Eglingham is a stone village on the road from Alnwick to Wooler, about seven miles north-west of Alnwick, set along the Eglingham Burn below the open moors.
Eglingham is small, so homes here come up rarely: mostly stone cottages and farmhouses, a few larger period houses and some converted farm buildings. With so few sales each year, the price of any one home depends heavily on its size, condition and outlook.
Buyers here are usually looking for village quiet within reach of Alnwick, so homes that are well presented and priced against recent sales in the surrounding villages tend to find a buyer.
For local sold prices and trends, see our Alnwick house prices report, browse our properties for sale or register your search to hear about Eglingham homes before they reach the portals.
There is no secondary school in the village. Families usually look to the first and middle schools in the surrounding villages and Alnwick, with secondary schooling in Alnwick.
Eglingham sits on the B6346 between Alnwick and Wooler. Alnwick is around a quarter of an hour by car and the A1 a little further.
Day-to-day shopping is in Alnwick, which has supermarkets, a weekly market, GP surgeries and Barter Books.
The moors between Eglingham and Chatton hold some of England’s best-known prehistoric cup-and-ring rock art, and quiet lanes and footpaths lead up onto Beanley Moor.
People choose Eglingham for space, quiet and big skies, with a proper pub in the village and the shops, schools and station of Alnwick close by.
