The accommodation within the cottage flows naturally from room to room and consists of 3 double bedrooms, a comfortable family sitting room with a wood burning stove, a conservatory with views over the ornamental gardens and a dining room off the kitchen with a lantern window and patio doors. The breakfasting kitchen has a wonderful vaulted ceiling, a range of fitted units and a 2 door AGA. The accommodation is supported by a family bathroom, a separate wet room and a back kitchen / utility room.
Keepers Cottage sits in about 0.60 of an acre of stunning garden grounds. The formal ornamental gardens at the front of the cottage offers planted borders and mature shrubbery.

Area Insights
Keepers Cottage is a delightful and charming cottage, positioned just south of Wooler. The property sits by itself with no direct neighbors in a quiet and peaceful spot of North Northumberland. The area is one of the most sparsely populated areas of England and enjoys breathtaking scenery and a wonderful connection to nature. Wooler which is about a 10 minute drive away is the nearest town. Although Wooler offers a national Co-op supermarket it has some truly excellent independent shops including the Cheviot Farm Bakery, TR Johnson Butcher, The Good Life Deli, The Chocolate Box and Budgen’s Convenience Store which would all love your support. Wooler also offers excellent local schooling which includes Glendale Middle School and Wooler First School, both have very good reputations. There are a number of pubs, cafes, restaurants and the new Ad Gefrin Whiskey Distillery which is a popular tourist attraction for the town. Wooler has a vibrant community spirit and down to earth friendly people and is a wonderful town to be associated with.
The market town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed sits 22 miles North-East of Keepers Cottage. It is well-known for its stunning architecture and historical Castle walls. It has a wide range of amenities including 5 national supermarkets and schooling for all ages. Berwick also has a selection of leisure and sports clubs, banks, cafes, restaurants and The Malting theatre and cinema. Country and sporting pursuits are also readily available in the nearby area, including hill walking, salmon and trout fishing, riding, hunting, and shooting. There are plenty of excellent golf courses available locally, such as Wooler, Bamburgh, Goswick, and the Hirsel Golf Club in Coldstream. Berwick also offers a mainline railway station which has a regular service up and down the east coast of the country.
