Middle Barn Cottage is a stone barn conversion completed in 2024, sitting in a quiet hamlet just outside Christon Bank village in Northumberland. It sleeps six across three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The south-facing enclosed courtyard has outdoor dining furniture, a BBQ and a fire pit ideal for evening meals and Northumberland dark-sky stargazing.

The Northumberland coast is right on your doorstep. You can walk to a sandy beach for picnics and kite flying. At low tide walk from Embleton Bay to Low Newton-by-the-sea and stop at the beachside pub. A traditional pub is just one mile away. Embleton village shops, bars and restaurants are 2.5 miles.

The cottage has three bedrooms: a ground floor twin with garden views and an adjoining shower room, plus two first-floor king-size rooms with exposed beams. The kitchen-diner has granite worktops, a vaulted ceiling and an extendable table seating eight. The lounge features a wood burner and Smart TV.

Alnwick Castle and Gardens is eight miles away. Seahouses Harbour for Farne Islands boat trips is 8.5 miles. Dunstanburgh Castle golf course is three miles. Beadnell Bay for rock pooling and water sports is seven miles.

Middle Barn Cottage suits families, couples and walkers equally well. With a secure garden, two dogs welcome and walking routes from the door, it is a genuinely practical base for exploring one of England's finest coastlines.
