Norham (Yarrow) Cottage is a modern two-bedroom stone cottage offered as 50% shared ownership, priced at £167,500 for the initial share (up to 75% available). The home sits on a private cul-de-sac in South Charlton, five miles from Alnwick and close to the Northumberland coast. The ground floor is open-plan with a fitted kitchen and breakfast bar, spacious living room with village-church views, a downstairs bedroom and a shower WC — practical for flexible living or multigenerational use.
The property is designed for low running costs and comfort: double glazing, an air-source heat pump and an EPC rating of B. Interiors use contemporary finishes — Silestone worktops, oak-style doors and modern sanitaryware — so the home feels turnkey. Outside there are gardens to the front and side plus two off-street parking spaces, and the building’s stone and slate exterior suits the rural setting.
Buyers should note material tenure and cost details: this is a leasehold shared ownership home (125-year lease from 2024). Monthly rent on the unsold share is around £390, plus a service charge of £750 per year and a lease management charge of £26.42 per month. Heating fuel is LPG with a boiler and radiators, supplemented by the air-source heat pump. The property was constructed in the 1980s and some installations (glazing install date) are unspecified.
This cottage will suit first-time buyers or those seeking lower-entry ownership in a desirable rural location. It offers immediate availability to view and the potential to stair‑case to a larger share later. The village location is quiet with low crime and fast broadband, but purchasers who need entirely gas-networked heating or full ownership should factor in the ongoing rent and leasehold costs.
