Bridge End Cottages, Corbridge, Northumberland

In the heart of Corbridge, a thriving and historic village that sits on the River Tyne, is this traditional 1877 stone-built end of terrace cottage, which benefits from lovely views over the bridge and River Tyne.

Beautifully renovated and presented by the current owners, with deceptively spacious accommodation, the property has retained many period features which are blended with modern facilities, including new double glazed sash windows and stylish interior wood doors with etched glass panels.
Adjacent to the front door is a well maintained hedge, which attractively frames the sash window, and to the side of the cottages is a charming cobbled pathway that leads up to the main village high street.

GROUND FLOOR-

The front door opens into a small lobby with carpeted stairs to the first floor, with a door leading through to the living room with carpeted flooring and fitted understairs shelving and a storage cupboard. The centre piece of this room is the beautiful Inglenook fireplace with a cast iron enclosed wood fire, sitting on a stone hearth with a stone surround and a wood mantel above (A log burner could be installed if required).

From the living room access leads through to the superb kitchen, which overlooks the delightful courtyard garden at the rear. The kitchen benefits from a range of cabinets with wood work tops and upstands, a stainless steel one-and-a-half bowl sink with contemporary mixer tap, a built-in oven with electric hob and extractor hood above, and a built-in fridge/freezer. A fabulous feature of the kitchen is the alcove with a fitted breakfast bar big enough to seat two people, ideal for morning coffee. A tall cupboard houses the new boiler, as well as there being space and plumbing for a washing machine. There is also a 50/50 split stable door with a glass panel above, giving access to the rear courtyard.

FIRST FLOOR-

The stairs then lead up to the first floor and onto the impressive second bedroom, a wonderfully bright room with skylights and cottage style windows.

The village offers residents a nice range of local shops, amenities, pubs and eateries, while the town of Hexham to the east and the city of Newcastle to the west provide a wider choice of shopping outlets and recreational amenities, private and state schools, as well as the hospitals. There are also plenty of transport links within a few miles, including the A1 and A69, which lead to other major cities and the motorway, along with Newcastle International Airport.
