Move in for Christmas to this recently refurbished 2-bedroom stone cottage in quiet Whittingham, set within a valley close to the National Park. The house offers genuine country living with a front cottage garden, a sunny paved rear garden and an outbuilding with French doors and adjoining greenhouse — ideal as a studio or summer room. The layout feels larger than it looks, with a sociable kitchen-diner, a cosy lounge with multi-fuel burner and a generous principal bedroom with en-suite.
Practical updates include a substantial re-wire, underfloor heating in the kitchen-diner and partial double glazing. The property is sold chain free with off-street parking and mains services connected. The elevated position and deep window sills make the rooms bright and welcoming, while the restored fireplace and exposed beams retain strong period character.
Buyers should note running-cost and efficiency issues: the EPC is F, main heating is electric (room heaters) and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. The village is rural and relatively remote — local shops are limited and the area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators compared with urban centres. Regular buses link to Morpeth, Alnwick and Newcastle for wider amenities.
This cottage will suit those seeking a characterful country home or a weekend escape with ready-to-use accommodation and scope to improve energy performance over time. The combination of gardens, studio space and recently completed refurbishment makes it an attractive proposition for buyers prepared to accept the home’s rural trade-offs.
