TOGSTON HOUSE

Togston House is a magnificent home that has excellent proportions and is set in a lovely country location, just 2.5 miles from the stunning Northumberland coast. Owned by the Cook family in C17th and C18th, this grade II listed home has been sympathetically and beautifully renovated retaining many original features, whilst providing the comforts of modern living for family life.

Situated in the quiet hamlet of North Togston, this exceptional property is a rare find. The home sits comfortably in approximately 4 acres of private gardens and paddocks, with a stable yard with loose boxes, a workshop and extensive outbuildings. This is the perfect home for the equestrian enthusiast or simply to enjoy a spacious property in a lovely country location. Boasting an orchard, a part-walled garden, and a rustic entertaining barn, it is perfectly equipped for social gatherings with friends and family all year round. Step outside for country walks or take a five-minute drive to the beautiful coastal villages of Warkworth and Amble.

As well as having extensive accommodation in the main house, including a large attic, Togston House also benefits from a lovely renovated two-bedroom cottage. Currently being used as a holiday let, this is a fantastic income opportunity. The cottage could also be used for multi-generation living. Subject to planning permission, the outbuildings could potentially be converted into further accommodation. Planning permission has been submitted for a campsite which, if granted, could provide further substantial income.

Approached via a private sweeping driveway with a stone pillared entrance there is ample parking and a double garage. Spread over three floors, the generous and flexible accommodation is as follows:
