Wynding House is the principal property within an assemblage of houses in the heart of Bamburgh, once lived in by Thomasina Darling, Grace Darling’s sister (the vendor is in possession of a letter written by Thomasina whilst at the property in approximately 1882 and is also mentioned within part of the displays in the Grace Darling Museum in Bamburgh).

This handsome stone-built property, offering flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, has been sensitively modernised to combine the amenities of modern living with character features including large sash windows, generously-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and fine cornicing.

The property has been offered as a quality holiday let, giving the prospective purchaser the opportunity to develop its commercial potential or to utilise it as a stunning family home. The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom and briefly comprises a spacious sitting room with exposed wooden flooring and a feature open fireplace flanked on each side by built-in storage, a spacious dining room, also with exposed wooden flooring and a feature open fireplace, and a generous fully fitted kitchen/ breakfast room, a separate utility area with a door to the rear aspect and a useful family shower room.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom with built-in window seats, built-in storage, a feature cast iron fireplace and a contemporary en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. There are two further well-proportioned bedrooms on this floor, along with a spacious family bathroom with modern freestanding bath and double shower. The property’s two remaining bedrooms can be found on the second floor, together with a further modern family bathroom with freestanding bath and shower cubicle.

The property is just minutes from Bamburgh beach and lies in the Conservation Area at the heart of the village of Bamburgh which offers many local shops and services including Carters Butchers, one of Rick Stein’s Food Heroes, coffee shops, restaurants including the Award Winning Potted Lobster, delicatessen, village store, greengrocers and public houses/hotels.

The village sits in the Coastal Zone, the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the North Northumberland Heritage Coast. It boasts the magnificent Bamburgh Castle which is open to visitors and is privately owned, beaches, an 18 holes links golf course, and a cricket club. The Farne Islands, just off the Bamburgh coastline, is well-known for its seabird colonies, including around 37,000 pairs of puffin. A couple of miles south of Bamburgh is the busy fishing town of Seahouses where further facilities and professional services can be found, including the well-regarded Ocean Leisure and Spa Club with pool, a supermarket, further restaurants and a local cinema.

Communication links are excellent, with easy access to the A1 and its excellent links to major towns and the motorway network, while regular trains from nearby Chathill station offer regular trains to Newcastle and to Central London.

The area benefits from a wide range of state schools including Seahouses Primary School, Belford First School, Glendale Middle School and Berwick Academy, along with a good selection of independent schools including Longridge Towers, Newcastle School for Boys, Westfield School and Newcastle High School for Girls.

The property is approached via twin wrought-iron gates set into stone pillars, opening onto a tarmacadam forecourt offering parking for multiple vehicles and providing access to the integral garage. The walled garden is principally laid to level lawn bordered by well-stocked flowerbeds and shrubs. A paved terrace enjoys stunning views of the castle and provides superb space for al fresco entertaining/dining.
