Set over three floors, this stylish coastal home strikes a balance between comfort and practicality. The heart of the house is a fully equipped kitchen/diner with an induction hob and a full suite of appliances, opening to a large table for unhurried meals. A separate sitting room offers cushioned seating around a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings, with a Smart TV and Sonos for simple entertainment.
Upstairs are three bedrooms: a second-floor double with TV and en-suite walk-in shower, plus a further double and a twin (zip/link on request). A family bathroom adds both a bath and a separate walk-in shower. French doors lead to the rear garden, complete with decking and patio furniture. On clear days, you can enjoy views of Dunstanburgh Castle over a morning coffee. Practical touches include central heating, Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer, with two off-road parking spaces. Pet-friendly by design, with a stairgate available.
In the centre of Craster, you’re moments from The Jolly Fisherman Inn, the Blue Bell and The Treehouse Restaurant. Explore the working harbour, Robson’s fish smokery (home of the Craster Kipper) and the Mick Oxley Art Gallery. Walk the Northumberland Coast Path to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, or drive to Alnwick for Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden. Embleton Bay offers a classic sandy beach day, and Summerseats Viewpoint is a gentle local stroll. Shop 0.2 miles, pub 0.1 miles, beach 0.3 miles.
For dogs, the setting works best for simple, structured outings: a coastal walk from the Village to Dunstanburgh Castle, potters along the harbour, and beach time at Embleton Bay. Use the rear garden for short breaks but supervise, as it is not enclosed. Note mobile reception can be patchy on clifftop paths and around the Village.
