THE PROPERTY
High Carriteth occupies a commanding position inside the beautiful Northumberland National Park. The house and range of handsome traditional outbuildings form a sheltered and private courtyard. There is lawned garden on the north and east sides of the house.

The front door gives into a lobby and central hallway, off which are two good reception rooms, each with high ceilings and one with a log burning stove. The impressive staircase rises from the hall to a landing on the first floor and beyond this is the striking farmhouse kitchen with appealing kitchen units and rear hall, off which is a storeroom and a wet room/W.C.
