The Property
Tucked into the centre of Humshaugh, a picturesque North Tyne Valley village near Hexham, Belle Vue Cottage is a single-storey stone property that pairs period charm with smart, contemporary finishes. Recently the subject of a full renovation, it now offers a high-quality interior throughout, with every element carefully considered and replaced. It lies just steps from the award-winning, community-run village shop and close to the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site. Set within a welcoming village and with open countryside close by, it offers a refined, low-maintenance base in an exceptionally attractive setting.

Set behind a low stone wall with a neatly planted forecourt, the cottage opens into a compact hallway offering space to hang coats and leave boots. Directly off the hallway, the shower room is immaculately appointed with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and stylish Italian floor tiles.

Beyond, the open-plan kitchen and sitting room is full of light and volume, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a multi-fuel stove set into a traditional stone fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with deep navy shaker cabinetry, pale stone surfaces, and integrated appliances including an induction hob, built-in AEG oven, undercounter Bosch fridge and separate freezer, and a slimline dishwasher. A breakfast bar provides informal seating, while a glazed door opens onto the private rear yard. A skylight above the kitchen enhances the natural brightness and creates a subtle focal point overhead.

The double bedroom is beautifully appointed, with high ceilings, a cast iron fireplace, bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, and a deep-set window with village views. The soft tones and architectural detailing lend the room a peaceful, restorative feel.

Externally
The cottage benefits from a neatly landscaped forecourt garden and a stone-flagged rear yard, accessed from the kitchen. This sheltered space is ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks.
