This welcoming, detached house offers an idyllic escape on the Northumberland coast with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and in both upstairs bathrooms. The five generous bedrooms all have plenty of storage for your things and zip-and-link beds which can be made up as twins on request allowing for maximum flexibility for you and your party. Enter the boot room where you can leave your outdoor shoes and coats. Head into the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining area divided by a two-sided wood burner benefitting both the kitchen and dining space. There is a superb range of cooking facilities, a large kitchen island unit and granite worktops so the family chefs can plan and prepare tasty meals with ease. The generous dining area is a lovely space for memorable mealtimes with a long table and seating for ten, a Smart TV on the wall, and a comfortable sofa. In warmer months throw open the French doors to head directly onto the south-facing patio decking. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor; a super-king-size zip-and-link with a small TV and an adjoining family shower room with a shower and WC. There is a second super-king-size zip-and-link with a small TV and an en-suite shower and WC and a large king-size (5’6” wide) zip-and-link with a small TV and en-suite shower and WC. Head upstairs for the large lounge and views across the open countryside. The lounge is divided into two spaces, with three comfortable sofas to relax on in the larger area, a Smart TV for entertainment, and a cosy wood burner. The smaller chill-out area has another sofa and bench seating where you can read from a selection of books or play on the Wii games console. There are two more bedrooms on this floor, a twin bedroom (which can be made up as a super-king-size on request), with a small TV and an en-suite shower and WC, and the main bedroom with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed, a small TV, and a balcony with a bistro-style table and seating where you can sit to enjoy your morning coffee.

Outside, the large, enclosed decked garden has 2 large dining tables, and plenty of seating so you can enjoy sociable alfresco meals together. A family BBQ is always a fun evening and you can play chess on the large outdoor chessboard. Kids will love the Games room in the garage with a nine-in-one games table to keep them happy. There are deck chairs, beach equipment, and some outdoor games in here too. Meanwhile, parents might like to unwind in the bubbles of the six-seater cedar hot tub. There is also a hot and cold outside tap so you can rinse off your boots and pooches' paws after walks on the beach.
