About this property
This property enjoys an enviable location on the harbourfront in popular Seahouses. Walk to all the village amenities from the doorstep and enjoy a range of friendly pubs, restaurants, takeaways and shops. Book a boat trip to see the Farne Islands up close and experience nature in all its glory, from grey seal colonies to puffins in the spring, and an impressive array of birdlife. Visiting dolphins can be seen regularly off the coast and at nighttime, you might catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis. Walk the coastal path to visit Bamburgh Castle (3.5 miles). The sandy beach is perfect for a stroll with the dog, and the village’s Grace Darling Museum, shops, bars and restaurants are a must. Beadnell Bay (3 miles) is a great place for picnics, walks, water sports and local eateries.
As you enter this beautifully refurbished, light, and airy coastal property, you will be immediately drawn to the large, wall-to-wall patio-style windows in the open-plan living space and the stunning sea views beyond. You can either sit inside on the two comfortable chairs with your binoculars or slide open the door and head onto the balcony with a drink to enjoy the seaside scenery. After your day exploring the area, relax on the comfortable sofa with a large footstool, and if you can tear yourselves away from the view, there is a Smart TV with Sky for your entertainment. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with all the modern appliances you will need and includes a breakfast bar with a couple of bar stools where you can enjoy your meals. Three internal steps lead up to the lovely double bedroom with another excellent sea view from the window seat, open-hanging space, and a wall-mounted TV. The shower room is just off the main access door and completes the accommodation with excellent lighting, a walk-in shower, and a WC.
Outside, the wide balcony has a bistro set where you can sit and unwind with a drink or dine al fresco. At the front, there is a bench seat and a small table where you can sit with a coffee in the sunshine and put on your walking boots.

A fantastic property in a super location! The views are amazing and everything is within walking distance. The owner provides a parking permit which is really handy. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!
