Baileygate House
Baileygate House in Alnwick, Northumberland, is a restored 18th century house dating back to 1769. Sitting in a prime location, the house is just minutes from the western tower entrance to Alnwick Castle. Baileygate House is situated in the quiet street of Bailiffgate, in the central medieval and Georgian core of Alnwick.

Walk to the left and you will find Alnwick old Abbey and the Duke’s superb Capability Brown Hulne Park, also within minutes.
