At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, designed to complement the character of the property, while upstairs four generous bedrooms benefit from spectacular countryside views. The flexible accommodation provides excellent scope for modern family life, with additional rooms currently used as a study and yoga room, while the substantial south-facing rear garden with mature planting and lawned areas further adds to the appeal of the property.

A network of nearby public footpaths provides pleasant countryside walks, while the road outside links directly onto part of the Reivers Cycle Route / National Cycle Network Route 10. Cyclists and horse riders are a familiar sight locally. A bus stop outside the property provides connections towards Newcastle and Hexham.

The internal accommodation comprises: a generously sized open-plan entrance hallway providing a welcoming introduction to the home and access to the principal living accommodation. The property has been extensively improved while retaining a characterful cottage feel. Natural limestone flooring runs through the entrance hall and kitchen/dining area, with engineered oak flooring to the living room and second reception room.

The particularly generous principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and attractive views across neighbouring fields, where cattle and occasionally horses can be seen, while a second bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes.

The newly fitted family bathroom is thoughtfully designed with both a bath and separate wet-room style shower. It looks directly towards the woodland, where local wildlife including deer, squirrels and birds of prey can occasionally be seen. The spacious first-floor landing is flooded with natural light from skylight windows above and is large enough to accommodate a seating or reading area.

The substantial south-facing rear garden offers a private and established setting with lawn, mature trees and planting, hedging and patio areas. The mature landscaping creates a leafy outlook, with glimpses towards the surrounding fields and woodland beyond, while an established apple tree adds further character.
