This substantial two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Melkridge offers unexpectedly generous space across 1,316 sq ft, including a completed loft conversion that provides two additional usable rooms. The property sits on a very large plot with an enclosed rear yard and off-street parking — rare for a hamlet setting — and benefits from solid traditional character such as stone façade and period features.
Heating is by dual fuel (boiler and solid fuel fire), and the house has double glazing; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so there is scope to improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and there is a single family bathroom, which are practical considerations for modern living but manageable for first-time buyers or small families seeking rural space.
Transport connections are surprisingly good for a remoter settlement: easy access to the A69, nearby rail stations at Haltwhistle and Bardon Mill, and an hourly bus on the Newcastle–Carlisle route. Local amenities are limited but include a primary school rated Good and pleasant surrounding countryside with cycle routes and walking opportunities.
This freehold home suits buyers looking for roomy, characterful accommodation in a peaceful location who are willing to make modest energy and connectivity improvements. The property presents clear potential to upgrade and personalise while enjoying low council tax and very low local crime rates.
