This Grade II listed 19th‑century cottage brings authentic period character and modern convenience to a sought‑after village setting. The sitting room centres on an original stone inglenook and woodburning stove; the country kitchen includes an Aga and a stable door opening to pleasant rear views. Two double bedrooms with fitted storage sit above a recently refitted walk‑in double shower and a new gas boiler, making the house ready for day‑to‑day living.
Practical improvements include replacement flat roofs over the rear extension and a useful stone outbuilding for bikes, logs or garden kit. The front garden is enclosed by stone walling and there is direct access to the X18 bus stop a few doors away. Morpeth’s shops and the East Coast Mainline station are a short drive, putting Newcastle and Edinburgh within easy reach for commuting or weekend trips.
Important points to note: the property’s listed status brings planning and maintenance constraints that can complicate alterations and repairs. The EPC rating is E, so energy efficiency improvements may be advisable. The plot is modest in size and parking is not specified, so buyers should check vehicle arrangements.
Chain‑free and full of character, this cottage will appeal to those wanting a rural base within reach of larger centres — ideal as a downsizing home, a weekend escape, or a long‑term countryside residence for buyers comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities.
