Everyday access to the property is through a half glazed door into the kitchen. The principal reception room is the warm and inviting sitting room with a gorgeous original inglenook fireplace housing a modern woodburner. A fabulous full length tilt and turn window catches the light and showcases the views.

There is ample space for a dining table and chairs and also room for additional seating. The sleek and modern kitchen is superbly appointed with a comprehensive range of fitted units with contrasting quartz and oak worktops and space for casual dining.

A light and bright shower room completes the accommodation, with suite comprising a walk-in rainfall shower, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit and WC.



Externally

Low Rigg is reached via a winding track through magnificent countryside. The drive has been planted with Himalayan Birch trees to create an "avenue" approach. There is ample space for parking and planning permission is granted to build a double garage to the front of the property (Northumberland County Council planning ref. 19/01084/FUL). Wiring is in place for a car charging point.



There are around two acres of paddocks and around 9 acres of further grazing land with a peaceful burn running through. This land has been planted with saplings of Field Maple, Silver Birch, Aspen, Scotch Pine, Larch and Blue Spruce to create a wonderful mixed woodland haven. The property as a whole offers a rare opportunity to secure a glorious countryside home and lifestyle.
