This characterful three-bedroom stone cottage sits on the edge of farmland and woodland, offering open elevated views across the North Tyne valley and Kielder Forest. The house has traditional features — exposed beams, an inglenook stone fireplace and a south-facing lounge — and comes with a gated driveway, walled garden, attached outhouse and an adjoining paddock that runs down to the burn.
The accommodation is straightforward and versatile: a ground-floor bedroom (also suited to dining or studio use), a generous lounge with dining space, kitchen, utility/porch and a separate WC and bathroom. Two spacious first-floor bedrooms offer rural outlooks; built-in alcove storage is provided but the layout would reward modest updating to suit modern living.
Buyers should note a few practical realities: water is from a private supply, drainage is to a septic tank, heating is oil-fired and broadband speeds are very slow. The property is freehold, chain-free and sits in a remote, low-crime hamlet with limited local services — ideal for someone prioritising seclusion, dark-sky stargazing and immediate access to Kielder’s walking and cycling routes. A mining search and standard conveyancing checks are recommended. The other half of this semi-detached pair is currently also for sale.
