Two stone homes with rental income, large gardens and parking moments from the beach.
Two stone-built cottages sold as one freehold lot
A rare opportunity to buy two stone-built period homes in Longhoughton, offered as one freehold lot. Both properties sit on a generous plot with attractive cottage gardens, off-street parking and easy walking access to the beach, shop and café — making them well suited to a mix of owner-occupation plus income, or pure investment as holiday lets.
The homes retain a wealth of character: exposed stone walls, inglenook fireplaces (one with a wood burner), high/vaulted ceilings and traditional fittings. Practical comforts include mains gas heating with radiators and underfloor heating in the primary house, double glazing, fibre broadband and a recently-updated kitchen in the holiday-let unit. One cottage currently trades successfully as a holiday let while the other is the principal residence, giving immediate rental potential.
Buyers should note these cottages are small in overall floor area (approx. 762 sq ft combined) and constructed of traditional stone with assumed no wall insulation; further thermal upgrades may be desirable. EPCs are D and C respectively. Although the homes are well presented, purchasers should allow budget for ongoing maintenance and any modernisation they might want to undertake. Services and fixtures have not been independently tested and measurements are for guidance.
In short: genuine coastal-location appeal, immediate rental history and strong character, balanced by modest internal space and scope for energy-efficiency improvements. The pair will suit investors seeking a turnover-producing asset or buyers wanting a home with ancillary income in a peaceful Northumberland village.
