With a history dating back to the 1800's Fenham Mill is a magnificent stone-built period home, set in a breathtaking position on the Northumberland coastline, with views across to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and Bamburgh; 2 castles in one vista. The property provides up to five bedrooms and almost 3,500 square feet of flexible accommodation, with a variety of period features and the most spectacular coastal views out to sea.

The main reception rooms are on the first floor, where the 38ft sitting area, dining area and library have a splendid vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and a triple aspect, providing picture-perfect views views across the protected nature reserve and all the way to Holy Island. The room has exposed stone walls and a stylish 1960's wood burning stove ideally situated in the centre of the sitting area. On to the kitchen, with its attractive wooden units, Belfast sink, integrated appliances and Aga. There is ample space for a kitchen table and chairs which offers an informal eating space. Whilst adjoining the kitchen there is an impressively spacious, light and airy conservatory with outstanding panoramic views across the extraordinary surroundings. From here take the stairs just off the hallway to the study room which could be used as a fifth bedroom if required. There is a further bedroom with en-suite on the second floor accessed via a spiral staircase. This boasts traditional beams and an impressive Velux balcony window with breathtaking views.

The main entrance is on the ground floor where there is a large open hallway leading to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has its own unique dressing area and is next to the family bathroom. There are two further ensuite bedrooms, one of which is a very generous double. Also on this floor is a showcase of the original wooden mill machinery and a cosy snug which has uninterrupted views of the sea. The property benefits from a useful utility room and an additional store room which could double up as a wine cellar.

Outside

The property is located at the very end of a lane within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the Lindisfarne Nature Reserve; a remarkable spot for the keen ornithologist. There is a large south facing lawn and established planting, including a sheltered paved terrace for alfresco dining, surrounded by the walls of the former mill pond. On the other side of the property there is a useful slipway leading to the water’s edge for those sailing and kayaking enthusiasts. There is a spacious garage and a garden store which would make an ideal office or studio. A bank of PV solar panels within the garden make the best of the open position. These provide supplementary power to the house as well as generating income from a Feed-In Tarriff (FIT).
