North Lodge, Milne Graden
With idyllic riverside trails on the doorstep and just ten miles from the wide sweeping sands of the exceptional Northumberland coast.
Newly refurbished throughout, the sitting room is a celebration of the flora and fauna of the area with colours inspired by the featured work of renowned painter/print maker Angie Lewin through her Saltmarsh Storm II piece and the intricate wallpaper illustrations by Mark Hearld.
Alongside this, limewashed wood and soft sage green is paired carefully with the warmth of natural wool and sisal, while an open fire will bring about some cosy contentment when those lazy days beckon.
The bedroom features a large king size bed, and the artisan feel continues with an oversized headboard in Royal Oak fabric by artist Andrew Davidson and the contemporary work of award winning print maker Emma Lawrenson.
Contrast this with the deep graphite grey of the kitchen, perfectly equipped for two, with exceptional south facing views of The Cheviots, leading directly onto a deck and south facing garden.
North Lodge is surrounded by garden on three sides and a five minute walk will take you down to the River Tweed, from which there is a super network of riverside walks. Four-legged friends are equally sure to enjoy Milne Graden’s dedicated Tails of the Tweed dog park. The estate’s old walled garden has been transformed into a safe and secure off-lead space for your dogs to exercise and socialise. The park is also home to a variety of fun obstacles, including a seesaw, tunnel, and platform, so you and your pup can try your hand at agility.
