Located in one of the best spots on the Northumberland coastline and within a short stroll of Bamburgh’s famous sands, this two-bedroom apartment combines its breathtaking views towards Bamburgh Castle with a light-filled interior.
Bamburgh Five is located on the ground floor of Castle Garth, an Art and Crafts-inspired house that was built in the 1930s and more recently restored and developed to create a number of luxurious apartments. Private, gated parking makes it easy to leave the car behind and explore the many fantastic walks on your doorstep – not least the spectacular Bamburgh beach which lies just a few minutes away.
On entering this immaculate home, you’ll notice the way the space flows into the kitchen and the living space beyond. Within a few steps your gaze will be drawn through the French doors to the patio outside which enjoys a truly stunning view of the castle, surrounded by the leafy communal gardens that are a beautiful feature of Castle Garth.
The stylish interior is complemented by the eclectic touches of colourful artworks and accessories, creating a thoughtfully curated aesthetic that’s filled with personality. Unwind in the living space after a day’s adventures, where velvet sofas are positioned to soak in the vista, while a contemporary, wall-mounted electric fire gives instant warmth and a cosy ambience on chilly days. Dine al fresco on warmer days and enjoy the view at sunset when the castle is washed in glowing evening light.
The kitchen features Shaker-style cabinetry and granite worktops, catering for keen cooks as much as casual diners, while the separate dining room also showcases the dramatic castle view. The large window is framed by plantation shutters and bathes the room in sunlight, while the rustic wooden dining table is paired with elegant velvet seating.
The two bedrooms are the perfect havens for hunkering down after busy days spent exploring, complete with plump upholstered beds and cosy textiles. One bedroom is joined by an en suite shower room with a large walk-in shower, while the second bedroom includes an en suite bathroom with a combined bath and shower.
Although Bamburgh Five isn’t suitable for canine companions, this beautiful apartment is ideal for couples and offers the perfect base for exploring all that Northumberland has to offer. The village of Bamburgh is home to numerous independent pubs and restaurants, including the popular Potted Lobster, while the RNLI Grace Darling Museum commemorates the life of the iconic Victorian heroine.
The iconic Bamburgh Castle is a must-see with its towering keep and formidable battlements, with the castle also hosting events throughout the year. You can walk for miles along the pristine sandy beach and picnic in the dunes in the warmer months, or head further afield and discover the intriguing history of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, just north of Bamburgh, or the popular village of Seahouses that lies just to the south.
