Chillingham is a small estate village beside Chatton, below the Cheviot foothills, best known for its castle and its ancient herd of wild white cattle.
Chillingham is very small, and many homes here are estate or farm properties, so open-market sales are rare. When a home does come up, buyers often come from well outside the area.
Pricing a home here means looking at recent sales across Chatton, Wooler and the surrounding villages.
For local sold prices and trends, see our Alnwick house prices report, browse our properties for sale or register your search to hear about Chillingham homes before they reach the portals.
Children usually go to first schools in nearby villages, with older pupils travelling to Wooler and Alnwick. Check current catchments with Northumberland County Council.
Quiet lanes link Chillingham to Chatton, and on to the A697 at Wooler and the A1 near Belford.
Neighbouring Chatton has a pub; Wooler and Alnwick have the shops, surgeries and services.
Chillingham Castle opens to visitors, the wild cattle can be seen with a ranger in their park, and Ros Castle hillfort above the village gives views across to Holy Island and the Cheviot.
Chillingham suits buyers looking for real seclusion, in some of Northumberland’s most historic countryside.
