With its peaceful village setting and convenient location near some of Northumberland’s iconic attractions, this gorgeous country cottage is sure to charm. Amenities are on hand with a village store and local pub within 300 metres, with more choice at Alnmouth (1 mile), home to colourful houses, abundant wildlife and a golden beach. Inland, the market town of Alnwick (3.5 miles) beckons with its world-famous castle and unique poison garden, while the Northumberland Coast Path promises dramatic sea views and a string of imposing castles.
Follow the path through a wildflower garden to the front door of this semi-detached, two-storey cottage. Inside, this property has been lovingly refurbished with bold patterns, modern tones and plush fabrics for a decadent, contemporary feel. A small porch welcomes you in with stairs ahead leading upstairs and the lounge to the right. This room has a sumptuous feel with bold sofas and wallpaper, a Smart TV and DVD, and a wood-burner-effect electric fire. A dining table set beneath a feature light at the rear of the room sets the scene for sociable mealtimes. A door leads into a contemporary kitchen with sleek white cabinets, high-quality appliances, a small breakfast table and patio doors to the garden. Two doors lead to a handy utility room and a ground-floor shower room. Upstairs, two south-facing bedrooms have double beds dressed in crisp linens and feature wallpaper, while a second bathroom adds convenience.
A cottage garden to the front with two chairs among the wildflowers offers a quiet spot to enjoy morning coffee, while a private patio at the rear invites al fresco dining and herbs for cooking. There’s an additional south-facing patio at the end of the drive for lazy summer afternoons and secure storage with beach equipment and a cycle rack. One private parking space is allocated on a shared driveway with additional roadside parking to the front.
