Situated at the end of a picturesque row of stone farm cottages just inland from Dunstanburgh Castle between the renowned harbour village of Craster, Northumberland and the charming village of Embleton. This stunning property, offered with no onward chain, is ideal for families, retirees, second home buyers, or those seeking a rewarding holiday-let opportunity.
Owl Cottage is surrounded by beautiful green fields. Step from the front door onto the Northumberland Coastal Cycle Path to the beach at Embleton Bay and a short walk to the rock pools and Castle ruins of Dunstanburgh.
The home boasts a wealth of charm and character throughout, including original sash windows (all refurbished in 2014), stripped wood doors, and an inviting inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel burning stove, creating a warm ambience in the dual aspect living room. The garden room at the rear of the property features views across the generously sized garden and the open countryside beyond, providing an ideal spot for relaxation.
There are three light and airy well-proportioned bedrooms comprising two large dual aspect doubles and a smaller double currently set up as a single. The handmade kitchen, features bespoke units and a dedicated dining space, perfect for both family meals and entertaining guests.
Outside is the sunny enclosed back garden with three outbuildings offering practical storage. To the immediate front is a small garden with space for seating. There is a much larger south-facing walled front garden which is a great place to sit, in either of the two seating areas, to take in the sunny views and watch the local wildlife.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented country cottage in a prime Northumberland coastal setting, blending character features with modern comforts and impressive outdoor space. Early viewing is highly recommended.
