3 Christon Bank Mews

About this property

3 Christon Bank Mews, a welcoming cottage nestled in the village of Christon Bank, Northumberland. Perfect for families or friends seeking a coastal and countryside retreat, this abode features partial ground-floor living, two gardens, off-road parking for 4 cars, and proximity to Northumberland Coast National Landscape and Northumberland National Park. Unlock the door and enter the hallway that hints are the charm to come, with exposed beams overhead, pass through the stone archway into a well-appointed kitchen/diner. Here, the tiled flooring runs beneath your feet, hand-made wooden fixtures add character, and an oven and hob beckon you to craft a delicious meal for the group.

If it is a quick bite to eat, pull out a stool at the breakfast bar, or gather around the dining table for larger family feasts. After plates are cleared, feel the soft carpet beneath your feet as you enter the sitting room, with more charming beams above, and ample space to lounge, as you flick on the TV for entertainment for the evening. Freshen up in the ground-floor shower room, or for those who want to soak their achy muscles, head to the bathroom on the first floor to take a dip. When it is time to rest and rejuvenate, choose from four bedrooms, each continuing with that rustic feel with wooden beams and trusses, and ample storage to make you feel at home.

The ground floor is home to a double room, ideal for those with limited mobility, whilst the remaining three bedrooms are on the first floor, a family room with a bunk and single bed, and two more doubles. Outside, enjoy the benefits of two outdoor areas that you will lose track of time in. The courtyard has furniture to dine alfresco and sip a morning brew, whilst there is also a large garden where you can roam around the lawn with shrubbery, lay out a picnic blanket and tuck in whilst you plan the adventures to come. Visit the 14th-century ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, take a walk along the path as you soak in the sea views, with the occasional dolphin diving in the water.

Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum is steeped in history and beauty. Admire the daffodils and rare plants, treat yourself to a slice of cake in the tea room, or a splash of Earl Grey in the ancestral home of Earl Grey. Lace up your hiking shoes and take a trip to Northumberland National Park, uncover the natural beauty of this area on the various walking routes, with wandering sheep, woodland and moorland. After a day spent exploring the surrounding beauty, return to 3 Christon Bank Mews and unwind.

Christon Bank lies 8 miles north east of Northumberland's major market town Alnwick, famous for its stunning castle and gardens.
