Large private gardens, garage and refurbishment potential for families or retirees.
- Detached four-bedroom cottage with generous room proportions
- Very large, mature and highly private garden plot
- Detached double garage plus driveway parking
- Oil-fired central heating; domestic hot water via Aga
- Mains water from private supply; shared septic drainage
- EPC rating E; property requires maintenance and modernisation
- Broadband speeds very slow despite excellent mobile signal
- Low crime area in a quiet hamlet with easy A69/Hexham access
Set in a small hamlet with easy access to Hexham and the A69, this detached four-bedroom cottage occupies an unusually large, very private garden plot framed by mature trees and hedging. The house offers well-proportioned living spaces including a generous dual-aspect living room with multi-fuel stove, a long dining kitchen with oil-fired Aga, utility, pantry and conservatory-style access to the grounds — accommodation that suits growing families or those seeking peaceful retirement living.
The grounds are a defining feature: large lawns, productive fruit and vegetable beds, greenhouse, three sheds and a detached double garage. The garden provides scope for landscaping, hobby-gardening or creating a children’s play zone, and the site’s mature planting gives an immediate sense of privacy and seclusion.
Practicalities and drawbacks are straightforward. The property is older (circa 1950–66), described as in need of maintenance and some modernisation; the EPC is currently E. Heating and hot water are oil-fired (incl. oil Aga) and mains water is via a private supply, with shared septic drainage. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal — something to consider for home working. These factors make the house a good candidate for buyers seeking a roomy plot with refurbishment potential rather than a move-in-new home.
In short: a spacious detached home with a standout garden and garage facilities, suited to families, keen gardeners or active retirees willing to upgrade services and carry out reasonable updating. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the plot and potential.
