Nestled in the peaceful village of Fenwick on the Northumberland coast, Schoolhouse Fenwick is a thoughtfully designed, fully accessible holiday cottage offering a warm and inclusive escape for families, carers and guests with complex mobility needs. This four‑bedroom former school building blends bright, contemporary interiors with far‑reaching countryside views, all within easy reach of Holy Island, Bamburgh and Alnwick.

Step inside to a welcoming south‑facing lounge where large windows frame rural scenery, complemented by soft seating and a cosy log‑burning stove. The open‑plan kitchen and dining area provides generous space for cooking and gathering, with free‑standing seating and level access leading out to the garden. A snug offers an additional quiet spot to relax or take in the view of the private rear garden.

The ground floor is designed for complete accessibility. A spacious accessible bedroom features an electric profiling bed and an H‑track ceiling hoist, which runs directly into the adjoining wet room. Here you’ll find a roll‑in shower, adjustable‑height changing bench, wheel‑under basin and a choice of appropriate shower seating. The layout can be reconfigured depending on individual needs, making this suite particularly suitable for guests with higher care requirements.

Upstairs you’ll find three further bedrooms: a double with its own en‑suite shower room, a comfortable twin, and a single room furnished with a queen‑sized bed. A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor, equipped with both a bath and a separate shower.

Outside, the enclosed garden offers a peaceful, secure space to unwind, with a level patio for dining outdoors, a gently ramped path to the upper lawn, and a summerhouse with threshold access. Enjoy views towards Kyloe Woods and the surrounding countryside throughout the day.

With off‑street parking for one WAV and an additional car, and with Changing Places facilities, accessible beaches and wheelchair‑friendly attractions all close by, Schoolhouse Fenwick is perfectly placed for a restorative and memorable break on the Northumberland Coast.
