A characterful four-bedroom home with garage, set in the picturesque village of High Mickley. Enjoying far-reaching views and offering excellent potential, this is a rare opportunity to make the most of a truly special plot.
1 The Cottages is a characterful home offering generous space throughout and an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise to suit their needs, all while enjoying its exceptional setting.
To the front, the property benefits from an attractive first impression with the benefit of a good sized parking area. Entry can be gained via either the recently constructed conservatory or a door to the sider. The conservatory provides a bright and welcoming introduction to the home, enjoying an abundance of morning light and offering a pleasant spot to sit and unwind.
From here, a central hallway gives access to a study, the first reception room, and the stairs to the first floor. The study is a practical, compact space
ideal for home working. The first reception room is well-proportioned, with hard flooring and tall windows; serving as a useful link between the conservatory and kitchen.
The kitchen sits in the heart of the property and takes full advantage of the far-reaching views beyond. It offers an excellent range of floor and wall units along with a comfortable footprint with good storage and potential for updating.
Leading off the kitchen is the rear hallway, accessed via the side door, which connects to a spacious garage, a generous ground floor WC, and steps down to a charming sitting room. This sitting room is full of character, featuring a traditional open fireplace and windows to three aspects, creating a cosy yet distinctive atmosphere.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms facing the front of the property, both enjoying morning light, with one benefitting from built-in storage. Opposite is a third bedroom, suitable as a child’s room or guest space, along with a family bathroom fitted with a bath and overhead shower, WC, and basin. At the end of the hallway is a further double bedroom, with far reading westerly views, this room could easily be an additional study.
While the internal layout reflects the property’s origins and may not fully capitalise on its outstanding surroundings, it offers clear potential for thoughtful reconfiguration. The true highlight is the plot and its elevated position, providing beautiful, far-reaching views that make this a particularly special opportunity.
The rear garden is a generous space, with permission granted to access from the road to the garden gate. It is perfectly positioned to take in the spectacular far-reaching views over the Tyne Valley. On a clear day, these extend as far as The Cheviot Hills, offering a truly special backdrop. A blank canvas, it presents an excellent opportunity to create a beautifully landscaped garden designed to make the most of its setting.
