"A truly exceptional Grade II listed residence, Bridge End is the principal home within the historic village of Warkworth, one of Northumberland s most sought after coastal locations. Steeped in history and architectural significance, this magnificent Queen Anne style property dates back to circa 1690 and occupies a commanding position on the southern side of Warkworth s ancient stone bridge over the River Coquet, one of the oldest bridges in the county.
Featured in Pevsner s architectural guide and reputedly once the parish vicarage, Bridge End is believed to have been owned by the Clutterbuck family between 1700 and 1900. Thoughtfully modernised by the current owners, it now offers an exquisite balance of period grandeur and elegant interiors, making it a wonderful family home with a welcoming atmosphere.
Extending to over 8,000 sq ft across four floors, including a self contained annexe, Bridge End showcases an array of original period features, from high ceilings and intricate decorative plasterwork to stone fireplaces, wooden floors, and traditional sash windows with shutters. A medieval cellar sits beneath the striking staircase, further enhancing its historical charm.
