The Property
Designed and built by the current owners in 2003, Pity Me Cottage is an impressive detached property with spacious and flexible accommodation across two floors, allowing various configurations of living and sleeping arrangements. The outside space includes several outbuildings including a fantastic summerhouse with bar. There are generous garden and paddocks with the property extending in all to around 4 acres, ideal for anyone looking for an equestrian opportunity.
The porch leads into a spacious tiled hallway where wooden doors, some with beautiful stained glass windows lead off into the rooms. The light, bright kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home with ample space for a dining table and a family/snug seating area as well as a large island with breakfast bar. Shaker style units, oak work tops and a range cooker create a lovely homely, country kitchen feel, with modern integrated appliances including microwave and dishwasher. A useful utility room off the kitchen provides further storage and preparation space plus anther sink and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A more formal dining room and the sitting room complete the living space on the ground floor. The dining room has glazed double doors into the sitting room, which can be left open for a more open-plan living space, ideal for family life and entertaining. The sitting room has windows on two sides, allowing light to flood in and bringing the wonderful views of the fields beyond into the house, and a door provides access straight into the garden. A wood burning stove sits in an elegant fireplace.
At the opposite end of the house is the principal bedroom; a generous L-shaped room with sophisticated décor, en-suite shower room and separate dressing room. Two further similarly well-presented bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a shower above the bath and the final bedroom on the ground floor is served by a stunning bathroom with amazing multi jet corner shower, spa bath and double wash hand basins plus gorgeous detailed mosaic tiling on the floor.
A fantastic wrought iron spiral staircase leads up to the first floor where a large landing leads off to a bedroom and bathroom on one side and a room currently set up as an office to the other side. Another door off the office opens into a room above the garage, set up as a games room and home gym, with stairs down to the garage.
Externally
A gated gravel drive with turning circle leads to a paved parking area in front of the integral double garage with electric door and beside the front door is a patio area. Lush lawn wraps around the side and rear of the house and a gate beside the garage provides access to a large patio with a perfect seating area beneath a wooden gazebo and connected to the summerhouse with fantastic bar inside.
A graveled hard standing area includes a shed and a double glazed and insulated workshop/storage barn, and this would be an excellent place to build stables. Planning permission has been granted for a 12 x 18m2 agricultural building (Northumberland County Council planning ref: 19/00386/FUL).
Paddocks extend beyond this and Pity Me Cottage covers around 4 acres in total.
