Like a Duck to Water Cresswell, Northumberland

Property Description

Providing a tranquil base to explore the seaside, this home is cosy and practical. Modern in decor, and homely in feel, this is a lovely backdrop for a romantic getaway or for the whole family. Soft wood-effect flooring, wallpapered alcoves and a gentle touch of blue washed throughout the home to reflect the proximity to the sea – we love its simplicity and nod to nature. In colder months, set the ambience with the log-effect fire and snuggle into the Chesterfield-style sofa with a good book to stretch out the evening hours. In summer, if you don’t fancy sampling the local fish and chips, rustle up a delicious meal in your well-equipped kitchen and dine alfresco on the private terrace.

Perfect for relaxing, this home is a welcoming retreat after days spent outside exploring the Northumberland Coast. With a prime location, only a three-minute walk to the beach, you can allow yesterday's troubles to be a distant memory as you blow away the cobwebs strolling the golden sands. If you’re lucky, you may even spot some of the bay’s array of wildlife – from seals to dolphins, this spot is a nature lover's dream.
