Summary - Hopefoot Cottage, Otterburn, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE19 NE19 1NX
4 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Spacious rural home with large gardens, outbuildings and polytunnel.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms across three storeys, 1,916 sq ft
Set on a large plot in the Northumberland National Park, Hopefoot Cottage is a spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom end-of-terrace with strong period character and far-reaching rural views. The property totals about 1,916 sq ft across three storeys and includes substantial outbuildings, a double garage, carport, greenhouse and polytunnel—ideal for anyone who wants space for vehicles, hobbies or productive gardening.
The house requires modernisation throughout, offering a blank canvas for a family or buyer wanting to add value. Key systems are dated: the main heating runs on an LPG boiler, walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and broadband speeds are slow. There is double glazing installed after 2002, a working Rayburn that provides heating and hot water, and a wood-burning stove connected to the hot water system.
Internally the layout is practical for family life — an open-plan sitting room and dining room, conservatory overlooking the rear garden, kitchen with two islands, four bedrooms (one on the top floor currently used as a study) and two bathrooms. The large garden is split into vegetable beds and an enclosed area formerly used as a chicken run; numerous sheds and a greenhouse/polytunnel suit keen gardeners but will need attention due to general neglect.
Location is a major draw: quiet village life in Otterburn with good walking, cycling and wildlife on the doorstep, a small primary school rated Good, and road links to Newcastle, Hexham and the Borders. Practical points to check before viewing include tenure details, the need for insulation and possible upgrade works to heating and utilities. This house will appeal to families or buyers seeking rural space and scope to personalise rather than to those seeking a turnkey home.
