Spend your days gazing over the dunes and out towards the sea from this striking property above a friendly, bustling beachside cafe in the village of Cresswell. With the beach just across the road, you can be on the sand within moments, whether you’re holidaying with extended family or friends. The Northumberland Coast Path starts from the village, offering miles of glorious shoreline to explore at your leisure. Follow the trail through Druridge Bay Country Park (6 miles) and up to the vibrant fishing town of Amble (9 miles), great for independent shopping and boat trips around Coquet Island to spot puffins and grey seals. If it’s good food you’re after, simply potter down to the cafe below the property for a delicious breakfast or take a stroll to the village’s long-established ice cream parlour for a frozen treat.
Stylish yet homely, this reverse-level property is designed to make the most of its sweeping coastal views. You’ll enter through the garden into a welcoming hallway, with space to store coats and walking boots. Three of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor – two super-king-size rooms, each with French doors leading directly into the garden, plus a cosy single bedroom. One of the super-king-size bedrooms has a pull-out bed for an additional child if required. A stylish walk-in shower room completes this level. Head upstairs to the light-filled, open-plan living space, where windows on three sides frame mesmerising views across the dunes towards the sea and the surrounding countryside. Sink into the comfortable sofas to watch the Smart TV or just relax with a book and enjoy the scenery from the picture window. The large dining table is perfect for bringing everyone together for sociable mealtimes after preparing nibbles and dinner in the kitchen. If you’ve brought your laptop, there’s also a desk and chair to catch up with emails. A step from the landing takes you to the light and airy fourth bedroom, which has a king-size bed and ample storage space. With windows on three sides, including a large picture window, you can wake up to wonderful views of the sunflower fields, dunes, and the outside cafe space below. Completing the second floor is the family shower room.
The spacious garden, which is enclosed by mature shrubs and fencing, is a lovely spot for relaxed al fresco dining after your days out exploring the area. Fire up the gas BBQ to enjoy a grilled treat and linger outdoors until the light fades and the starry dark skies take over. Private parking is available for up to eight cars in the parking area adjacent to the house.
