Bridge End, West Thirston, Northumberland, NE65

Bridge End is a charming end-terrace stone property, enviably positioned in the heart of the sought-after village of Felton, enjoying a delightful setting beside the picturesque River Coquet. This attractive home combines period character with a wonderful riverside outlook, all within easy reach of village amenities and transport links.

Felton offers a welcoming community atmosphere and a range of everyday conveniences, including a village shop and post office, a first school, doctor’s surgery, historic church, and popular eateries such as The Northumberland Arms and The Running Fox artisan bakery and tea room. The River Coquet meanders through the centre of the village, providing scenic riverside walks and a tranquil backdrop to daily life. For commuters, the nearby A1 offers straightforward access to the historic market towns of Alnwick and Morpeth, while the stunning Northumberland coastline lies approximately eight miles away.

Dating back to the 1830s, Bridge End is rich in character, with sash windows, exposed stonework and ceiling beams adding warmth throughout.

The accommodation begins with an inviting reception room featuring parquet flooring, an exposed stone wall and a wood-burning stove, all complemented by lovely views towards the river. From here, the kitchen is accessed and is fitted with classic shaker-style units, granite worktops and feature beams. Integrated appliances include a fridge and dishwasher, with additional space for white goods. A door leads directly out to the rear courtyard, ideal for everyday practicality. Also leading from the reception room is a further reception room, currently arranged as a dining room. Once the property’s undercroft, this space has been thoughtfully transformed into a bright and versatile room with arched doors to both the front and rear, stone tiled flooring and a useful utility area. An under-stairs store provides additional storage.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there are two generous double bedrooms, both benefitting from attractive river views. The principal bedroom features a stylish fully tiled en-suite wet room, complete with rainfall shower, WC and wash hand basin. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation, offering full tiling, a freestanding bath, separate rainfall shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Also on this level is a dual-aspect sitting room overlooking the rear garden and courtyard, complete with a gas fireplace. This versatile room could equally serve as an additional bedroom if required. Above, two loft conversions provide further adaptable spaces, ideal as home offices or bedrooms. Both rooms are fitted with Velux windows, creating bright and airy environments.

Externally, Bridge End boasts excellent kerb appeal and is perfectly placed within walking distance of the river and village amenities. To the rear, a generous courtyard with patio area offers an ideal setting for outdoor seating and entertaining during the warmer months. Two traditional coal stores provide useful additional storage. Steps lead up to the main garden, which is elevated and enjoys views across the village. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature trees and established shrubs.
