Residing in the picturesque Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, this charming cottage is one of three adjoining properties set along a tranquil no-through road. Ideal for a getaway, it accommodates up to four guests and boasts stunning sea views, with the serene presence of cows and horses grazing in nearby fields. The surrounding area invites outdoor enthusiasts to explore unspoiled beaches such as Cocklawburn, Cheswick, and Goswick, perfect for activities like rock pooling and kite flying. Golfers can also enjoy the breathtaking scenery while playing a round, and both walkers and cyclists will find a variety of trails, including the renowned Sandstone Way, catering to all skill levels.
Just a short drive from the cottage is the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, where visitors can wander through cobbled streets, experience the Lowry Trail, and indulge in a mix of independent shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, including galleries and a theatre. The nearby Holy Island and the iconic Bamburgh Castle offer additional opportunities for exploration, making this location a hub for both relaxation and adventure.
Upon entering the cottage, guests are greeted by a small hall perfect for storing outdoor gear. The spacious lounge features large windows that frame the coastal and countryside views, while two comfortable sofas and a wood burner create a cozy atmosphere for unwinding after a day of exploration. The kitchen/diner is fully equipped with modern appliances, including an electric oven, fridge/freezer, and a slimline dishwasher, making meal preparation a breeze. A dining table provides a lovely space for family meals, and a convenient ground-floor bathroom with a shower and WC adds to the cottage's functionality.
Upstairs, the cottage offers two well-appointed bedrooms: one with a king-size bed and open storage, and another with zip and link single beds that can be converted into a king-size on request, making it ideal for families. The bright family bathroom features both a shower cubicle and a separate bath, along with an adjoining WC. Outside, guests can enjoy a small north-facing patio with coastal views and access to a private south-facing walled garden just 50 yards away, complete with a summer house for relaxation and bike storage. Roadside parking for two cars is available directly in front of the cottage, ensuring convenience in this peaceful rural setting, although some farm traffic may occasionally pass through.
