Fully renovated in 2020 to a high standard, natural traditional materials have been used whilst updating the cottage for comfortable modern living. Situated opposite St Paul’s Church in the old village centre of North Sunderland, now part of Seahouses, a mile from Seahouses North Beach. The cottage is set back from the road and enjoys a very quiet and secluded location, yet the bustling harbour and seafront are just ten minute’s walk away. This cottage features exposed stone walls and beams in most rooms and is packed with original features. The exposed wooden lintels are derived from ship’s timbers and the original 200-year-old wood floors upstairs have been restored and sanded. The lighting is mounted in exposed steel conduit with Edison-style bulbs. Downstairs the floors are limestone flags throughout. The kitchen has a wide range of newly installed high gloss kitchen units, granite worktops and a vaulted ceiling. The living room has an exposed stone fireplace with a wood burner (all logs for the week included) and an open feature staircase. Upstairs there are two generously sized bedrooms both with kingsize beds. Unusually, the first bedroom is part of an impressive suite of three rooms comprising a bedroom, shower room and a spacious vaulted sitting room, only accessible to the occupants of bedroom 1. Both shower rooms are newly fitted with a walk-in shower. The sitting room over the archway has an electric log-effect stove. The bedding is crisp Egyptian cotton from The White Company with new Sleepeze pocket-sprung mattresses. The accommodation is immaculately presented with an eclectic mix of both old and new furniture selected to suit the character of the property.
This luxury property is ideal for couples seeking superior accommodation. The amenities within Seahouses include tearooms, restaurants, pubs and shops. Boat trips to the Farne Islands run from the harbour, the islands are famous for their nesting seabirds and grey seal colonies. Horse riding, a links golf course, kayak and surfboard hire, windsurfing, mountain and road cycling are all available nearby as well as coast and country walks in this outdoor playground.
Claremont is perfectly located to explore the Heritage coastline designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty. The picture postcard village of Bamburgh, protected by its fortress, is a lovely walk from Seahouses along the top of St Aidan’s dunes and onto golden sandy beaches. Just beyond Bamburgh is Budle Bay, where at low tide a vast expanse of mud flats is the home to countless thousands of sea and land birds making this bird sanctuary a haven for bird watchers. The market town of Alnwick with its castle offers many facilities. Alnwick Garden is a popular visitor attraction with its grand cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe!
