Greenhead, Bank Top, CA8

 ACCOMMODATION

This delightful property provides the perfect blend of period charm and contemporary finishings to create a comfortable and characterful family home with either the benefit of rental income from the annex or the opportunity to provide independent living for family. It sits in a stunning location, on a hill above the small village of Greenhead, bordering both Cumbria and Northumberland.

The main property is a semi-detached three bedroomed stone cottage that has benefitted from being extensively updated by the current owners. The property is entered from a gravel drive into the entrance hallway, where there is a generous boot room with ample storage. From here is the well positioned and sizeable utility room which is fitted with a good range of Shaker style wall and base units, there is also a window, sink and space for white goods. In this area is the three year old Navien oil boiler and consumer unit for the property and Stanegate Cottage. Within the utility room is a ground floor WC.

The utility leads seamlessly into the kitchen which is fitted with a continuation of Shaker style floor and wall mounted units. There is an integrated electric AEG cooker, an LPG gas hob and an extractor fan. There is a free-standing dishwasher and fridge freezer and useful understairs storage cupboard.

The ground floor has attractive laminate wood flooring throughout, that continues into the main living area, creating a lovely flow through the property.

From the kitchen is the central hallway, with access to the first floor, the sunroom and the main living room. The sunroom is a delightful, bright additional sitting room that is also a second entrance into the property from the front patio.

The main living room is sizeable and tasteful. The room features a traditional stone fireplace and log burner, for those cosy winter nights. It is a bright room benefitting from four charming south facing windows, looking out onto the front of the property. This generous space has allowed the current owners to configure the room into three distinct areas; a dining area, office space and a spacious living area.

UPSTAIRS

Upstairs consists of three generous double bedrooms. The master bedroom is dual aspect with walk-in wardrobe. The ensuite has a large corner bath, separate shower, sink and WC. There is also a separate family bathroom with large shower cubicle, sink and WC. The two additional double bedrooms are south facing, filled with light and both have generous fitted wardrobes.

STANEGATE COTTAGE

Stanegate Cottage, originally a cow byre and converted 25 years ago has been considerably updated by the current owners just 3 years ago. It is a separate annexed stone cottage within the grounds of Braeside. It is attractively designed on the ground floor level, offering practical and flexible accommodation, perhaps for an elderly relative or to continue as a profitable holiday let. The property comprises of two double bedrooms, a modern shower room and an open plan kitchen/living room with multi fuel stove. The property offers delightful, extensive views over the golf course and rolling Northumbrian hills beyond.

The boiler in the utility is a Navien combi boiler, purchased in 2023 and under warranty and last serviced Aug 2025. This property benefits from the same Mechanical Heat Recovery System as the main property, maintaining the optimum level of heat and humidity. The property receives internet from the main house. 

SHEPHERDS HUT

The Shepherds Hut is a recent addition and as such in pristine condition. It is beautifully positioned to benefit from the rural views as well as the large private garden. Ideal to relax in after a tiring walk on Hadrian’s Wall, the Pennine Way or maybe even traversing the Coast to Coast cycle route. A great addition for either personal pleasure or as is currently the case, providing additional income as a holiday let. The property receives internet beamed from the main house.

OUTSIDE

Externally Braeside boasts a generous plot of approx. 0.7 acre, cleverly split up into separate areas enjoying different aspects of the garden including a rockery, vegetable plots, a greenhouse, lawn and flower beds. A detached stone double garage is situated on the driveway, superbly equipped, including an inspection pit, power, extensive shelving and windows, making it a really useful space or workshop.

At the Eastern end of the property sits a further extension of the plot which has a separate gated access, gravelled driveway and hardstanding area, overlooking the golf course. All areas benefit from a good level of privacy. This area is prime for development of the Shepherds Hut site, further parking or substantial storage space (all subject to the necessary consents being granted).

BARN

A further stone built barn sits adjacent to the cottage, again overlooking the golf course and providing an exciting prospect to potentially further develop the cottage or even create a new separate space (subject to obtaining the usual relevant consents).
