The Property

Viney Cottage is a characterful detached property with a wealth of history nestled in a central yet private location in the much sought-after village of Corbridge. The property is within easy walking distance of all facilities and amenities. When the property was purchased in 1970 it was as part of the Corbridge Church of England Junior school complex comprising Headmasters House, school buildings and a museum which was originally constructed in 1928. The museum contained a number of Celtic and Saxon stones and coffin lids which were removed and are now freestanding or set into the garden and garage walls. The freestanding stones are expected to be moved to the Great North Museum so they can be enjoyed by the public. The playground was broken up and converted into gardens. The other properties were sold to finance the conversion of the museum and adjoining building in 1980 into their present form.

Today, Viney Cottage offers a fantastic opportunity for interested parties to renovate, update and add a personal touch to a unique home in a hugely sought-after location.

A porch provides everyday access and leads to the open plan kitchen/dining room. A dual aspect brings an abundance of light and French doors open to the patio overlooking the gardens. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and a breakfast bar for casual dining. The well-defined dining area has plenty of space for a large table and chairs, positioned to make the most of the view to the garden. A useful ground floor WC is tucked away to one corner. The expansive sitting room has lovely exposed stonework and exposed beams to the ceiling, bringing real character. A raised area to one end features full height glazing that fills the room with natural light. At the opposite end of the sitting room, three steps lead through to the relaxing garden room.

An open tread spindled staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a large dressing room with more storage and an en-suite wash hand basin. Two further bedrooms also have fitted storage. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom with suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin, WC and bidet.

Externally

Viney Cottage sits within lovely landscaped gardens in a private position right in the heart of Corbridge. The property benefits from excellent parking provision which is extremely rare in this sought-after location. A double garage sits back from Appletree Lane with further off-road parking space in front. A door open from the rear of the garage to the landscaped gardens which incorporate flagged terraces and well-kept lawns with colourful plantings. Mature trees bring shelter and privacy. A garden store/utility room is nestled to one side with useful space for outdoor equipment and there is also a substantial shed.

Agents Note

There is a freestanding fridge freezer, washing machine, electric oven and hob plus a tumble dryer which can remain as part of the fixtures if interested parties should like them to be included.
