2 bed cottage for sale

Mohope, Allen Valley NE47

Located along over a mile into a rural cul-de-sac lane, Raby Cottage occupies a delightful elevated position, taking advantage of the open rural views of rolling Allen Valley hillsides, twisting rivers, farmland and moorland.

This detached cottage has been recently extended offering a perfect blend of original character features and modern additions. Everything from Inglenook fireplaces to full-width bi-folding doors.

The property is entered via the rear door from the parking area into the utility and boot room offering space for cloaks as well as plumbing for all white goods and sink unit. Off the utility are doors to the lounge and ground floor shower room fitted with shower cubicle, low level WC and hand wash basin.

The lounge is exactly what you would expect from a country cottage – exposed stone walls, large inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove inset, beamed ceiling and French doors to the front elevation making the most of the rural views. There is also a spacious storage cupboard off the lounge, utilising the space beneath the stairs.

A door leads from the lounge into the central passageway which links the old and new halves of the cottage, as well as the staircase to first floor, and front porch.

The porch is large enough to lounge in and is surrounded by panoramic views across the valley, making the most of the outstanding scenery.

The kitchen is within the recent extension, fitted with stunning full-width bi-folding doors out to the gardens and patio area, but also allowing those seated at the dinner table to enjoy the breath-taking views whilst dining. The kitchen itself is a modern suite of wall and base units with integrated appliances, granite countertops and a bespoke period style ‘Thornhill’ wood fired oven.

The stairs lead up from the central hallway to the first-floor landing which gives access to both generous bedrooms and family shower room.

The main bedroom is the entire upper floor of the recent extension and offers the occupier a beautifully characterful exposed stone wall, double doors with Juliet balcony for enjoying the views and fresh country air, as well as ample room for a large bed and bedroom furniture.

Bedroom two also has views over the valley, as well as a large storage cupboard filling the void above the stairs and access hatch to the loft space, providing plenty of storage space.

The family shower room is immaculately presented with walk-in glass shower cubicle, low level WC and hand wash basin with modern illuminated smart mirror above, allowing the occupier to stream music whilst spending time in the shower.

The gardens are set up to enjoy the open rural aspect with a large lawned front garden as well as ‘the secret garden’ to the side elevation, housing a hot tub with wooden structure covering, this is fitted with Bluetooth technology allowing music to be streamed whilst in the tub enjoying the views in privacy.

There is a great amount of parking available at the cottage with triple car width on the main drive plus an additional double width drive beside the garage – as well as the garage itself. The garage is detached with up and over door, electricity and plumbing for washing machine. An additional small stone outhouse in the garden offers further storage.

Due to the location, passing traffic is minimal and the surroundings are tranquil.
