The property
Lark Rise is a charming mid-terrace house within the Northumberland Coast National Landscape in the picturesque village of Alnmouth, Northumberland. Set in the heart of the village, with convenient bay parking for one car and a sun-trap garden, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or groups of friends seeking a coastal escape. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a spacious open-plan area, where you can enjoy quality time with your loved ones. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals including a handy dishwasher to help with the cleaning up. Meals can be enjoyed at the dining table, seating up to five guests, and the integrated dining/sitting area allows for easy relaxation during your stay. The property boasts three bedrooms, each with a pop of colour, differing from the soft blues in the living space that pay homage to the property's seaside location; the first is a king-size, with plenty of built in storage space, the second bedroom features a single bed and more built in storage space, and on the second floor, you will find a charming twin bedroom, offering a serene retreat after a busy day of exploring. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and an overhead shower, as well as a basin, heated towel rail, and WC. White slatted shutters throughout the house allow sunlight in and privacy when needed. A handy cloakroom with a washing machine, basin, and WC is also available, adding to the convenience of your stay. Outside, the property benefits from a separate, secure (lockable) patio garden, with a small lawn and summerhouse. Here, you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, while taking in the tranquil surroundings; it’s also an ideal place to store outdoor gear or hang wetsuits and beachwear.
Once you're ready to explore, take a short walk to the nearby Alnmouth beach for a day by the sea, followed by a hearty meal at one of the many restaurants and cafés to choose from. Nearby, you can find the magnificent Warkworth Castle, whose historic walls and gardens speak volumes of its medieval grandeur. Continue to Warkworth Beach, a hidden gem where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll, or embark on a coastal walk to Seaton Point, taking in some of the most breathtaking views Northumberland has to offer. Be sure to visit Alnwick Castle, famous for its role in the Harry Potter films, then wander through the enchanting Alnwick Garden, home to one of the world's largest treehouses, the unique 'Poison Garden', and the magical Lilidorei, a mythical world of fairy-tale adventure. End your day with a visit to the tranquil ruins of Hulne Priory, nestled in beautiful parkland. No matter how you choose to spend your days, you'll be glad to return to the comfort and charm of Lark Rise.
