Situation:

The property forms part of a former farm steading, converted in recent years to create several individual and characterful rural properties with a mixture of owner occupiers and holiday homes. This small bespoke development takes full advantage of its beautiful rural position in the stunning Northumberland countryside with far-reaching views over rolling countryside. The cottage is close to the Heritage Northumberland coastline and famous Holy Island. Other areas of historical interest in the region include Bamburgh and Bamburgh Castle, the Farne Isles, Dunstanburgh Castle, and so much more. The nearest town is England’s most northerly market town which is Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is a historical fortified walled town, with a wide range of amenities such as national and local shopping facilities and businesses, schooling for all ages, as well as a private school, Longridge Towers, a variety of Sports Clubs and Leisure facilities and five national supermarkets. This large town also has a mainline railway station which links to both Newcastle and Edinburgh within circa 45 minutes and has the A1 running straight past, making this region a popular commuting destination, whilst being able to make the most of its beautiful scenery and rugged coastline landscapes. To the south is the historic town of Alnwick, this popular market town with the famous Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Gardens, also offers a wide range of amenities whilst inland is the county town of Wooler. North Northumberland is a popular destination for those looking for a full-time home which offers great value for money as well as a wonderful lifestyle opportunity, or those looking for second homes, holiday retreats, or even investment property. This is also a popular holiday destination, with so much on offer in the locality either side of the border.

Description

Originally a farm steading, this attractive stone property was converted to create delightful rural homes retaining much character and charm, including windows incorporated into the old stone arches and the original dovecot over the main coach arch. 5 The Steading offers buyers the opportunity of acquiring a property in turn-key condition, beautifully presented throughout to a high standard, included solid oak flooring. The cottage is currently a successful holiday let and a new owner could begin generating income immediately after purchase, or the property would make a lovely permanent home or private holiday escape. Directly outside the cottage is off-street parking for three cars. The front door opens into a welcoming vestibule which in turn opens into a hall. The sitting room is a generous reception with a large window affording beautiful country views. The room is double height with exposed beams and has a door leading out to the rear garden. The kitchen-dining room is another light and bright space with fitted floor and wall mounted units with counters over. Integral appliances include a double oven, hob with extractor over, fridge and freezer, washing machine and dish washer. There are three double bedrooms serviced by two well-appointed contemporary bathrooms.

Outside

The cottage benefits from two private parking spaces immediately to the front of the property and a delightful private rear garden which has been beautifully landscaped and incorporates a large cover terrace, perfect for entertaining in all weathers and ideal for a hot tub.
