A rare opportunity in Harbottle: two stone-built period cottages sold together on about a third of an acre. Set in the Coquet Valley within Northumberland National Park surrounds, the pair offer scope to retain two homes or, subject to consents, combine into one substantial detached house of approximately 2,300 sq ft. Mature gardens, stone outbuildings and a generous driveway add immediate outdoor and storage value.
Both cottages require full modernisation and present clear renovation potential. Current heating is electric room heaters, and wall insulation is assumed absent in the original stone construction. EPC ratings are E (Honeysuckle) and F (Wayside), and the properties will need upgrading to meet modern energy and comfort expectations.
Accommodation is flexible: Wayside Cottage provides multiple reception rooms, utility, WC, four bedrooms and two bathrooms; Honeysuckle offers two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. The layout and size suit a buyer seeking a substantial family home, a sympathetic restoration project, or an investor prepared to manage improvement works and planning for amalgamation.
Practical considerations: the location is remote with average mobile signal and fast broadband, low flood risk, but the area records above-average crime and local deprivation measures. Council tax bands differ between the cottages (Band D and Band B). Buyers should budget for significant refurbishment, potential planning consents, and electrical/heating upgrades.
