Settled in the heart of the charming village of Bellingham, amongst the rolling countryside of Northumberland, rests this spectacular three-bedroom holiday home, The Vault House.
Uniquely positioned within a former banking building, renovated to a high-standard whilst maintaining the property's original character, a quirky retreat for six awaits at The Vault House.
Park up on the roadside and marvel at the grand double-fronted exterior of this wonderful holiday home before stepping through the doorway, to begin your fabulous staycation.
Elegant chandeliers adorn the ceiling of the spectacular open-plan living/dining room, where plush velvet sofas and a rustic AGA feature provide a truly lovely spot to enjoy a moment of peace in front of the television following a day of adventure.
Follow the corridor through to the well-designed kitchen, beautifully-adorned with an eye-catching blue Farrow and Ball décor and equipped with a range of helpful amenities, sure to entice any budding chef.
Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together with your loved ones at the dining table to tuck-into the fruits of your labour as you recount the day's adventures or plan your thrilling holiday itinerary.
The first of three bedrooms, a sumptuous double room, benefits from the unique feature of an original vault door, survived from the former bank, whilst a second double and a king-size each benefit from access to their own en-suite, so there's no queues in the morning!
