The Property
Set against the majestic backdrop of Lindisfarne Bay, The Byre is a striking stone-built agricultural building conversion with far-reaching views across the tidal causeway to Holy Island and beyond to the Farne Islands. The property blends historic character with contemporary comfort, creating a rare and peaceful retreat.

Inside, the layout is designed to maximise light and views in all directions. The upper floor has been reserved for a dramatic sitting room—a minimalist, vaulted space dominated by a full-height picture window that frames the coastal panorama, perfect for bird-watching, watching the tide roll in, or seeing the Northern Lights.

Also on the first floor is the principal bedroom suite, tucked under gentle eaves and bathed in morning light through a wide dormer window. Its en-suite is private and well-appointed. On the ground floor, underfloor heating warms the tile and carpeted surfaces throughout. The kitchen and dining areas form a warm and social hub, featuring terracotta tiling, timber worktops, and exposed sandstone. In the dining area, expansive windows look onto an enclosed courtyard garden, inviting in the afternoon sun. Two spacious double bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes and stylish en-suite bathrooms. A guest WC completes the layout.

Externally
The cottage is set within mature, well-tended gardens that have been carefully structured to make the most of its south-west orientation and outlook. A sheltered courtyard garden with lawn and seating area lies at the centre of the house, enclosed by dry stone walls and hedging. Out front, a larger garden stretches towards the coastline, offering a mix of open lawn and shade beneath mature trees, with curated viewpoints to Lindisfarne Bay, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands. A detached timber-clad garage with power sits to one side, offering secure storage or workshop space, with a gravelled driveway providing ample parking.

Agents Note
A contribution of approximately £100 per annum is payable for the shared private water supply. Further modest annual costs apply in relation to the maintenance and operation of the septic tank system.
