If the thought of relaxing in front of a wood burner whilst your dinner cooks in the Aga makes you smile, you’ll love this Grade II Listed Cottage. Brimming with quaint rural charm but just 10 minutes from Morpeth and close to coastal walks, the National Park and direct trains to Newcastle and Edinburgh.

Located in a small, welcoming sought-after village surrounded by Northumberland’s rolling fields, this 19th-century cottage blends period charm with 21st century convenience.

You feel the warmth the moment you walk through the door. The sitting room, with its rich wooden floors and original inglenook stone fireplace, is everything you’d hope for on a chilly evening. Light the wood burner, curl up with a book, and let the rest of the world melt away.

Head through to the kitchen, where classic country charm meets everyday practicality. There’s an Aga for slow Sunday roasts, a butler sink, warm wooden worktops and plenty of space for a farmhouse table - plus a stable-style door opening to the rear with a seating area perfect for summer lunches or late-night stargazing.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are decent sized doubles with fitted storage and lovely rural views. The generous sized shower room with its walk-in double shower is perfect for freshening up after a bracing walk along the coast or through the National Park.

Outside, the pretty front garden is neatly enclosed with a stone wall and gate, and a stone-built outbuilding at the rear is ideal for bikes, logs or beach gear.

The thriving market town of Morpeth is just a short drive away, offering everything from stylish shopping, restaurants, pubs, to riverside walks, as well as a modern leisure centre and swimming pool.

Morpeth railway station is on the East Coast Mainline that puts both Newcastle and Edinburgh comfortably within reach.

For a wider selection of shops and places to eat, it’s only a 25 minute drive to the centre of Newcastle or the Gateshead Metrocentre.

For those relying on public transport the X18 bus, which picks up a few doors down, will take you to Morpeth in 15 minutes or along the coastal route as far north as Berwick - Upon -Tweed in the other direction.

With no upper chain to delay things, this charming country cottage is ready when you are. Whether you’re looking for a full-time base, a weekend escape from the city, or something altogether more long-term, this place makes it easy to imagine a slower, richer pace of life.
