The Property

Apple Cottage is a charming sandstone cottage with accommodation over two floors. The property is full of character and country charm with warm and welcoming rooms. The sandstone and slate roof elevation, enhanced by double glazed country-style windows, is an attractive façade. Benefiting from a dual aspect, the cottage has pleasant views on both sides.

The central entrance hall opens to the versatile dining room featuring a bespoke fitted oak bookcase and beautiful mahogany mantelpiece. French doors enjoy a pleasant outlook onto the rear garden and a paved seating area. The central sitting room is the welcoming heart of the home, with an exposed brick and beam fireplace and real oak flooring. Illuminated with natural light from a large front-facing window and French doors, the room extends to the conservatory which could also be used as a dining room. Both reception rooms have multi-fuel burners. The Callerton Kitchens solid oak cabinetry and breakfast bar are accented by oak and granite countertops with integrated Miele coffee machine and microwave. The country kitchen style is complemented by two stable doors to front and rear gardens, and a traditional fireplace recess for a range cooker.

On the first floor, the well-lit landing leads to the private principal bedroom suite with large, fitted wardrobes, generous space for a king-size bed, dressing area and an en-suite shower room with walk-in shower and vanity unit along with underfloor heating. The characterful bathroom features a delightful roll top bath with views over the front garden. The bright guest bedroom has two fitted wardrobes with picturesque views onto fields and woodland. The further bedroom is a versatile space, currently used as a study.

Externally

Low Yarridge is a hidden haven nestled in a rural setting south-west of Hexham’s boundary yet in close proximity to its amenities. The cottage is sheltered by a cluster of original farm buildings, converted circa 1987 to seven stone residences. Apple Cottage has been in the same ownership for 25 years and is the first residential property at Low Yarridge to come onto the open market in 19 years.

The property is surrounded by open countryside with west-facing views to fields and woodland at the rear, affording stunning sunsets. There is permissive access for Low Yarridge residents to most of the adjoining fields, an advantage for dog walkers and ramblers.

The cottage-style garden is well-stocked with shrubbery and flowering plants and sheltered by mature hedging. The picturesque front garden is quintessentially English with two mature apple trees and abundant mixed planting. The vibrant flower beds mix a wide range of plants including geraniums, Sweet Williams and poppies.

The lush rear garden drops to a seasonal stream, which borders open farmland. The sloping garden with sections of decking offers a varied landscape that contrasts with a manicured lawn and cottage garden planting. This area requires some reinstatement but provides plenty of scope for further landscaping and other uses, including offering the perfect location for a summerhouse.

The stone façade double garage accommodates two cars and offers scope to extend into and above the eaves for a home studio, office or guest bedroom suite, subject to the necessary consents. There is also designated parking as well as visitor parking spaces.
