Set on Low Hauxley Main Street, Mermaid Cottage is a spacious, characterful detached home offering three bedrooms and about 1,500 sq ft of flexible living. South-facing reception rooms and a 30ft open-plan kitchen/dining room bring light and sea views into daily life, while a ground-floor double bedroom and family bathroom make ground-level living straightforward for multi-generational families or guests. The cottage’s traditional fireplaces, wooden floors and period details give immediate character and warmth.
Externally the plot balances front and rear gardens, gravel driveway parking and a quiet courtyard patio sheltered by mature shrubs. The beach is moments away, perfect for regular seaside walks, family paddling and occasional Northern Lights displays. The location provides village calm yet remains within easy reach of Amble for shops, schools and services, with main road links and Alnmouth station reachable for wider travel.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction: original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack modern insulation and the heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators. Windows have been replaced with double glazing post-2002, but the house will benefit from targeted energy upgrades and ongoing maintenance typical of period homes. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — important considerations for remote working.
This cottage will appeal to families seeking a seaside base with character and generous reception space, or buyers wanting a comfortable coastal home with scope to improve energy efficiency. The property presents genuine seaside lifestyle strengths alongside practical trade-offs — inspect to assess renovation potential and running costs.
