The Property
The Old Schoolhouse is a lovely, characterful cottage situated in the magnificent Northumberland National Park, renowned for its designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and hosting Europe’s vastest expanse of dark night skies. Thoughtfully and sympathetically styled by the current owners, the property has evolved into a warm and welcoming home, offering a quiet and comfortable retreat from the seasonal weather.
A picture perfect picket fence and gate opens onto a path leading to the front door, behind which is a smart entrance hall with stairs leading up to the first floor and access to a ground floor bathroom and the sitting room. The bathroom is superbly fitted with a shower above the bath. The sitting room is a gorgeous space for snuggling up in front of the log burner in the stone inglenook fireplace with exposed ceiling beams and striking views from the double windows. The kitchen, accessed from the sitting room, is a wonderful blend of modern and traditional country cottage style kitchen with an excellent range of wall and floor units, Belfast sink, gas hob and double electric oven. The kitchen opens into a stunning dining room with windows to three sides overlooking the impressive gardens and rolling fields beyond. This is a perfect space to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the beautiful surroundings. Also accessed from the sitting room is a peaceful ground floor double bedroom with exposed stone wall and ceiling beams. This could also be used as a home office or second reception room, depending on what the owner requires. To the first floor is a very useful landing space, ideal for a desk or a reading nook. The principal bedroom is flooded with light and very spacious with plenty of room for all bedroom furniture.
Externally
A gated gravel driveway beside the property provides an abundance of parking. The lawns and planted beds and borders are immaculate with the enjoyable addition of a pond and delightfully framed by open fields and countryside.
