Located in the friendly beach village of Spittal, just metres from the dog-friendly beach and promenade, this charming home is perfectly placed for a relaxed seaside break. Stroll along the shore or follow the riverside path into nearby Berwick-upon-Tweed, rich in history with its medieval walls, Elizabethan ramparts, and a great choice of independent shops, bars and restaurants to explore. Nature lovers can take a daily boat trip to spot seals and dolphins, or visit the Farne Islands – home to puffins in season, along with seals and spectacular birdlife. By car, you can easily reach the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and the dramatic Bamburgh Castle, with its sweeping beach and lively village. Just beyond Bamburgh, you will find the attractive coastal villages of Seahouses, Beadnell and Embleton – all well worth exploring for their beaches, harbours and local charm. Inland, the Dark Skies Northumberland National Park offers breathtaking scenery and stargazing opportunities, while the nearby villages of Ford and Etal make for a lovely family day out, complete with a heritage steam railway and castle. Berwick station offers direct trains to Edinburgh (just 45 minutes) and Newcastle, and a bus service right outside the property provides easy access to Berwick centre and the east coast mainline.
Inside, the house is warm and welcoming, offering a homely retreat after coastal walks and countryside adventures. The light-filled lounge invites you to relax with comfy seating – including an electric reclining chair – a glowing wood burner, a Smart TV, and a good selection of books and board games. There is also a table football game for a bit of family fun. The kitchen/diner is ideal for sociable mealtimes, with an induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and an espresso machine for your morning coffee. Share meals around the extendable dining table or head outside for an alfresco breakfast in the garden.
Upstairs, the front king-size bedroom offers a lovely sea view, while the twin room at the rear overlooks overlooks the rear of the property. There is a fresh and bright family bathroom with a bath, separate shower and WC. On the landing, you will find a quiet spot perfect for a dog bed, and four-legged guests are especially well looked after with a thoughtful dog welcome pack ready on arrival.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is great for dogs and children to play safely and features a patio area with garden furniture and a bench for enjoying morning coffee or evening drinks. At the front, there’s off-road parking for one car on the driveway, with additional unrestricted parking on the street.
