A rare two‑cottage offering in Netherton Burnfoot, this mid‑terrace three‑bed cottage and adjacent one‑bed Outhouse sit on a large plot with private parking and south‑facing garden. The Outhouse is already trading as a highly rated holiday let, giving immediate income potential while the main cottage offers family accommodation or additional lettable rooms. Both buildings retain traditional stone character and have double glazing and oil central heating.
The site suits an investor seeking a holiday‑let plus owner‑occupied combination, or a buyer looking for multi‑generational living. The long garden, separate potting shed and habitable garden pod increase appeal for guests and families. The location near the Northumberland National Park and walking routes supports good seasonal demand for short stays.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: both cottages rely on oil‑fired heating, the original stone walls appear uninsulated, broadband speeds are slow and the area records above‑average crime. The buildings are historic and may need targeted refurbishment or insulation works to improve energy efficiency and running costs. Access to services is rural — Newcastle is under an hour by car but daily amenities are limited locally.
Overall this is a versatile, characterful pair of cottages with proven holiday‑let credentials and scope to add value through improvement works and modernisation. The combination of immediate income and future refurbishment potential will suit investors and buyers comfortable with rural property maintenance.
