The property

Downton II is a charming second-floor apartment set in the centre of Alnwick, Northumberland, where castle views and an Edwardian interior inspired by Downton Abbey give this one-bedroom stay its distinctive character.

Positioned above the High Street, it places couples right at the heart of the town while offering a thoughtfully styled retreat shaped by period influence.

Inside, the apartment unfolds in a simple yet characterful layout, where traditional touches hint at classic country house design.

The living and dining room forms the heart of the space, with its elevated position and carefully chosen décor reflecting the Downton Abbey theme.

Whether enjoying breakfast as the town begins to stir below or spending the evening with the TV on, this is a welcoming area to pause between outings.

The kitchen sits separately and provides everything needed for a self-catered stay, making it easy to dine in whenever you choose.

The double bedroom continues the theme with its considered styling and includes a TV, offering a relaxed setting for slower starts to the day, while the shower room with walk-in shower completes the interior with a neat and polished finish.

Step outside and Alnwick’s rich heritage is immediately within reach, from the impressive setting of Alnwick Castle to the striking design of The Alnwick Garden, home to beautifully landscaped spaces and the unique Poison Garden.

Literature lovers can enjoy Barter Books, filled with character and charm.

Nearby, Alnmouth offers a stretch of sandy shoreline ideal for coastal walks, while Seahouses serves as a gateway to Farne Islands wildlife tours.

In Bamburgh, a remarkable castle stands above the coastline, creating a dramatic setting for a day out.

Combining period-inspired interiors with an outstanding location, Downton II makes an excellent base for exploring Northumberland.

EPC Rating: Band C

About the location

ALNWICK

Alnmouth 4 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Rothbury 10 miles.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike; for even more excitement, the enchanted world of Lilidorei is also available at Alnwick Gardens, offering seasonal events and plenty of fun for little ones of your group. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
