1 Bed Cottage in Lowick

About this property

Equidistant between the Northumbrian coast and the Cheviot Hills, this five-star cottage is the ideal tranquil couple’s retreat. Around 7 miles to the east, the Northumberland Coast Path and the causeway to the majestic Holy Island await. Cross at low tide to explore the island and Lindisfarne Castle. A little further along the coast, the historic village of Bamburgh awaits with its quaint shops, the RNLI Grace Darling Museum and dramatic seafront castle. Staying closer to home, explore the Kyloe Woods and Holburn Moss or walk to St Cuthberts cave (1 mile). Experience Ford and Etal (6 miles) with its castle, working corn mill, heavy horse centre, and Lady Waterford Hall. Around 7 miles to the south and known as the gateway to the Cheviots, lies the market town of Wooler. Golfers will be spoilt for choice staying here, with courses at Goswick, Bamburgh, Wooler, Berwick and Seahouses.

Set within the grounds of the former corn mill, this property offers peace and privacy. Arrive via the long driveway and cross the bridge. Step inside to find everything laid out across a single story (with one step up into the bedroom). The kitchen/diner welcomes you with slate floors, high ceilings, original beams and hand painted cabinetry adding charm and character Cook up a romantic meal and dine at the table whilst listening to music on the Bluetooth speaker. The calming tones of the lounge, where comfortable seating surrounds a wood burner and Smart TV, set the tone for cosy evenings watching a film, reading a book or playing board games. Local artwork throughout the property lends a distinct sense of place.

Explore the wider grounds, which are beautifully maintained and where you will find further seating areas.
