Yorkshire stone and cobblestone paths encompass the property, leading you indoors to the grandeur of this superb conversion. The living spaces have been thoughtfully designed to incorporate plenty of natural light, showcasing the original features and the best of the serene surroundings. Starting with the ground floor, the spacious kitchen/diner/snug is wonderfully equipped with Quartz worktops and ample amenities for a self-catering stay, with additional appliances available in the convenient utility room. Down on the lower-ground level, the snug makes fantastic use of glass with doors leading out onto the patio, allowing the outdoors to come in, and an abundance of quality furniture to unwind on, whether that’s cosying up indoors, or taking in the fresh air in the garden. Back up the stairs to the ground floor, the TV room provides you with entertainment for a more relaxed evening with a film, while up on the landing, you’ll find a games-room-style landing, sure to keep your party occupied for hours. Finishing off the ground floor shared spaces is a WC, complete with Mandarine Stone tiling, and the ideal spot for freshening up after a day at the beach. The first of five beautifully presented bedrooms rests on the ground floor, making this home perfect for a multigenerational family, and is home to a super-king-size bed, plenty of storage, dressing room and a wet-room en-suite. Up on the first floor, the master bedroom boasts a Duravit freestanding bath within the en-suite, inviting long soaks after a day of exploring the area.

Two more super-king-size bedrooms lie on the first floor, along with a welcoming double, each boasting plush beds and Mandarine-Stone-tiled en-suites of their own, ensuring privacy for the whole group. If you can tear yourself away from the comfort of The Old Watermill, be sure to savour the outdoor space, where the stream provides the babbling sounds of running water, and the popular Long Nanny will lead you to the picture-perfect coast. Stroll through the Northumberland Coast National Landscape and into the gorgeous harbour village of Beadnell or to one of the best beaches in Northumberland, Beadnell Bay. Make memories to last a lifetime at The Old Watermill.

This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland’s Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.
