About this property

Belford 1.3 miles. An attractive, detached annex nestled in the quiet settlement of Middleton, near Belford in Northumberland. Set over the ground floor, this immaculate cottage offers heart-warming accommodation for families or two couples looking to escape the rush of everyday life. The open-plan living space is the social hub of the property, furnished with two large sofas, a woodburning stove and a wall-mounted TV for those family movie nights, a well-appointed kitchen with all the amenities required for a short stay along with a pine dining table where mealtimes can be enjoyed. After a sumptuous feast, head to the shower room and enjoy a refreshing rinse before grabbing a warm towel and preparing yourself for bed. There are two bedrooms, both featuring king-size beds and TVs, while the master hosts a contemporary en-suite shower for convenience. Pop on your walking boots and tackle the local area with your four-legged friend, strolling around the grounds of the Old Saw Mill, with its 9 acres of grounds and woodland, trout fishing lake, and kids play park including the opportunity to spot wildlife including deer and red squirrels. Venture into the village of Belford, home to a wonderful range of shops and restaurants, along with a hidden history museum and a parish church. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate joining the Northumbrian Coastal Route, running between Alnmouth and Lindisfarne, while slightly further north rests the picturesque Cheviot Hills, home to a culmination of idyllic valleys, crashing waterfalls and elusive wildlife. There are several daytrip options between Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, including Alnwick Castle and its associated exquisite formal gardens, as well as Berwick Castle, which sits on the banks of the River Tweed, Royal Border Bridge, Coxon's Tower, and Berwick Lighthouse. If it’s a day on the coast you seek, Bamburgh beach can be reached in 6 miles, offering good waves for surfing and there's even the Grade I listed Bamburgh Castle to visit! Make the most of this Northumberland region with a stay at the Bakery.
