Perfect for a family of four or two couples, the single-story semi-detached cottage hosts two bedrooms and sits on the doorstep to Northumberland National Park, offering views of the Cheviots from a fantastic, large rear garden. Admire the row of pretty, stone-wall properties on the quiet street before stepping inside your holiday home, where there is a small entrance to leave your shoes before settling in. The open-plan living/dining room is a welcoming space with charming painted beams, feature fireplaces, dining for four and an inviting leather suite, including two armchairs and a sofa; start the woodburning stove for added comfort whilst you gather the family together for a movie night. A skylight brings plenty of natural light into the smart, contemporary kitchen, where you can prepare hearty breakfasts and hot dinners using the fabulous range cooker and induction hob, and a generous fridge/freezer is ideal for stocking up on your favourite ingredients. After exploring nearby attractions or trekking through the National Park, the bathroom is the perfect setting to unwind; wash the day away in the walk-in shower or relax in the bubbles of the roll top bath, whilst your towel warms up on the heated towel rail. Two bright, airy bedrooms invite guests to climb under the sheets and rest their heads ready for the next day's adventures, including a king-size bed with gorgeous, hand-painted furnishings, as well as a twin with storage for belongings.
