About this property
Set within the beautiful Northumberland National Park, this charming former farmhouse offers a tranquil retreat and holiday home getaway with breathtaking views across the Tarset Valley. The property sits within a 60-acre country estate, providing immediate access to beautiful countryside and woodland directly from the doorstep. It's an ideal base for exploring nearby attractions including Black Middens Bastle House and the Sidwood Trail. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Kielder Water for sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking, while Kielder Forest offers numerous trails for walking and mountain biking. The Dark Sky Park provides spectacular nighttime views with millions of stars visible on clear evenings. Bellingham, 7 miles away, provides shops, pubs, and restaurants, with the village of Greenhaugh just 3.5 miles away. Perfect for families, friends, and couples, this family-friendly accommodation accommodates up to six people and welcomes two dogs.
The beautiful stone-built cottage has been lovingly updated with wood flooring throughout and quality finishes. The ground floor houses three attractive bedrooms – two king-size rooms each featuring a decorative fireplace, and a twin bedroom. The family shower room includes a spacious wet-room-style shower and WC, with an additional separate WC for convenience. The impressive first-floor open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner showcases vaulted ceilings with original exposed beams, creating a light and airy atmosphere. The comfortable leather sofas in the lounge area provide the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration. The well-equipped kitchen features an electric range-style five-ring hob and double oven, built-in microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. Bar stools at the kitchen island offer casual seating, while the extendable dining table accommodates everyone for sociable meals.
The large, south-facing garden area at the front of the cottage includes wooden table and bench seating, perfect for al fresco dining while enjoying the fabulous valley views and incredible starry skies. Off-road parking for three cars is available at the rear of the property, with additional parking spaces if needed. People staying have access to the entire 60-acre estate for walking and cycling adventures.
