Large plot, annex and planning permission — character renovation near Hadrian’s Wall.
Planning permission granted to create three bedrooms and add porch
Set on circa 0.64 acres on the edge of Wall, Planetrees Cottage is a stone-built detached bungalow offering a substantial renovation opportunity close to Hadrian’s Wall and five miles north of Hexham. The current single-storey layout already includes a detached, self-contained one-bedroom annex and a range of outbuildings including garage space and a small turnout paddock, useful for flexible household or income uses.
Planning permission is granted to add a single-storey north extension, a porch to the south elevation and insert a first-floor level with rooflights to create a three-bedroom home, so the site is ready for a significant uplift in living space and value. The property benefits from very large grounds, woodland and countryside views; there is excellent mobile signal and easy road access via the A69 and B6318 for commuting.
Buyers should note material constraints: the cottage is listed (Historic England listing 1018581), which will complicate and restrict works; the house requires renovation and likely improvement to insulation, and the EPC is G. Heating is oil-fired with boiler and underfloor heating; broadband speeds are very slow. These are practical issues for buyers planning conversion.
This plot will suit a buyer seeking a character renovation in a peaceful rural setting — a family wanting countryside space, a buyer who values outbuildings and ancillary accommodation, or an investor prepared to manage listed-building requirements. The planning permission and annex provide clear options, but sensitive, budgeted restoration and listed-building consent management will be essential.
