The Property

Peartree Cottage is a splendid property converted from an traditional barn to create a beautiful family home and finished to an exacting standard. The accommodation incorporates original features that reflect the history of the building, blended seamlessly with elegant contemporary touches and finishes. The property also benefits from substantial gardens and a paddock of approximately 0.75 acres, along with off road parking. In all the property extends to just under one acre, all nestled in a peaceful rural hamlet yet with easy access to local amenities and regional centres.

The handsome stone-built property can be accessed through the vestibule on the east elevation to the hallway, whilst the west elevation has direct access to the garden room or sitting room. The hallway is bright and welcoming with modern panel glazed door from the vestibule and a striking staircase with oak and glass balustrade. A useful cloakroom/WC sits to the rear of the hallway. Double doors open to the generous yet cosy sitting room with feature fireplace and wood burner. Exposed ceiling beams are illuminated by natural light from the dual aspect, with French doors opening to the decked outdoor seating area. The magnificent open plan kitchen and dining room is the warm heart of the home. Solid wood cabinetry provides storage and houses a range of integrated appliances. An electric AGA sits within the central island offering both practicality and an eye-catching centrepiece. The well-defined dining area has more than enough space for a large table and chairs. Beautiful flooring runs throughout the room and onwards to the delightful garden room. An atrium ceiling fills the room with light and there are views over the garden and woodland beyond. Bi-fold doors create perfect indoor/outdoor living space.

From the kitchen there is also access to the annexe. With all accommodation arranged across the ground floor for great accessibility, the annexe is suitable for a variety of uses such as a dependent relative, guests or a separate space to work from home. The annexe incorporates an open plan kitchen/living room, a bedroom and a bathroom with the same quality finishes found throughout Peartree Cottage. Vaulted ceilings with exposed A-beams add to the feeling of space. There is separate external access for privacy, but also an internal link allowing the annexe to be used as part of the main house.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms all with an understated modern appearance. The principal bedroom benefits from a large and elegant en-suite shower room with beautiful high quality fixtures and fittings. The suite comprises a luxurious walk-in shower, wash hand basin set on a vanity unit, WC and contemporary heated towel rail. The other two bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family bathroom with bath, separate walk-in rainfall shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. There are useful storage cupboards off both the first floor landing and the ground floor hallway.

Externally

Peartree Cottage has the advantage of substantial gardens to the rear enjoying westerly views, an expansive raised decking area and a paddock of around 0.75 acres. To the front of the property is a further area of garden laid mainly to lawn with planted borders. A five-bar gate leads to a driveway with plenty of space for off-road parking. A second gated entrance sweeps around to the side of the property with yet more parking space. Planning permission has previously been granted for a garage. Although this has now lapsed, interested parties may wish to explore this avenue.

The thoughtfully constructed and well-maintained decking wraps around the garden room and sitting room with lots of space for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The paddock extends away to the south of the property with sheltering woodland either side and well-fenced boundaries. A shed sits at the northern end of the paddock. The land is ideal for equestrian enthusiasts and the glorious views roll away across open Northumberland countryside.
