A fabulous wide central staircase with polished timber handrails lead to first floor landing with two skylights providing oodles of natural light and the exposed beams accentuate the historic nature of this gorgeous home.

From the front gate, a long path meanders to the front of the property, to the side elevation there is a gorgeous south-facing, cottage-style garden, enjoying the sun from early morning until late evening, visited by barn owls at night. The Old Reading Room is a beautiful, detached stone property set in the tranquil coastal village of Lesbury, close to the stunning Northumbrian heritage coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a lovely 20-minute walk alongside the Aln River to the beach at Alnmouth, a picture postcard village where you may spot a local artist or photographer capturing the beautiful sweeping golden beach and river estuary.

Alnwick, the Ducal town where the Duke and Duchess reside in the famous castle, is only 4 miles away. Here you you can explore some of the cobbled streets, cafés and alleyways whilst browsing the shops and stopping off for lunch. Three historic castles are within a 10-mile radius of the Old Reading Room, ensuring your days out are within easy driving distance.

Amble is a friendly small harbour town with a lovely Sunday market, which is popular with both locals and visitors, and you can browse the little shopping pods, too, picking up a local treasure to take home. Craster Kippers are a must, and can be bought at the old smokery in Craster village whilst out exploring.

Just a 10-minute walk is Alnmouth train station, where a trip to Edinburgh, Berwick, York or Newcastle is possible for a completely different day out using the East Coast Railway. You are also welcome to bring your bikes, golf clubs or canoes to the Old Reading Room and store them in the on-site garage; there is space outside for two family cars.
