Commanding panoramic views across Craster Harbour and out to the ever-changing sea, this exceptional four-bedroom home occupies one of the most desirable locations in the region. Nestled in the much-loved fishing village of Craster on the Northumberland coast, this rare coastal retreat captures the very essence of seaside living, with the added luxury of a remarkable 0.25-acre garden.
Spread across three beautifully presented and light-filled floors, the home is designed to make the most of its extraordinary setting, with sweeping vistas from nearly every room. Whether you're soaking up the sunrise over the water, watching boats heading out for their daily catch and the seagulls go about their day, the house offers an ever-shifting coastal canvas in every season. If you're lucky, you might even spot dolphins playing just beyond the harbour wall.
Just a short walk away is The Jolly Fisherman, one of Northumberland’s best-loved pubs, where you can enjoy fresh seafood with unbeatable sea views. Craster is famously home to the iconic Craster Kippers and offers access to one of the UK’s finest coastal walks—across the cliffs to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle and onward to the sweeping sands of Embleton Bay.
Whether you're seeking a permanent home, a holiday hideaway, or an investment in Northumberland's thriving coastal staycation market, this property represents a rare and very special opportunity.
Harbour Lights is more than just a home—it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in a true coastal way of life.

The home opens with a welcoming entrance hall leading into a bright sunroom/snug, with dual-aspect views of the sea and harbour—perfect for quiet reading or relaxed evenings. A stylish downstairs WC is conveniently located off this space.
The heart of the home lies in the exceptional open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. The living area, complete with a wood-burning stove, offers a cosy retreat, ideal for winter evenings. Flowing seamlessly from the living area, the dining area is perfect for dining with family and friends, whilst watching the incredible seas beyond the window. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is extremely well equipped with quality neff appliances, a central island with breakfast bar, and a kitchen nook with arguably the best view in the village. A door opens out onto a raised sun terrace with a glass balcony—an idyllic spot for morning coffee or sundown drinks.

One of the standout features of this home is its extraordinary garden—private, mature, and colourful through the seasons. This rare expanse offers space for entertaining, children’s play, or simply enjoying the sounds of the sea. The delightful patio at the front provides lovely views over the garden. To the rear, a sun terrace is the perfect spot for morning coffee, watching the fishing boats set out to sea, and spotting dolphins swimming beyond the harbour. A path leads down to the generously sized garage and a private driveway at the front provides ample off-street parking.
Location:
Craster is a traditional fishing village, steeped in character and charm, situated on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Known for its smoked kippers and picturesque harbour, Craster remains an authentic and peaceful spot that feels untouched by time. The village and surrounding area are alive with natural beauty, history, and community—offering fantastic walking, wonderful dining, and proximity to numerous castles, heritage sites, and sandy beaches.
From the doorstep, a stunning coastal path takes you along dramatic cliff tops to Dunstanburgh Castle and beyond to golden beaches at Embleton and Low Newton. The surrounding region offers a wealth of things to explore—from Alnwick Castle and Gardens, just 15 minutes away, to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne further up the coast.
With its clean air, expansive skies, and unspoilt seascapes, the Northumberland Coast is both tranquil and invigorating—ideal for walkers, wildlife lovers and anyone seeking a slower, richer way of life. Despite the sense of seclusion, transport links by road, or rail from Alnmouth Station, to Newcastle, Edinburgh and the wider UK are within easy reach, making Craster a practical base as well as a picturesque retreat.
