easy reach of the coast and is home to world-class visitor attractions.

A stronghold of Northern power in the Middle Ages, the magnificent Alnwick Castle has more recently served as a filming location for Harry Potter. Alongside this lies The Alnwick Garden with its famous cherry blossom trees, collection of poisonous plants and Grand Cascade. The twisting cobbled streets of the town boast an eclectic collection of independent shops including Barter Books, a famous second-hand bookshop with a miniature train running atop its bookcases, plus there’s a market every Saturday and a Farmers' Market on the last Friday of every month.

Set within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the sea is just a short drive away, as are the dramatic castle and beach at Bamburgh, the charming fishing village of Craster, and the mystical Holy Island of Lindisfarne across the causeway. A little further inland, you’ll find endless scenic walks in the Cheviot and Simonside Hills and along Hadrian’s Wall, as well as the pretty village of Glanton and the picturesque Ingram Valley.

The Little Things We Love

The glass-panelled roof above the sumptuous super king bed in bedroom three is perfect for stargazing in the clear Northumberland skies.

Don't take our word for it...

Lovely couple and they keep a lovely property. Location is peaceful and private, with hares running around the garden every day. Great cycling area with miles of quiet lanes from the end of the drive. Handy shop at the petrol station 5 minutes away and loads of great produce available at Alnwick (20 minutes). It was a special treat after a long stressful year and it was expensive for 3 people but so glad we chose this place.
Mr Hands, 1st April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

What an amazing property! We met three of the hosts and they were all really friendly. We look forward to staying with Crabtree and Crabtree again and would recommend the company to others.
