Description

A rare opportunity to buy this historic period cottage which has been under the same family ownership for over 80 years. The property is full of charming character features and is situated in an idyllic rural setting.

A small entrance lobby greets you from the front door giving access to the staircase to first floor and door through to the lounge.

The lounge is a spacious room with large alcove beneath the stairs and large stone inglenook feature fireplace. This is a south facing room with space for lounging and dining furniture.

The kitchen is off the lounge to the rear, generous in size with a window out to the courtyard.

Off the kitchen are two doors, one to the rear porch/utility and a second through to the bathroom at the very rear of the property offering a separate self-contained WC with linen cupboard.

Off the lounge, to the side, is the ground floor bedroom with south facing window, built-in wardrobes and space for full bedroom furniture set. This room would make an ideal dining room or studio also.

Following the stairs up from the entrance lobby, brings you to the first of the upstairs bedrooms. A very spacious room with two alcoves, ideal for storage options.

A door from this room leads through to the second bedroom, again offering lots of space and a west facing window looking over the adjoining garden and paddock.
Externally this cottage offers its own attached stone outhouse which currently houses the new central heating boiler as well as offering space for garden equipment. There is also an additional tin garden store/shed. The gardens are walled and private and views across the open farmland are enjoyed to the south.

A single garage is located in the nearest corner of the paddock with grassed access from the farm track. The garage would benefit from renovation.

This cottage really is a gem offering peaceful rural life with green views and private outside space.

Viewings are strongly recommended to appreciate the location, space and lifestyle on offer. Worth noting, the other half of this semi-detached cottage is also available for sale.

Smalesmouth is ideally situated in the Northumberland National Park. The nearby village of Falstone is a popular destination offering a community garden, play area, riverside walk, pubs, and a tearoom. 

A short drive up the Upper Tyne Valley brings you to Kielder Water renowned for a wide range of outdoor activities, including walking, cycling, angling and water sports. There are numerous places to relax and explore, including Kielder Waterside Park and Kielder Castle. 
Famed for the darkest night skies in England thanks to minimal light pollution, Kielder Water & Forest Park is a star gazer’s heaven having gained Dark Sky Park Status and is home to the Kielder Observatory. To the east of Smalesmouth is the historic market town of Bellingham. About 15 minutes by car, it is convenient for groceries, further hospitality options, schooling and leisure facilities.
