3 bedroom Cottage near Bamburgh, Northumberland

Enjoy a stylish stay with friends or family in this exquisite two-storey cottage. Located on a small complex of renovated farm buildings, it’s around a mile from Bamburgh, home to a magnificent castle perched above a sweeping sandy beach. Here you’ll find a lovely selection of shops, cafes and restaurants along with the Grace Darling Museum and access to the Northumberland Coast Path. The fishing village of Seahouses (4.5 miles) tempts nature lovers with boat trips to see the wildlife of the Farne Islands, while history enthusiasts will be fascinated by the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (16.5 miles), approached via a tidal causeway.

This stone-built farm steading has been lovingly renovated, offering generous, light-filled living spaces and elegant decoration throughout. A front porch offers space to leave coats and shoes, access to a handy WC, and stairs leading to the first floor. Straight ahead, a door takes you to an open-plan kitchen and dining area with French doors in the original hemmel arches opening to the patio, creating an indoor/outdoor space. Double doors lead through to a spacious lounge with a fresh coastal palette, coral-inspired wallpaper, and a Smart TV, set in the glow of a flame-effect gas fire. Upstairs, three soothing bedrooms invite a blissful slumber, each with a feature wall and plush bedding. Choose between a super-king-size with coastal and country views and an en-suite shower room, plus a king-size and a twin that share use of a family bathroom tiled in travertine marble.

At the front of the property, a gravel drive and lawned garden offers space for three cars plus a bench for sitting in the sun. To the rear, a patio set amongst potted shrubs invites al fresco drinks and dining. There’s also bike storage with some beach equipment, such as buckets and spades.
