This spacious and stylish coastal property in Amble is a fantastic base for a seaside escape with friends or family. The upside-down layout makes the most of the surrounding views, with living space upstairs and bedrooms below. Right opposite the cottage (100 metres) lies Little Shore Beach, while Amble’s circular pier (350 metres) has wonderful views across the water towards Coquet Island, home to puffins and roseate terns – take a boat trip there from Amble Harbour (0.5 miles). The town itself is packed with excellent seafood restaurants, welcoming cafes and independent shops, all within 0.5 mile. You might catch the lively Sunday market or visit during the annual Puffin Festival held each May. Other local highlights include Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre (2.5 miles) with its eco-friendly visitor building and cafe, Druridge Bay Country Park (3.5 miles) with its lake and sandy shoreline, and the quieter stretch of Cresswell Beach (10 miles).
Step through the front door and leave your outdoor footwear before entering the ground-floor hallway, which leads to three beautifully presented bedrooms. One is a spacious super-king-size room with lovely sea views to wake up to, plus an en-suite shower room. The other two king-size bedrooms each open onto the enclosed patio via French doors and have their own en-suite shower rooms. Two of the rooms can be made into twins on prior request. The formal dining room is also on this level and has an extendable table for sociable mealtimes, complete with chafing dishes to keep food warm when serving a group. A separate WC sits just off this room, and there’s a handy utility area. From here, you can step out through the back door to the bubbling hot tub. Head upstairs to the impressive open-plan lounge and kitchen, which has wide views towards the harbour and beach. Sink into the large sofa or leather swivel chair, binoculars in hand, and watch the coastal activity unfold. Sliding pocket doors open fully onto the balcony so you can enjoy the fresh sea air and spectacular sunsets, and the doors are fitted with fully electric blinds. The media wall houses a large Smart TV and a stylish electric flame-effect heater – ideal for cosy evenings in, while the bespoke ceiling lighting in the lounge creates a starry night-time feeling. The sleek kitchen centres around a generous island with bar stool seating, perfect for relaxed breakfasts or chatting while making dinner.
At the rear, relax together on the enclosed patio, which has outdoor lighting, a bistro set and an inviting hot tub. On-street parking for one car is available directly outside the property, with additional free parking close by.
