"A delightful country cottage with picturesque views of Northumbrian countryside"

The Property
Located in the much-sought-after village of Newton, Briar Cottage is a lovely country home that provides sensational views of the surrounding idyllic countryside. In keeping with Newton’s historic charm, this property exudes traditional character, complete with all the hallmarks of a quintessential country cottage.

The ground floor of Briar Cottage encompasses two inviting reception rooms: the spacious “family room” and the primary sitting room. Both spaces feature wood-burning stoves set within impressive solid-stone hearths, as well as exposed ceiling beams and sturdy wooden doors. The two rooms are warm and welcoming, providing an ideal space for relaxation. The family room, with its rear-facing French doors opening onto the patio terrace, offers enviable south-easterly views of the spacious established garden and the picturesque Tyne Valley backdrop.

Accessible via the central vestibule, the well-appointed kitchen neatly combines the original rustic stone-walls with contemporary fixtures and fitments. Beyond the kitchen lies access to the patio terrace and garden. The remainder of the ground floor includes a store room and a small bedroom with an adjoining WC. The store room presents an exciting opportunity for development, offering the potential to be transformed into a suitable space for a gym or home office as needed.

Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find the principal and secondary bedrooms, which share a modern bathroom equipped with both a shower and bath. The bedrooms on this level are equally inviting, featuring tasteful decor that complements the overall appeal of the property. The principal bedroom, in particular, captures the stunning south-easterly views across the Tyne Valley.

Externally, the property offers parking facilities and a stretching established garden with a terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining guests.
