Appletree Cottage
A real home-from-home, Appletree Cottage is set in the charming village of Ellingham which sits just a few miles from Beadnell and Low Newton-by-the-Sea which offer glorious golden sands just made for family fun and watersports.
Originally converted from two cottages, Appletree offers well-proportioned accommodation sleeping seven guests. The entrance porch doubles up as a boot room with plenty of hanging space, bench seating and a stone flagged floor. This leads into an inner hall, flanked either side by the sitting room, utility room and kitchen.
The sitting room has bags of character with original inglenook fireplace and a wood burning stove, while gilded artworks and deep comfortable sofas in soft linen, mixed with wood flooring and sisal offer a classic but relaxed vibe. The country style kitchen is the warming heart of the home with a Redfyre range cooker which is ideal for cosying up around the farmhouse table with tea and cake after a day of outdoor adventures, while a door from the kitchen leads out to an enclosed rear garden which enjoys views over open fields and countryside.
Upstairs the cottage benefits from a large family shower room, two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, while the master bedroom with king size bed benefits from an en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. All bedrooms offer views over the countryside beyond meaning peace-perfect-peace when a lazy weekend lie-in sounds like a heavenly plan.
To the front of the cottage is a gravelled driveway with parking for two to three cars, while a short hop around the corner will take you to The Pack House Inn, a dog friendly pub serving local ales and a hearty Sunday roast!
