Set in a peaceful village on the edge of the North Pennines National Landscape, this two-bedroom stone cottage combines traditional character with outstanding open-country views. The bright living room centres on a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, while the adjoining kitchen/diner gives a sociable, practical layout. The property is offered freehold and with no onward chain, making it straightforward to purchase.
Upstairs houses two comfortable bedrooms and a modern bathroom with bath and overhead shower. A low-maintenance paved rear garden opens onto uninterrupted countryside vistas — an easy outdoor space for relaxing or al fresco dining. The home is an average-sized, traditional layout (approximately 839 sq ft) suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or as a holiday-let investment.
Practical considerations: the cottage sits in a remote village with average mobile and broadband speeds and a generally ageing rural demographic. Local services and choices are limited compared with urban areas, and the property occupies a small plot. These factors suit buyers prioritising tranquillity and rural views over proximity to city amenities. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
This is a straightforward, characterful property that will appeal to buyers seeking a peaceful base in the North Pennines. It offers immediate liveability with scope to personalise interior finishes, and good potential for short-term holiday lettings given the location and views.
