The Borders & Northumberland Estate Agents

The market in this charming pocket of the North East offers a mix of grand period homes, stone farmhouses, country estates, and contemporary coastal retreats. High-demand areas include Corbridge, known for its elegant Georgian streets and Roman heritage; Alnwick, with its castle, gardens, and strong cultural pull; and Berwick-upon-Tweed, a historic walled town with excellent rail links to Edinburgh and Newcastle. Further into the country, villages like Morpeth and Wooler are sought after for their market-town charm and access to the Cheviot Hills. On the coast, Bamburgh and Seahouses attract buyers looking for dramatic sea views and an outdoor lifestyle. With our exclusive research and intimate understanding of local market trends, we’ll help you identify emerging opportunities, and take you through the buying process with confidence and clarity.

Our vendors benefit from strong demand from local buyers, those relocating from elsewhere in the UK, and international interest in the area’s historic and coastal homes. Properties with land, equestrian facilities, or period character often achieve a premium, while well-renovated cottages and second homes on the coast appeal to buyers seeking both lifestyle and investment opportunities. With Knight Frank’s extensive national and international reach, we are well placed to connect your property with a wide pool of qualified buyers who value the unique character of this market.

From Hadrian’s Wall to Lindisfarne, this region is steeped in history and beauty, with castles, fortified towns, and ancient abbeys dotted across the landscape. Its coastline, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers wide sandy beaches, while inland the Cheviot Hills and Kielder Forest provide endless opportunities for walking, riding, and cycling. Market towns such as Hexham and Kelso thrive with independent shops, farmers’ markets, and a vibrant sense of community, while cultural highlights include The Maltings Theatre in Berwick and Hexham Abbey. Connectivity here is also strong, with the A1 and A69 providing key road links. Meanwhile, the East Coast Main Line connects Berwick and Newcastle directly to London and Edinburgh, and Newcastle International Airport offers wider European and global access.
