Characterful three-bed cottage with garage and easy-maintenance gardens, three miles from Wooler.
Stone-built 3-bed cottage in converted steading
This stone-built three-bedroom cottage sits within a converted steading in small Doddington Mill, about three miles north of Wooler. The interior blends period charm — beamed ceilings and fitted wardrobes — with ready-to-move-in condition: a spacious dual-aspect lounge/diner, shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances and a modern four-piece bathroom. The property comes with a single garage and courtyard parking, plus small, low-maintenance front and rear gardens.
Practical aspects are straightforward: full double glazing, LPG-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, and mains electric and water. Drainage is to a private sewage treatment plant. Energy rating E and stone walls likely without cavity insulation are realities that buyers should factor into running costs and any improvement plans.
The cottage will suit families or downsizers looking for a quiet rural base with good access to Wooler’s shops, schools and outdoor pursuits in the Cheviots. It also offers immediate rental potential for holiday or longer-term lets, though LPG heating, the E rating and small plot size will influence yields and future renovation budgets.
Notable negatives are clear: a historic build (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated stone walls, an E energy rating, and LPG (bulk-gas) heating rather than mains gas — all of which may lead to higher running costs. The location is peaceful and rural, but services such as the nearest hospital and some larger amenities are some miles away.
