Lakeside Cottage, Alice in Capheaton, Northumberland - sleeping 4 guests in two bedrooms | Cottage in Capheaton
2 Bedroom Cottage in Capheaton
Alice sits at one end of a row of three restored lakeside cottages that make up one of the oldest properties in the Capheaton Estate. This prestigious estate in rural Northumberland has belonged to the Swinburne family since 1260, resulting in a remarkable legacy that the current owners, Willy and Eliza Browne-Swinburne, are continuing to nurture.
The estate encompasses 500 aces of woodland, walled gardens and landscaped parkland that extends down to a large lake as well as the historic Capheaton Hall, a Grade I listed Baroque-styled mansion dating to 1669, and a small village. Having grown up in Capheaton Hall, Willy Browne-Swinburne is deeply committed to the ongoing restoration of the grand house as well as the maintenance of the estate’s gardens, woods and habitats.
The trio of traditional stone Lakeside Cottages is set near to the main gate to Capheaton Hall, a tranquil location with unbroken views of Sir Edward’s Lake and the lush woods surrounding it. If you step into Alice, you find yourself in a welcoming, fire-warmed open plan sitting, dining and kitchen space topped by a remarkable vaulted ceiling. Deep blue kitchen cabinets and sofas dotted with brightly coloured cushions blend with an eclectic mix of old maps and contemporary prints to achieve an informal yet stylish feel, which continues through the entire cottage.
Leading off from the living area is a large master bedroom topped by an exposed brick vaulted ceiling and decorated in delicate pink tones that contrast beautifully with select pieces of antique furniture. Dual aspect views to the lake and surrounding countryside, together with a smart ensuite bathroom, complete this lovely room.
A second bedroom and bathroom are found in the contemporary timber and glass rear extension that has leant this ancient stone cottage a new lease of life. A large picture window virtually spans an entire wall of the spacious double bedroom (which can also be configured as a twin room), affording sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, while the bathroom offers a bath with handheld shower.
The enclosed lawn and gravel back garden provides a sheltered spot in which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and guests are welcome to enjoy walks around the Lake and visits to the gardens at Capheaton Hall (subject to estate permission). For days when you’d like to explore slightly further afield, the splendid Belsay Hall, castle and gardens and National Trust Wallington house and gardens are both ten minutes’ drive away and keen golfers will find a wide choice of golf courses in the local area.
