This beautiful barn conversion in the village of Ellingham, with stone cottages and lovely countryside giving it an atmosphere of rural calm, yet is close enough to the coast and the A1 to make it an ideal base to tour this part of the country. The property benefits from modern comforts and is furnished to very good standards, with a large, airy, upper lounge with a realistic period coal effect gas fire. The sandy beaches of Newton and Beadnell, 4 miles, for bathing and watersports. Beadnell was formerly an important fishing village and smuggler's haunt, but now enjoys a reputation as a centre for sailing. Bamburgh Castle and Northumbria National Park a short drive. Fishing, riding and golf available locally. Alnwick, 9 miles. From nearby Seahouses there are calm weather boat trips to the offshore Farne Islands, a wildlife sanctuary with puffins, oyster catchers, kittywakes and many more. Shop 4 miles, pub ½ mile.
