This 2-bedroom property is a single-storey detached home in Seahouses, Northumberland, sitting within 100 metres of the sea. Managed by Laura, this is a well-presented property on the peaceful outskirts of the village. The coastal path starts right from the doorstep, heading north to Bamburgh Castle and south to Beadnell Bay.

Seahouses is a working harbour village with shops, pubs and restaurants all within half a mile. Boat trips to the Farne Islands leave from the harbour, where you can spot puffins and grey seals. The south-facing enclosed courtyard garden lets you sit outside and hear the sea.

There is one shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is fully equipped including an air fryer, dishwasher and washer-dryer.
