Escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life at this delightful Grade II-listed stone-built bungalow sitting in the grounds of a tranquil country estate, just 3 miles from the picturesque village of Cornhill-on-Tweed. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this lovely cottage is the perfect place for small families or groups of friends to relax and experience an unforgettable getaway in Northumberland. If you’re a history buff, you’ll adore visiting Norham Castle, an impressive 12th-century fortress that played a pivotal role in the Anglo-Scottish conflicts. In the evening, come home to the cottage’s peaceful patio to enjoy a relaxed al fresco dinner with your loved ones.
Access the garden gate from the parking area (there’s room for two vehicles) and head to this gorgeous, period stone cottage. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by an inviting hallway leading to a stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. Take a moment to appreciate the high ceilings and exposed beams in the cosy lounge area, before heading to the chic kitchen area to whip up some dinner. Gather everyone together for a sociable meal at the dining table or open up the French doors that lead out onto the pretty patio and dine alfresco. Afterwards, head back to the lounge area to unwind with a glass of wine in front of a wood burner. At the end of the day, take the shallow step to the hallway and you’ll find two lovely bedrooms – a relaxing double and a handy twin – each boasting elegant decor and peaceful garden views. Completing the layout, you’ll find a bright shower room with underfloor heating.
Spend a lovely day strolling through the scenic grounds of Tillmouth Park (0.5 miles), where you’ll find the historic Twizel Bridge and the ruins of Twizel Castle. Alternatively, head to the charming Scottish Border town of Coldstream (5 miles) where you’ll find the famous Coldstream Museum and Coldstream Bridge, a historic crossing point over the River Tweed.
