About this property

A beautifully converted stone cottage with landscaped gardens and vivid green fields of surrounding Shilbottle; Blacksmiths Cottage is the most perfect family getaway in Northumberland country. A splendid set-up in the heart of a peaceful village, you will be itching to come back to wonderfully presented rooms and contemporary furnishings. Step across the laminate flooring which coats the kitchen floor to find a comfortable living space complete with a breakfast bar and useful appliances. For some comfort in the sitting room, absorb the cosy atmosphere while you recline on the leather sofa. During summer, throw open the French doors to the patio and delight in the airy outdoors with an abundance of glorious wildlife creeping over the garden fence. The ground floor of this idyllic cottage showcases three stunning bedrooms beautifully presented in white, comprising a king size bedroom and a double bedroom, the former featuring an opulent en-suite wet room, and a smaller 4' double. Meander into the family bathroom to get yourself ready in the morning and behold a delightful grey colour scheme with a deluxe freestanding bath and modern fixtures. Why not treat yourselves to a luxurious soak in the bath with a lovely glass of wine and if you fancy a continued evening of luxury, step outside to the patio.
