Located on the outskirts of Embleton village on the Northumberland coast, sits this charming one-bedroom property. Situated in the grounds of a 5-acre estate, it’s ideal as a romantic getaway or base for a solo traveller. Enjoy tranquil walks through the private woodland and orchard or stroll through the medieval village of Embleton. Alternatively, for a walk on the beach head 1.2 miles to Embleton Bay. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the sandy beach is overlooked by the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle and backed by dunes teeming with wildlife. If you fancy practising your swing, there’s also an 18-hole golf course.
Inside offers a sense of tranquillity with elegant furnishings and Rennie Mackintosh-inspired decor adorning all the rooms. On the open-plan ground floor, a comfortable sofa and chair make the spacious lounge a cheerful and inviting spot while huge French doors offer up countryside and distant coastal views. Relax with a film on the TV or simply sit and contemplate the views. For extra comfort, there’s a wood burner to keep things warm on chillier days. From the lounge, step through to the neat kitchen where you’ll find all the modern appliances you’ll need to create delicious meals then serve at the intimate dining table with seating for two people. There’s even a window seat in the kitchen so you can sit and chat while someone else does the cooking. A convenient family bathroom is also located on this floor. From the living area, stairs lead up to the first floor where the master bedroom is located. Featuring a king-size bed, the room is light and airy with beautiful sash windows that overlook the treetops. The en-suite bathroom has a fabulous freestanding bath that is ideal for soaking in after a day exploring the coastline.
Outside, a large decked terrace is a peaceful spot for morning coffee while watching the sunrise. During the day, enjoy a good book in the sun or pick some homegrown vegetables from the estate’s garden then dine alfresco on the terrace table.
