Craster South Farm, Craster

Located at South Farm Craster on the stunningly beautiful Northumberland Coast, Dovecote House is a charming character property offering individuality and distinctive architectural features reflecting its previous use as a dovecote and former farm buildings. Incorporating the tall chimney from the forge and smithy that was once in place on the site, this unique property is the landmark for the small number of properties within the hamlet and adds to the appeal of this amazing coastal home.

The style of the interior has the feel of an old farmhouse with exposed beams and a sizeable dining kitchen accommodating a large table in the centre of the room. Whilst a ground floor living room with an inglenook provides a cosy room for winter evenings in front of the fire, an impressive spiral staircase leads up to a mezzanine lounge on the first floor. The arrangement of the bedrooms is ideal for accommodating visiting guests or an elderly relative, as there is a ground floor bedroom with access to a Jack ‘n’ Jill bathroom, and a second bathroom alongside three further bedrooms upstairs that include an ensuite to the master bedroom. It is fantastic to see the original dove houses remain exposed in the walls of the large store room on the side of the house. This is a useful room for housing garden equipment and a sheltered storage area with access to the front and rear of the property. At the rear of the property, a large flat lawn garden has an appealing open outlook and a stone wall boundary, whilst an area to the front offers a sheltered courtyard style space particularly pleasant for enjoying the morning sun.
