PROPERTY
The property is set in a peaceful rural location, five miles from Haydon Bridge and surrounded by the stunning countryside of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Haydon Bridge provides a range of everyday amenities including local shops, pubs, cafés, a pharmacy and both primary and secondary schooling. There are further amenities in Hexham 9 miles away, including a choice of shops, independent retailers and supermarkets, as well as leisure facilities.

The Boundary is a fine detached country house that features characterful accommodation with six bedrooms and far-reaching grounds, with views across the surrounding countryside.

The ground floor has four main reception rooms including the 31ft sitting and dining room, which has an open fireplace and timber beams overhead. Double doors lead to the south-facing conservatory, which welcomes plenty of natural light and affords views across the garden and surrounding hills. There is a comfortable family room with a dual aspect and a useful study, a spacious kitchen which has an Aga and integrated appliances and there is also a disused catering kitchen.

Two separate staircases lead to the first floor, where there are six double bedrooms including the principal bedroom with its dressing room and en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are en suite, while one bedroom has its own washbasin, and the first floor also includes a family bathroom.

The cottage provides useful further accommodation for guests, or for use as a holiday let. It has two en suite bedrooms and an open-plan sitting area with a fully equipped kitchen.
