This abode sits on a quiet estate with a collection of similar properties. Pass the furnished outdoor sitting area at the front of the property before stepping inside. You’re greeted on the ground floor by two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both served by a modern family bathroom. The double bedroom has been furnished with a TV for those truly restful mornings or evenings. Find another TV upstairs in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a place with vaulted ceilings, original beams and contemporary glass balustrades. There’s space to cook, dine and unwind in this room with soft seating for getting cosy on an evening. If the weather is balmy, take your tipple out onto the balcony and enjoy the views of the open countryside.
Venturing inland, the town of Wooler is just 10.5 miles away on the edge of the area’s mighty national park. A great place to embark on walks in the Glendale countryside, you can park the car here and set off walking, always looping back to enjoy a local town pub before heading home. A similarly appealing town is Alnwick (12 miles), well worth a visit for some shopping or dining out. In terms of beaches, you’re not at all far from Bamburgh Beach (5 miles), a stretch of appealing sand with the dramatic Bamburgh Castle set behind it and a popular golf course within reach.
