West Lyham
At the heart of the property is a large and open-plan living area, where a double-height ceiling sits above the large island and breakfast bar in the monochrome kitchen. The arched windows opposite fill the room with natural light, while the adjoining living area is a cosy place to relax beside the Morsø log burner. The dining table seats up to 16 guests and is set beneath vaulted ceilings and beams, creating an atmospheric setting for a dinner party. Next door, the living room is sure to be a favourite for celebratory evenings thanks to its bar with draught beer taps, which can be made available for guest use with prior arrangement. Outside, the large garden features a spacious patio area with garden furniture and a lawn for enjoying the beautiful sunsets and views towards the Cheviot Hills.
Stylish and minimalist, the five bedrooms comprise two which can be configured as either super king size beds or twins, two with king size beds and ensuite bathrooms, as well as a master suite with a king size bed, dressing room and ensuite bathroom. The large shared bathroom features a walk-in rainforest shower and freestanding tub. Next door, The Stables is home to another open-plan kitchen, dining and living area beneath a vaulted ceiling. The cottage is complete with two bedrooms, one which can be configured either as a super king or twin and one with a king size bed, each with large fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms. Finally, The Smithy forms its own private apartment for two, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area and a peaceful king size bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
While you’ll enjoy a sense of blissful isolation at West Lyham, the property is in fact just a few minutes’ drive from the village of Chatton which boasts an excellent village shop and an inviting country pub known for its excellent food. Many of the county’s most popular attractions are only a half-hour drive away, including Bamburgh Castle, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the picturesque coastal town of Seahouses and the medieval market town of Alnwick. Outdoorsy types will love the endless trails though sheep-dotted hills, meandering river valleys and rugged moorland within Northumberland National Park, including the 62.5-mile-long St Cuthbert’s Way trail which passes close by West Lyham, as well as the 120-mile-long Sandstone Way cycle path.
