Set amid the sweeping landscapes of Northumberland, this characterful stone cottage provides a welcoming base for families and groups seeking fresh air, coastal scenery and fascinating heritage. With accommodation for eight guests across four bedrooms, the property sits within easy reach of both countryside trails and the dramatic shoreline.
Enter into a practical boot room where coats, walking gear and muddy footwear can be left after a day outdoors. A handy utility area includes a washing machine, along with access to a ground-floor shower room. The open-plan kitchen and dining area forms a sociable hub of the home. From here, continue through to the inviting lounge, where an inglenook fireplace houses a wood burner that brings warmth on cooler evenings. Comfortable sofas invite you to settle in with a film on the Smart TV or simply take in the far-reaching vistas towards the distant Cheviot Hills. French doors can be opened on warmer days to let the country air drift inside. On the first floor, a south-facing king-size bedroom features a charming window seat. This level also hosts the family bathroom and two twin bedrooms, one of which includes 2'6" zip-and-link beds that can convert to a king-size upon request. Climb the traditional cottage staircase to the top floor to find the final bedroom, a king-size retreat with impressive views and its own en-suite shower room. Outside, a patio area is well-suited to meals in the fresh air, alongside the BBQ and fire pit. At the front of the cottage, an outdoor tap is handy for rinsing muddy boots and dog paws. Private off-road parking for three cars is available.
