Popular homes for sale in the shadows of Hogwarts

With the latest, eagerly awaited Harry Potter film now in cinemas, Alnwick Castle, the stunning medieval location used as Hogwarts, is dominating our screens once again.

Located less than five miles away from the iconic castle, comes an opportunity courtesy of Annington Homes, for avid fans and prospective homebuyers to purchase their very own slice of Harry Potter magic; with the popular Longhoughton development situated in the shadows of the infamous film set.

Annington’s development of two and three bedroom houses, which is located in the small, picturesque Northumberland village of Longhoughton, is in an area famous not only for its Harry Potter connection, but also its wealth of picturesque landscapes and historical surroundings. In particular, residents can benefit from easy access to some of England’s most beautiful coastal scenery on the heritage coast, which is perfect for young families growing up in the area.

The village of Longhoughton offers many of its own amenities, including a local shop, post office and primary school. The medieval and traditional market town of Alnwick provides further shopping and entertainment facilities, as well as a good selection of primary and secondary schools.

Anita Brown, Sales Manager at Annington Homes, commented: “With the Harry Potter series having captured the imagination of millions of fans around the world, Alnwick Castle and the scenery which surrounds it, has been seen and admired by many. Longhoughton has been an enormously successful development for Annington Homes, particularly because of the magnificent hills, valleys, sandy beaches and historic castles that surround the area; making it perfect for families and downsizers looking for an area with both charm and variety, but the properties don’t have the huge price tag normally associated with an area of this kind.”

The spacious properties at Longhoughton are set in an established environment, with prices starting from £109,950 for a two-bedroom home and £119,950 for a three-bedroom home. Those keen to find out more about purchasing an Annington Homes property at Longhoughton should visit: annington.co.uk
