Whittingham sits on the River Aln in the Vale of Whittingham, a quiet farming valley west of the A697 between Alnwick and Rothbury.
Whittingham’s homes are mainly stone cottages and terraces either side of the River Aln, with farmhouses and larger houses in the vale around it. Few homes change hands each year.
Because sales are infrequent, a valuation here leans on recent sales across the surrounding villages as well as the village itself.
For local sold prices and trends, see our Alnwick house prices report, browse our properties for sale or register your search to hear about Whittingham homes before they reach the portals.
Families usually look to first schools in the Vale and to middle and high schools in Alnwick or Rothbury. Check current catchments with Northumberland County Council before you buy.
The A697 runs just east of the village, giving quick access north towards Wooler and south towards Morpeth. Alnwick and Rothbury are each a short drive.
Larger shops, banks and GP surgeries are in Alnwick and Rothbury. Neighbouring Glanton is only a short walk across the vale.
Whittingham is home to a traditional summer show, Whittingham Fair. The vale is good walking and cycling country, and the Cheviot foothills begin just to the west.
Whittingham suits buyers who want a real village by a river, in open countryside, with Alnwick and Rothbury both within easy reach.
