Description

An exciting opportunity to purchase a detached stone cottage in the small rural hamlet of Wandylaw, Northumberland, located with easy access to the A1, just over nine miles from the historic market town of Alnwick and around one mile west of Ellingham. With exceptional views over open fields extending towards the coastline, the property enjoys distant outlooks to iconic landmarks including Lindisfarne Castle, Bamburgh Castle, and the Farne Islands. Surrounded by a stone-walled garden, this characterful property represents a renovation opportunity with considerable scope.

The accommodation comprises two double bedrooms offering views over the gardens. The spacious open-plan living and dining area features a large inglenook fireplace with a stove, and further views across the grounds. The kitchen windows perfectly frame the outstanding views towards the coast, adding to the appeal for those looking for countryside tranquillity. There are two bathrooms, a reception hall that provides a seating area, a shower room, and a separate bathroom with plumbing for a washing machine - also serving as a utility area.

Parking is available on site. Countryside lovers will appreciate being able to walk straight out to Wandylaw Moor, as well as the beautiful Northumberland National Park and stunning coastline on the doorstep. Alnwick is easily reached by car, offering amenities including supermarkets, independent cafés, shops, and reputable schools. The mainline train station at Alnmouth, located approximately 13 miles away, provides regular services to Newcastle, Edinburgh and beyond, supporting both commuting and leisure travel.

This listing will appeal to investors, families, or those seeking a second home or holiday-let investment. There is no onward chain.ACCOMMODATION
