An incredible, open-plan living space with a vaulted ceiling and a wood burner makes this stylish barn conversion really stand out from the crowd. Suitable for up to four guests, it’s ideal as a base for country walks, days at the coast and visits to Northumberland’s majestic castles.
Set among a group of other farm buildings, the cottage is reached via a mile-long, single-lane track. Step into the hall to find a utility room with a fridge, small freezer and washing machine, and a WC opposite. Two steps up, the wonderful living space combines lounge, kitchen and dining areas. Bathed in light, the space has high ceilings, beams and a tiled floor, and features a Scandi-style wood burner that’s perfect for creating warmth and cosiness. Whip up delicious meals on the range cooker, dine at the spacious table and then spend the evening relaxing in the plush seating, with the TV for entertainment. On the same level, a second hallway leads to two tranquil bedrooms, which share a family bathroom. Children will love the enormous lawn, perfect for games and running around, and there’s also a patio area where adults can dine in the fresh air while enjoying the views of the surrounding countryside. Another bonus is parking for two cars on the drive.
The cottage is located just 1 mile from a welcoming pub, close to the village of Christon Bank. In Embleton, 3 miles away, you’ll have a choice of cafes, restaurants and pubs, and the beach is just 4 miles away. Explore Newton-by-the-Sea, Beadnell Bay and Craster, all within 10 miles, or head to Seahouses, 9 miles away, for a boat trip to the Farne Islands and the chance to see seals and puffins. Bamburgh Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle and Alnwick Garden can all be reached within 12 miles.
