Living in Edlingham.

Edlingham is a tiny hamlet south-west of Alnwick on the road to Rothbury, known for its ruined castle, Norman church and old railway viaduct across the burn.

The Edlingham property market

Edlingham is a handful of homes and farms, so properties for sale here are rare. Most are stone houses and cottages with land or open views.

With so few sales, the right asking price comes from comparable homes across the wider Alnwick countryside.

For local sold prices and trends, see our Alnwick house prices report, browse our properties for sale or register your search to hear about Edlingham homes before they reach the portals.

Schools in and around Edlingham

There are no schools in the hamlet itself. Families look to the village first schools nearby and to Alnwick for middle and high school.
