A substantial Grade II listed stone cottage set across four floors in the quiet hamlet of Carrshield. The house offers generous living space (approximately 2,725 sq ft), two reception rooms, four bedrooms and panoramic countryside views — ideal for buyers seeking character and space in a rural setting.
The property retains period features such as sash-style windows, original wood flooring and a traditional fireplace, which give strong character and charm. It sits on a decent plot and benefits from fast broadband and very low local crime, with Hexham within driving distance for wider amenities.
Buyers should be aware of the listed status: repairs, alterations and insulation work will require Listed Building consent and could be costly. The walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone and most rooms rely on portable electric heaters; the property uses dual fuels (mineral and wood). These factors mean running costs and retrofit work are likely to be needed.
This cottage will suit a family or buyer who values historic character and panoramic rural views and is prepared to invest in sympathetic updating. With good-sized rooms and renovation potential, it could become a comfortable long-term home but is not a turnkey modern property.
