Nestled in a tranquil corner of the beautiful Allen Valleys near Hexham, this former farm cottage radiates charm and character, boasts breathtaking countryside views and offers a truly peaceful escape for couples and families. Explore picturesque walks through the East Allen Valley from your doorstep and discover the nearby town of Allendale (3.5 miles), where rushing rivers, pretty waterfalls, and stunning moorlands await. For a taste of history and culture, the medieval abbey town of Hexham, with a great selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants to enjoy, can be reached within 9.5 miles. Corbridge, 16 miles away, is a truly unspoilt Northumbrian village nestled close to the beautiful Hadrian’s Wall, with great village pubs, restaurants and independent shops.

At the end of a busy day’s expedition, kick off your walking boots and hang up your coat in the welcoming entrance porchway before following the warmth of the roaring wood burner in the light-filled open-plan kitchen/diner. Featuring charming, contemporary country cottage décor as well as original exposed brickwork, this wonderfully social space echoes the cottage's rich heritage, as well as provides everything you need to cook and dine with loved ones. Featuring another roaring wood burner housed within and an exposed brickwork fireplace, the cosy lounge boasts a wonderfully welcoming ambience that invites tired travellers to unwind on one of the plush sofas. Featuring high vaulted ceilings and original wooden beams, the super-king-size bedroom and super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (can be made up as a twin on request) upstairs provide a haven of tranquillity to retire to. The contemporary family bathroom on this level offers everything you need to wash off a long day exploring the local trails.

The south-west-facing cottage garden, with a lawn, mature apple trees and a small patio area, provides plenty of space to sit back and soak up your peaceful surrounding scenery. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for two cars.
