Renovated period cottage with sunny gardens and studio, ideal for country living..
Deceptively spacious 2-bed period stone cottage, circa 990 sq ft
This attractive two-bedroom stone cottage occupies an elevated, quiet position in the small Northumberland hamlet of Whittingham. Recently renovated, the house combines period character—exposed beams, a restored fireplace and deep-silled windows—with practical updates including a substantial re-wire, underfloor heating in the kitchen-diner and double glazing to parts of the property. A sunny, landscaped rear garden, versatile outbuilding/studio and off-street parking add useful outdoor living and storage options.
The layout suits family life or a couple seeking countryside space: a sociable kitchen-diner with a Belling range cooker and stable door to the garden, a cosy lounge with multi-fuel burner, two double bedrooms and a modern fitted bathroom and ensuite. Local amenities are limited in the village but good primary schools are nearby, and Alnwick is about 7.5 miles away for wider shops and services. Mobile signal is excellent and travel along the A697 links to Newcastle and Edinburgh.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property uses electric heating (room heaters and electric systems) and the main fuel is electricity; the walls are traditional stone likely without modern cavity insulation; EPC rating is F. The cottage sits in an area with above-average crime statistics and higher local deprivation indices, which some buyers may factor into location choice. The house is offered freehold and council tax band is C.
