Grade II listed stone cottage with inglenook fireplace and French doors
Single-storey layout with two bedrooms and wet-room style shower

Off-street parking within the plot adjacent to the Pele Tower
EPC rating F; electric radiators — expect energy upgrades
Listed status and conservation area restrict alterations

Higher local crime rate and noted area deprivation
Set within a picturesque Northumberland village, this Grade II listed stone cottage offers single-storey living and a substantial private garden. The lounge with an inglenook fireplace and French doors provides a cosy focal point and attractive views over the surrounding countryside. Both bedrooms and the kitchen face the garden, emphasising the property’s peaceful, elevated aspect.
Practical features include off-street parking, mains services and a wet-room style shower, making the layout suitable for downsizers seeking one-level accommodation. The plot is unusually large for the village and presents scope for landscaping or garden-led projects, subject to listed-building and conservation-area restrictions.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed and in a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and may complicate consent for works. Heating is by electric radiators and the EPC is F, so energy efficiency improvements are likely needed. A mining search is recommended for the region. The cottage is presented with period charm but will suit someone prepared to manage ongoing maintenance and listed-property responsibilities.
