East House
Ideal for celebrations, multi-generation family get-togethers and sporting parties, East House provides an idyllic base for relaxation and taking advantage of the rich unspoilt beauty of the north Northumbrian coastal landscape, where the miles of dune-backed sands are perfect for walking, sandcastles and beach cricket.
Bounded by a manicured lawn and wider parkland, it offers masses of space to make yourselves at home, whether for sophisticated soirées or precious family together time. The scene is quintessentially classic country, yet the golden stretch of Cheswick Sands offers exhilarating coastal walks all the way to Holy Island.
East House has an elegant drawing room and dining room presented in a classic style with fine period detailing and furnished with quality antiques, stylish fabrics and beautiful artworks, the original shuttered windows complemented by the timeless Farrow & Ball colour palette.
The large country-style kitchen has a Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher and coffee machine, and is furnished with a striking zinc and copper topped 10-seater refectory table by the inglenook fireplace – highly conducive to atmospheric candle-lit suppers in front of a glowing fire.
There’s an adjacent snug with Smart TV, which could be an excellent hub for youngsters wishing to chill out together. The house offers plenty of practical space too; there’s a utility room with washing machine and dryer and a boot room for storing outdoor clothing, boards, fishing rods and golf clubs or drying out dogs after a happy day gambolling on the beach.
The classical Georgian staircase leads to five bedrooms served by five bathrooms (three en suite) which all benefit from underfloor heating. There are three bedrooms on the front aspect with garden and sea views, including a generously appointed master bedroom, and two further bedrooms to the side, one of which is a bunk room sleeping four, making it ideal for children.
Outside, manicured lawns and the wider parkland beg for games of hide and seek while providing many tempting spots to linger over coffee while absorbing the captivating view.

Location
The house sits next to many close visitor attractions with local services nearby, including the wonderful Barn at Beal which sits 5 miles from the property for lingering lunches savouring the catch-of-the-day or informal evening dining.
More extensive amenities can be found in the Elizabethan walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed (7 miles) which has a mix of high street and independent shopping, as well as two large supermarkets, a Marks & Spencers food outlet and a good selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants, including The Maltings, a vibrant theatre and arts venue for an evening of entertainment.
Head a little further down coast to the very picturesque village of Bamburgh where you can enjoy fantastic seafood at The Potted Lobster or the Victoria Hotel if you like great pub food and a cosy chat next to the fire.
The town is also served by the main East Coast rail line with regular services to Edinburgh and Newcastle for a city day out.
