Rose Cottage is a picture-postcard single-storey bungalow set on a generous plot in the southern uplands, close to the Scottish border. The detached granite-built cottage offers a double bedroom, cosy living room, compact kitchen and shower room, all arranged for easy, single-floor living. Countryside views and proximity to Border Forest Park, Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest Park make this an appealing rural retreat.
The house retains traditional character but requires updating — the living room fireplace and finishes are dated, walls are likely uninsulated and some refurbishment is expected. Heating is via a community biomass scheme and drainage is to a septic tank; purchasers should note no formal checks on the septic system have been carried out and any required upgrades are the buyer’s responsibility. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average.
The large plot gives scope for garden enjoyment and potential development, subject to planning consent. Parking is on-street only. This is a small (approx. 418 sq ft) property suited to someone seeking a quiet, low-density rural home or a downsizer wanting single-floor accommodation with countryside space and future improvement potential.
Practical considerations are straightforward: mains electric and water are connected but none of the services or heating appliances have been tested. The location is remote with low crime, limited local services and a nearby primary school; secondary education and market towns are accessible by road. Buy with eyes open to renovation needs and the responsibilities that come with rural utilities and septic drainage.
