Surrounded by farmland and overlooking the Farne Islands, sits this peaceful two-bedroom stone cottage. Located just 1 mile from the fishing village of Seahouses, it’s a great option for a couple or small family wanting a large garden, stunning sea and countryside views, and easy access to the Northumberland coastline.
Originally a 19th-century barn, the property has been converted into a comfortable, light-drenched space. On the ground floor, the decor is homely and welcoming with wood-panelled flooring, beamed ceilings, and pleasant soft furnishings. After a day exploring the landscape, step into the lounge, sink into the sofa, and chat about your day’s adventures. On chilly nights you’ll want to cosy up in front of the wood burner but if the weather’s good, open the French doors and let the fresh Northumberland air breeze in. When it’s time to eat, a farmhouse-style kitchen has large windows so you can enjoy the glorious views while whipping up a delicious meal then serve it at the charming table with seating for four people. As the day draws to an end, retire upstairs and choose between two lovely king-size bedrooms. Both are a good size with pitched ceilings, neutral tones, and a soothing atmosphere. Outside, start the day with a morning coffee at the patio table, or sit in the garden and soak up the glorious sea views.
Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Seahouses (1 mile) is a pretty fishing village with a bustling harbour and a small selection of shops and cafes. From Seahouses, walk along the coastal path to Bamburgh Castle (3 miles) or jump on a boat and discover the Farne Islands. Beach-lovers can also enjoy Seahouses Beach or Annstead Beach while the more adventurous can try their hand at surfing or scuba diving.
