This home consists of a cute little cottage and a modern barn conversion in the middle of the Northumberland countryside. It would be perfect for two small families or a group of friends who like a bit of independence and privacy. The cottage is built from typical honey-hued stone, and a wood-burning stove in the living room and wood beams along the dining room ceiling complete the cottage idyll. From the bedrooms upstairs, you’ve got sprawling views of the surrounding countryside. The barn is more modern, with an open-plan living area where a wall of folding glass doors opens up to the outside patio. It’s beautifully bright and airy with a sleek breakfast bar separating the living room from the kitchen. Both buildings are connected by the outside space – lawns for games and patios for dining outdoors when the sun is out. This place is in a wonderfully secluded part of the country, with a lake a short walk away for post-breakfast strolls, villages with cosy country pubs within easy driving distance and Belsay Castle a seven-minute drive away.
