An exquisitely finished Northumberland cottage, this appealing retreat has been carefully conceived for your holiday comfort. Sleeping up to six guests, the three-bedroom property is ideal for families or friends looking to be close to shops and eateries, as well as beautiful beaches. Grab your buckets and spades and stroll just 0.5 miles to Amble Little Shore, with its colourful beach huts. The sandy stretch of Amble Links Beach, 1.5 miles away, is popular for surfing and kayaking. Amble Harbour village, a 0.5-mile stroll, is known for its quirky pod outlets selling everything from food and drink to jewellery and crafts, while the nearby marina is where you can book boat trips to see the wondrous birdlife. The impressive ruins of medieval Warkworth Castle are a pleasant 1.5-mile walk alongside the River Coquet. Alnwick, with its famous castle and gardens, is 9.5 miles away and makes a great day trip.
Step into this handsome end-of-terrace cottage from the street to discover it has been beautifully finished with a chic Scandi style. Light and airy, with wooden flooring, neutral decor and high ceilings, it offers an immediately restful atmosphere. Settle in the lounge, where there are stylish sofas and an easy chair to choose from. Find your current boxset on the Smart TV and switch on the wood burner-effect electric fire on chilly days for a cosy evening. There is also a desk where you can catch up on a little work on your laptop, should you need to. The kitchen/diner is a stunning open-plan space, which is also perfect for socialising. Take a shallow step up into the kitchen area to prepare your holiday feasts. Pause at the breakfast bar with your cup of coffee. Open the door to the courtyard from the porch on fine summer days. There are hooks here, plus a seat where you can pull off your walking boots. The dining area has a sofa, where you can relax with a cup of tea and a good book. There is another wood burner-effect electric fire in here. Also downstairs is a family shower room/utility room. All three of your welcoming bedrooms, each with plenty of storage space and USB charging points, are on the first floor. These include two doubles, one of which has dual-aspect windows and a Smart TV. The third room has bunk beds made up of a small 4’ double at the lower level and a single above. The family bathroom, which has a large, deep bath and a shower, is also upstairs.
While away summer afternoons outside in your enclosed courtyard garden. Dine at the table, share a bottle of chilled wine on the bench and let the outside lighting enhance the mood as darkness falls. A gate from the courtyard leads to the rear lane and a shortcut path to the harbour and a beach. There is an outside tap and hose for rinsing off walking boots or bikes. The cottage comes with on-street parking for one car to the front, plus additional space to the rear, both are subject to availability.
