Description of The Waiting Rooms
Formerly the waiting rooms of Warkworth Railway Station, this Grade II listed stone building has undergone renovation to provide unique holiday accommodation for couples. Access to the property is via an external staircase which leads from an enclosed patio/planted scented garden area into the contemporary and well-equipped kitchen. The lounge enjoys the cosy comfort of a wood-burning stove with modern flat screen TV wall mounted above, oak gate leg table and chairs, a three seater leather sofa and high backed leather armchair. A spacious shower room is conveniently en-suite to the stylish double bedroom with king size Original Bed Company brass bed. The property dates back to 1847 (NER) and reputedly designed by Benjamin Green, the renowned architect of the Theatre Royal in Newcastle. The kitchen and shower room would have once been the platform to the station and the lounge and bedroom were the original waiting rooms, reputedly used by the then Duke of Northumberland. Although trains no longer stop at Warkworth station they do still pass by at speed on the East Coast Main line adjacent.
