An acre of grounds and artfully curated social spaces make this five-bedroomed residence a real pack-pleaser. Six miles from Bamburgh and boasting breathtaking views towards Budle Bay, it’s a great base for friends or family and a duo of doggie pals. Enjoy coast and countryside walks; after dark, a cinema room offers the ultimate entertainment experience.
Pause to appreciate the views before stepping into the spacious entrance hall. Beyond, the kitchen has a quirky table and striking colour palette. A tiled floor will keep the dogs cool as they await their dinner; when it’s time for your own, an elegant dining suite within the lounge sits close to bi-fold doors that serve up views of the distant coastline. Jewel-like colours, soft seating and a contemporary electric fire set the scene for companionable down-time. Those who want to watch TV or curl up with the dogs at their feet can relocate to the snug, while the stunning cinema room elevates movie nights with its reclining seats and projector screen – a popcorn machine is provided too! A handy utility room completes the ground-floor layout and makes a chill-out space for pups. Once they’re settled, three double bedrooms occupy the first floor – one with an en-suite – along with a breathtaking king-size en-suite boasting magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows and a seating area. A family bathroom on this level completes the convenience for all. On the second floor, Velux windows allow light to flood into the king-size bedroom, where en-suite facilities sit partially behind a glass block wall. You’ll all have a ball in the huge grounds here, which are edged by hedging and include a large lawn for games of fetch plus a decked area for al fresco dining.
Park, unpack and explore the surrounds at your own pace. Dogs are welcome in the grounds of Bamburgh Castle, and they’re also allowed aboard the boats that travel between Seahouses (10 miles) and the wildlife-rich Farne Islands. For tail-wagging walks sniff out the Northumberland Coast Path; just north of Bamburgh, Budle Bay has shallow waters that attract a host of birdlife along with grey seals, dolphins and even otters.
