The Old Dairy - Stunning Cottage at Ellingham Hall

Fully refurbished to an extraordinary standard and listed as a holiday property only in 2020, The Old Dairy at Ellingham is an absolutely stunning cottage situated in the most picturesque outer-grounds of beautiful Ellingham Hall - located just 6 miles from Bamburgh and equal distance from Beadnell and Alnwick, and the rest of the Heritage Coastline. This stylish and spacious 2,100 sqft cottage is perfect for a larger group, or family looking to stay in a picture-perfect chocolate-box village. An absolutely premium property, which has been comprehensively and tastefully decorated & furnished - the cottage is unrivalled, and is amongst the most sought after properties in the region. It has a large lawned garden, with a magnificent woodland tree-house structure for children just across the private road, as well as an excellent gastro pub, The ‘Pack Horse Inn’ just a couple of hundred yards easy stroll away. The village of Ellingham is quaint and quiet, yet just over a mile from the A1 so it’s very easy to explore the whole of Northumberland from here. Beadnell is less than 10 minutes in the car where you will find the east-coast’s only south-facing beach, perfect for walks at dusk and dawn. High speed broadband Wi-Fi and Netflix are equipped as standard. The Old Dairy has 3 full bedrooms – with 3 gorgeously appointed, travertine-tiled adjacent / ensuite bathrooms - and sleeps up to 6 adults; in a spacious king-sized master room, and a smaller twin room with 2 single beds upstairs, and a very large Queen bedroom downstairs. The wonderful airy open plan kitchen and dining room also provides access to the long lawned garden, which is fully enclosed and completely safe for children. In addition to the 2 upstairs bedrooms, there is an expansive and elegantly furnished lounge area at the opposite end of the hallway. The cottage also houses a collection of original paintings, photographs, and objet d’art from renowned local and international artists, as well as a collection of unique local antiques. The property has gas central heating with radiators throughout. Kitchen and Dining Room: The front door opens into a tidy entryway, which in turns leads to the large open plan kitchen and dining area, with a lovely outlook onto the front garden, accessed via French doors. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with all the expected appliances - and more - including brand new Belling Induction hob and oven, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, microwave and Nespresso coffee machine. In this area you will also find the dining table, with both chair and bench seating. Utility Room & Cloakroom: To the left of the entryway, there is a washing machine and chest freezer in this useful room, along with an iron and board, clothes drying stand and step-stool. Further down the hall to the right is an under-stairs storage area containing the Weber gas BBQ, high chair, and travel cot (if required). Downstairs Queen Bedroom and Bathroom: A hallway from the kitchen leads to a very large bedroom with a Queen bed and wardrobe. Next to the bedroom is a complete bathroom with bath, shower, wash hand basin and WC. All windows have blackout blinds. Upstairs Hallway and Lounge: A staircase to the first floor hallway leads to the large and sumptuously furnished lounge room with leather Chesterfield sofas, designer furniture and lighting, an electric fireplace, and 55 inch HD TV with full Netflix and terrestrial channels. At the other end of the hallway are 2 bedrooms with full ensuite bathrooms. Master Bedroom: This light and airy bedroom has a king size bed and a large characterful window overlooking the beautiful garden and copse of mature trees housing the treehouse play area (not busy). A spacious ensuite bathroom is adjacent to this room with separate bath and shower. Towels and bedlinen are top quality. A blackout blind is provided for shielding out early morning sunshine. Twin Bedroom: Another cosy bedroom with 2 full size (3ft wide) single beds, and ensuite bathroom, with the same beautiful garden view. The bed linen and towels are top quality. This room also has blackout blinds. Outside and Garden: The Old Dairy is nestled in a pretty hamlet of similar luxury cottages within the grounds of Ellingham Hall - although distinguished from its neighbours by superior quality of fit out. The cottage has a large – fully enclosed - lawned garden which is one of the best features of the property, and is perfect for kids to have a great run around! There is comfortable outdoor dining/seating furniture, with a parasol & stand, and gas Weber BBQ available. Parking is behind the cottage, with 2 dedicated parking spaces. To the front of the cottage there is a wooded copse within which a magnificently constructed treehouse play area has been created for children to play on. The area is quiet and safe for children to play in the treehouse. We are available to contact by mobile phone and email at any time The Old Dairy was originally built in 2009, and has been a residential home until 2020, when it was carefully purchased by us, and converted into a high end holiday home. The property has undergone major refurbishment and redecoration to appeal to a select - and niche - segment of visitors to Northumberland, who appreciate quality and refinement. The Old Dairy is as close to a ‘holiday let’ as Roger Federer is to a ‘tennis player’... We only own two properties, and treat them with the utmost love and care. When we travel, we expect the best for ourselves - and as hosts we aspire to provide the best for our guests. Ours is not so much a commercial enterprise, as it is a labour of love. We are doing what we enjoy, and hope you will enjoy your experience with us... Lisa & John
