Sleeping up to eight guests, The Fold is perfect for families and groups of friends looking for a getaway in the heart of Northumberland.
The Space:
The Fold is one of only ten properties to be given special permission to be built in this quiet conservation area estate village on the site of the former Home Farm steading, between the village cricket ground and the mill pond. Built-in traditional Northumbrian style with local stone, it mixes the solidity of times gone by with a superior contemporary internal finish. It is set amongst similar newly built properties and conversions of the Blacksmith's, The Old Sawmill, and Joiner's Shop, all part of the original Home Farm site.
The open plan living and dining area is the perfect place to retreat to after a day of exploring. Fire up the real wood burner for cosy evenings in. In the summer months, the French doors to the rear open out to the property’s large garden. Children will love the swings and Wendy house, while the adults can relax and take in the distant sea views.
Double doors from the dining area lead through to the fully equipped kitchen which features modern amenities, cookware and crockery. Perfect for preparing home cooked meals during your stay, you'll have everything you could need. From the kitchen, there is a separate utility room. Also downstairs is a cloak room, along with a shower room with a WC and wash basin.
The Fold also has a separate snug room with a TV which is perfect for families holidaying together.
Head up to the first floor and you’ll find the master bedroom with a king-size bed and ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is versatile with a zip/link twin or super-king size bed (please state at the time of booking how you would like this room to be made up). The third bedroom has a king-sized bed, and the fourth bedroom has two single beds that are more suited to children.
Completing the first-floor layout is a cosy family bathroom with bath and overhead shower.
