North Togston, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE65

Nestled just two miles from the picturesque village of Warkworth on Northumberland’s breathtaking coast, this remarkable period property perfectly balances heritage charm with the modern-day comforts required for contemporary living.

Originally owned by the Cook family in the 17th and 18th centuries, Togston House has been sympathetically and extensively restored both internally and externally by the current owners, and retains many period features. The main house offers expansive and versatile accommodation spread over three floors, including a generous attic space. The addition of a charming two-bedroom cottage provides seclusion for guests, multigenerational living, or an income opportunity.

Set within approximately four acres of private gardens and paddocks, the property offers a haven of space and tranquillity. It features a stable yard with loose boxes, a workshop and an array of extensive outbuildings—making it an ideal choice for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking a countryside lifestyle with room to grow. The grounds also include a picturesque orchard, a part-walled garden and a charming rustic barn designed for entertaining—perfect for hosting friends and family year-round.

Subject to the necessary planning consents, the existing outbuildings offer scope for further development. The paddocks could lend themselves to glamping or lodge development, subject to permissions.
