AREA INSIGHTS

Western House is positioned on the edge of the village of Lowick, in North Northumberland, in between Wooler to the south and Berwick upon Tweed to the North. Lowick is a thriving and popular village with an incredibly strong social community centred around it. The village hall has recently been completely refurbished and offer a variety of events which include a heritage group, quilting, a film club and pilates classes. The village also offers some excellent local amenities and facilities such as a well-stocked village shop, a first school and two public houses. A Post Office van visits the village frequently and a mobile library and a fish and chip van also visit the village.

Lowick offers some particularly beautiful walks nearby such as St Cuthberts Cave or on the stunning beaches of Holy Island, Goswick or Ross.
The historic market town of Wooler lies 8 miles due south of Lowick. Wooler offers some excellent local shopping, several public houses and restaurants and a CO-OP supermarket. Wooler also offers access to the Northumberland National Park, the largest national park in the UK and a wonderful place to explore the beauty of the surrounding area.

Berwick upon Tweed is only 10 miles north of Lowick and is famed for its stunning architecture. Berwick has a wide selection of amenities and is well serviced with local and national shops, five national supermarkets and schooling for all ages including a private school at Longridge Towers. Berwick also has a selection of leisure and sports clubs, banks, public houses, restaurants and The Malting theatre and cinema which offers daily shows and movies. There is a main line railway station which has regular trains to both Edinburgh, Newcastle and London, both Edinburgh and Newcastle are sub one hour travel time and London in circa 3 hours 45 minutes. There is also the A1 trunk road which bypasses the town and provides easy access both north and south respectively.

The local area has a wide range of popular attractions and activities including Northumberlands stunning coastline of unspoilt beaches and beautiful landscapes; Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, Bamburgh Castle and the ancient Border towns of Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are all within easy reach. Country and sporting pursuits are also readily available, including hill walking, salmon and trout fishing, riding, hunting and shooting. Golf is available locally with Goswick Golf Course being on the door step. Swimming, a gymnasium, squash courts and indoor bowling facilities exist at the new Swan Centre in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Despite Lowicks proximity to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, the area has a low population and can therefore offer a quality of life that is becoming increasingly rare.
