The Property
A hugely appealing stone-built property, converted and extended to create a gorgeous three bedroom home in magnificent rural surroundings. The internal finish is exceptional, with elegant and tasteful décor that highlight the character of the cottage. Dual aspect views roll away, stretching across beautiful unspoiled countryside. Lovely gardens wrap around the property to make the most of the panorama. Nestled just outside Northumberland National Park, there are stunning walks from the doorstep, and the magical Northumberland Coast is also within easy reach.
A stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living area is perfect for modern living requirements and will be at the heart of family life. The vaulted ceiling and large arched windows ensure a light, airy room with wonderful open views. The exposed stone, brick fireplace with wood burning stove and country cottage kitchen with range cooker create a warm and welcoming traditional feel. A spacious room at the end of the living area is ideal as a study, play room or snug and there is a convenient downstairs WC and shower room off the kitchen. A hallway leads to the charming principal bedroom with smart en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom is accessed through the large and well-equipped utility room that could also double as a kitchenette with a sink, space for a cooker, tall fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A sitting room with exposed stone and a wood burning stove makes for a cosy snug and a spacious rear porch could double up as a garden room to sit in and enjoy the views.
From the hall, a staircase leads up to the first floor and a delightful mezzanine landing. Two light, bright eaves bedrooms with built-in storage provide ample further sleeping or living arrangements.
Planning permission is in place (Northumberland County Council planning ref.20/03113/FUL) for an extension to the sitting room and the principal bedroom.
Externally
The metal hanging sign at the bottom of the driveway, in keeping with the name of the property is a wonderful introduction to the house. There is ample driveway parking and a car port and wood store with studio/office space above and solar panels across the roof. A stone outbuilding provides additional storage with plumbing and a sink area. There is a further separate building containing a kitchen/utility room, a Swedish sauna and shower, and a dog kennel and run. Lawns of rolling grass and graveled seating areas provide unlimited spots from which to enjoy the panoramic unspoiled countryside views. The property extends to approximately 0.5 acres in total.
