Overlooking peaceful fields, this characterful cottage offers a charming base for couples and small families looking to explore Northumberland’s coast and countryside. With a wood burner and a sunny garden, it’s a year-round destination for relaxed rural escapes.
The cottage sits in a terrace of historic farm workers’ cottages and has retained some lovely original features while being updated for modern comfort and convenience. Step straight into the kitchen/diner, which is equipped with a microwave and a dishwasher, as well as that all-important coffee machine. Enjoy delicious feasts at the dining table before strolling through to the inviting lounge, where plush seating is gathered around a wood burner. If you can tear your eyes away from the gorgeous rural views, there’s also a TV and a games console for entertainment. Head up to the first floor to find three pretty bedrooms. The double has a cast-iron bed and a window seat with sweeping views, the single has characterful sloping ceilings, and the bunk-bed room features bespoke beds to suit either two children under 12 or an adult on the bottom bunk. They share a family shower room. A paved garden area at the front has space for an outdoor dining set – ideal for drinks and dining in the sunshine. The heated garage acts as a utility room, housing a freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and storage space. Two private parking spaces are also provided within 50 metres.
