The Property
Mount Pleasant Cottage is a detached, part-Edwardian stone cottage on the edge of Corbridge, once a cottage and stable, now a distinctive and welcoming home. Set above the Tyne Valley with uninterrupted countryside views, it stands within about 1.53 acres of private gardens and grounds, secluded yet within walking distance of the village.

The entrance hall on the ground floor provides a bright and characterful welcome, featuring an exposed stone wall, painted panelling and an open staircase rising to the main living level. This lower floor includes a practical WC, a generous utility room, store room and a versatile double bedroom with exposed ceiling beams, ideal for guests, multi-generational living or could easily serve as an office for home working.

The main living spaces are on the first floor. A broad landing leads to an elegant dining room and an adjoining sitting room with a bay window, stone fireplace and fitted bookcases. The dining room also has a fireplace and multi-fuel stove, and benefits from a secondary entrance at road level. The kitchen and breakfast room forms the heart of the home, with a four-oven electric Aga, integrated appliances, bespoke painted cabinetry and stone worktops. Double doors open to a balcony, well sized for alfresco dining, with long views over the valley.

Three double bedrooms sit on this level, including a garden facing principal with en suite, while another bedroom has a spiral stair to a converted attic room, ideal as a private study or occasional sleeping area. The family bathroom is presented in a soft, neutral palette with classic fittings and a quietly modern feel.

Externally
Approached by a private drive, the grounds combine landscaped areas, broad lawns, mature trees and seating spots to enjoy the views. A stone-paved terrace suits outdoor dining and an Edwardian timber summerhouse offers an enchanting setting for gatherings. There is substantial garaging and stores, plus ample driveway parking.

Planning permission is in place for a two-storey rear addition to the main house, and for conversion of the second garage and store into an independent dwelling with parking and amenity space, giving clear scope to expand or create ancillary accommodation as needed.
