The annexe to a handsome period home, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom bolthole has beautiful bespoke features and far-reaching sea views. Pet-friendly, it's within half a mile of Bamburgh’s iconic castle and beach, and comes with private parking plus shared gardens and a summerhouse.
Neutral tones and carefully chosen accessories add elegant sophistication to this single-storey property, which is part of a thoughtfully converted coastal retreat dating from the early 1900s. Set across one level, it features a fabulous open-plan living space with large, shuttered windows framing breathtaking sea views, and bespoke seating areas where four can unwind companionably. At one end, the kitchen has all the must-haves of home – including a coffee machine – and is flooded with light thanks to the dual-aspect windows that wrap around the adjacent dining suite. Once the dishwasher is loaded, relocate to the lounge area where soft seating is arranged around a wood burner, with a Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker and a generous collection of books and games offering entertainment for all ages. As your day draws to an end, a central hallway leads to two bedrooms, both with a Smart TV. One boasts a super-king-size zip-and-link bed – which, for versatility, could be made up as twins – while the other has a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom completes the comfort. Your living space extends into shared gardens – the property is surrounded by a mature landscape, predominantly lawned with trees, shrubs, seating and a summerhouse.
Bamburgh has a big open beach and a spell-binding castle that’s believed to have been occupied for over 10,000 years. Just 3.5 miles south, the fishing village of Seahouses has a bustling harbour – take a boat trip from here to the nearby Farne Islands, and you might see puffins, seals and dolphins. World-famous for its medieval religious heritage and 16th-century castle, Lindisfarne – also known as Holy Island – can be reached via a paved causeway when the North Sea tides permit; it’s a 15-mile drive from your doorstep.
