Agents comments; "We are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully presented and spacious 5 bedroomed 3 bathroom detached property with garage, off-street parking and good sized garden in the highly sought after coastal village of Longhoughton.
Longhoughton, is located just over 2.5 miles to the famous Howick Hall, Gardens and Arboretum and just under a mile from the glorious beaches of Howdiemont and Sugar Sands ranked in the top 50 beaches in Britain by the Times. Also 9th September Chronicle confirmed Longhoughton as a 'hidden gem' and ranked number 13 in the Sunday Times' top 20 best secret villages to live in!!!
Howick Hall, is a Grade II star listed building in the village of Howick, and is the ancestral seat of the Earls Grey. It was the home of the Prime Minister Charles, 2nd Earl Grey (1764–1845), after whom Earl Grey tea is named. The 2nd Earl was the Prime Minister responsible for the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832 and whose monument stands at the top of Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. Howick Hall has been the ancestral home of the Grey family since 1300s and is still occupied by the Lady Howick and the Grey family. The famous Earl Grey tea is a tea blend which has been flavoured with oil of bergamot. The rind's fragrant oil is added to black tea to give Earl Grey its unique taste. Today thousands of visitors flock to the stunning gardens and tearooms to sample the famous tea with bergamot. Nearby also is the Bathing House, which was built by the 2nd Earl to allow supervising bathing of his 16 children which today is open to the public! The Bathing House is approached by a 400 metre private track.
The closest beach to Longhoughton, is Howdiemont Sands adjacent to Sugar Sands which gets its name as the sand is like light brown demerara sugar. The Coast and Castles cycle route passes nearby and provides the opportunity of walking/cycling through some of the most outstanding coastal scenery in the country, this part of the Heritage Coast is designated an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" as well as being a "Site of Special Scientific Interest".
