Tigh-Na-Mara Retreat is a stunning bungalow house set in the coastal town of Spittal, Northumberland.
Well suited to families and groups of friends seeking sea views and convenient access to the county’s finest landscapes, this elevated retreat near the shoreline enjoys outlooks across the coast, an enclosed garden, and a location within easy reach of the beach and Northumberland National Park.
On arrival, you draw into the parking area and step out to sweeping views across the rooftops of Spittal and towards the sea beyond, before pausing on the front patio where outdoor furniture creates a natural place to enjoy the shifting coastal light.
Entering through the front door, a central hallway introduces a thoughtfully renovated bungalow that feels bright, stylish, and carefully finished throughout.
Just off the hallway, the first king-size bedroom welcomes you with wooden flooring, sea-facing views, and a dressing table positioned for relaxed starts to the day as light reflects across the water outside.
Nearby, the main bathroom offers a calm, spa-like atmosphere, with a rainfall shower for refreshing mornings, a freestanding bath for long soaks, and soft greenery enhancing the sense of relaxation.
Continuing along the hallway, a second bedroom provides another restful space, featuring wooden flooring, neatly arranged hanging space, a dressing table looking out to the rear, and artwork that adds warmth and character.
The twin bedroom carries gentle coastal touches, creating an inviting room well suited to children or friends sharing.
At the heart of the bungalow, the kitchen brings everyone together, with quality worktops, integrated appliances, and sea views making time spent cooking feel effortless, while the large central island with breakfast bar seating encourages informal meals and easy conversation.
From here, the sitting room opens into a generous living space, where four sofas are arranged to make the most of the picture window framing views across the town and sea, a scene that feels just as appealing after dark when lights begin to glow, making it a natural place to watch television, share stories, or simply take in the horizon.
A further shower room adds welcome flexibility to the layout, particularly after days spent by the shore, while the final king-size bedroom enjoys added privacy, with sliding doors opening directly onto the garden.
Outside, a patio with table and chairs sits close to the house for quiet breakfasts or evening drinks, while steps lead up to a lawned area and a decked terrace set to one side, creating a garden that offers choice and variety throughout the day.
A village shop and pub are within an easy stroll, while the beach is close enough for spontaneous walks along the shore.
Beyond Spittal, Berwick-upon-Tweed invites exploration with its historic ramparts, riverside walks, and independent shops and cafés, while Alnwick offers its grand castle, playful gardens, and welcoming places to pause after exploring, and Northumberland National Park lies within easy reach, opening up wide skies, rolling landscapes, winding walking trails, rich wildlife, and some of the darkest night skies in the country.
