"A fine Grade II Listed former Rectory with separate detached cottage and riverside grounds, set in the Northumberland National Park"
The Properties
Greystead Rectory and the charming Greystead Cottage, set within the rectory’s grounds, together present a rare opportunity to acquire two historically significant homes in a tranquil corner of the North Tyne Valley. The Cottage benefits from residential planning consent but is currently run as a successful holiday let enjoying consistently high occupancy—offering appealing income potential for lifestyle buyers.
Set in a private position within the hamlet of Greystead, the properties lie just a stone’s throw from the River North Tyne and only four miles from Kielder Water. Surrounded by open countryside and located within a Dark Sky Park, the setting feels wonderfully remote while remaining within easy reach of amenities in nearby Bellingham and beyond.
