Harrogate Cottages, Longframlington, Morpeth

The perfect property to realise your dream of living ‘The Good Life’ in the country. We are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous 3 bedroomed end-terrace equestrian home or smallholding. This property, which was formerly two cottages, benefits from a double garage with parking, a garden office, LPG central heating, a composite front door, uPVC windows, good broadband and all the other usual mains connections. In addition, the property boasts equestrian facilities which would equally suit goats, llamas or alpacas, all of which could roam the circa 2 acres to the front of the property and could make use of further rented land to the side if needed. There are three stables, dog kennels and a barn to complete this outstanding facility.

Longframlington has a number of local amenities including an award-winning village shop, a well-known and popular butcher, public houses, The Running Fox café, doctors’ surgery, hairdresser, and Longframlington gardens. The Memorial Hall has lots of activities suitable for all the family, there is a walking club, a dog walking area in the centre of the village and a children’s play area. The village also benefits from good transport links to Morpeth and Newcastle. From Longframlington, Scotland is also very easily accessible.

Entry to this unique home is via the front door into a fully tiled internal hallway with a large cupboard which offers plenty of shelving and hanging space. Stairs lead to the first floor, and the space beneath is useful for storage. A solid wood door opens to the fully tiled ground floor WC which comprises a concealed cistern toilet, a vanity unit with a sink on top, a radiator and a window allowing for natural light.

The lounge is dual aspect with two windows and a composite door opening to the garden. The inglenook fireplace, with a brick hearth and stone mantle, houses a wood burner and forms a lovely focal point. Complemented by the exposed ceiling beams and deep windowsill, this spacious room is brimming with character and charm.

The kitchen-diner offers a good number of solid wood door wall and base units. The kitchen is equipped with an integrated BOSCH microwave, a fully-integrated full-sized dishwasher, an under bench electric hob, a four-burner induction hob beneath a chimney-style extractor fan, and a stainless steel sink sunk into the granite work surface with a drainer cut into the side. The brick-style splash back tiling in different shades of stone complements the work surface and units perfectly. The addition of the stone inglenook fireplace, containing an electric wood burner, is a wonderful feature in keeping with the cottage style radiating from every aspect of this delightful property. Two windows overlook the garden and one looks to the side of the home, all of which allow plenty of natural light to enter, with further lighting by way of spotlights to the ceiling. There is ample space to house a dining table and chairs at the opposite end of the room to the kitchen units.

The utility room leads from the hallway and showcases a fully tiled floor which is practical for country living. There is plumbing and space for a washing machine, further bench space and drawers, and space for another appliance. A window allows natural light to flood in and the LPG gas boiler is housed in this room for ease of access.

Taking the stairs to the first floor the spacious landing opens out to three bedrooms, a storage cupboard, and the family bathroom. The shaped ceiling adds to the cottage character, as each room oozes warmth and comfort.

The primary bedroom is a large double room overlooking the garden and open countryside beyond, creating an idyllic view.

Bedroom 2 is another double and captures views over the garden and far-reaching countryside.

Bedroom 3 is a large single with built-in wardrobes and spotlights above a desk area. The window overlooks the front of the property and takes advantage of the views of the stables and the surrounding fields.

The family bathroom is incredibly spacious and comprises a double-ended white bath with chrome Victorian-style taps, a heritage-style pedestal wash hand basin, a white heated towel rail, a close-coupled toilet and a separate shower cubicle with a tank-fed shower within. A window allows for natural light and there is loft access available. Mainly fully tiled and with wet walling within the shower, this room has a bright and crisp finish.

Externally, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with a path leading to a separate building, previously a garage, which has a uPVC door, electricity and light. This is an ideal outside office space. Additionally, the wooden building adjacent is currently a set of kennels but could be reconfigured depending on your requirements. Within the paddocks, there is hard-standing parking which is easily accessed from the road and would suit a trailer or horsebox. The stable block is made up of 3 12x12 loose boxes and a 12x24 hay barn with mains electricity and water with well fenced paddocks next to it the perfect home equestrian setup. Seeing your horses from the house windows is every horse owners dream. As an end of terrace property there is a walkway to the front and the rear providing access to properties further along the terrace. This equestrian/smallholding is a wonderful place in which to become immersed in country living within the stunning Northumbrian countryside.
