If you like homes with bags of character, you’ll love this striking apartment. Spanning the penthouse floor of a converted 18th-century chapel, this home effortlessly combines style with practicality. Not only is the apartment beautiful, but it’s also fantastically located in the heart of a Northumberland gem, Berwick-upon-Tweed. We love the combination of sleek, contemporary interiors with the original wooden beams, a nod to the home’s 18th-century past. The Scandi-cool vibes are not accidental – your host spends half the year in Sweden, which becomes clear through the minimalist yet stylish design. It might be chic, but it’s a wonderfully homely and sociable space. You’ll love preparing food together in the large kitchen – listening to music, drinking wine, chopping on the breakfast bar or setting the table. It’s the perfect place for group getaways. When you want to explore, you’re a short walk from Burwick-upon-Tweed’s town centre. Discover the town’s inspiring galleries, take walks along the river, or head to the beach for a sunny afternoon. In the evenings, settle into a cosy pub for a heartwarming meal before catching a show at the local theatre. Then, make your way home to end the night with a light-hearted film on the... smart TV with a warming hot chocolate.

About The Northumberland Coast
Right at the top of England, Northumberland’s great expanse is dotted with medieval strongholds that have seen many a bloody battle. A landscape rich with history, you can explore the crumbling ruins of clifftop castles or tour restored and retained masterpieces at Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle. Fishing villages punctuate the sweeps of undiscovered beaches along the coastline. Tangles of lobster pots sit on old stone harbours while boats trundle...
