Character cottage with large garden and annex, ideal for countryside renovators.
Detached Victorian stone cottage on elevated large plot
This detached stone cottage sits on an elevated plot on the edge of Wooler, offering generous garden grounds and long rural views toward the Cheviot Hills. Set over two floors with an independent annex, the house totals about 125 sq metres (circa 1,345 sq ft) and retains strong Victorian character: stone walls, gabled roofs and charming period detail.
The layout provides two principal reception rooms, a kitchen with adjoining utility, two double bedrooms on the first floor and a third bedroom in the detached annex with its own shower room. The annex is useful as overspill accommodation, a home office or short‑let space. The site includes a stone outbuilding for storage and unrestricted on‑street parking adjacent to the property.
Practical realities are clear: the house needs renovation and modernisation throughout. Heating is by electric storage heaters, the walls are assumed uninsulated sandstone/limestone, glazing is double but installation date is unknown, and the property currently holds an EPC rating of E (54). The main bathroom is the only principal bathroom, and internal ceiling heights are described as low in places.
For buyers seeking rural living within walking distance of the Northumberland National Park and local Wooler amenities, the house is a substantial, characterful blank canvas. It will suit buyers wanting to invest time and budget into upgrading heating, insulation and finishes to create a comfortable, energy‑efficient home while retaining period charm.
