About this property

A charming end terraced property in the coastal town of Amble-by-the-Sea in Northumberland. This tastefully decorated cottage is a stone’s throw from the sea and offers families and couples a pleasant and tranquil base for their adventures on the Northumberland coast. Step through the front door and find yourself in an entrance porch with a handy cloakroom for storing walking boots and coats. Carrying on through the hallway you will find a cosy living room with a dining space at one end, as well as a sofa and sofa bed arranged around a woodburning stove at the other. The large kitchen is also downstairs, featuring a range cooker and traditional Belfast sink, as well as a door that leads out to an enclosed patio garden, complete with garden furniture. There is also a utility room. Upstairs is the well-maintained family bathroom and two elegant and neutrally decorated double bedrooms, one of which can become a twin room on request.
