Farmhouse with 2 x 4* holiday cottages, planning for 3rd holiday cottage, about 10 acres & fishing rights - All on the fringe of the Northumberland National Park.
Elishaw farmhouse is a fine example of traditional 19th century architecture, constructed of stone under a slate roof, and positioned such that all rooms benefit from the fine open aspect over the surrounding countryside and the nearby River Rede.
A spacious dining hall, with tiled floor, awaits upon entering the property. This leads to a spacious and comfortable sitting room with open fire in a finely carved timber surround. A family room, with an open fire in a cast iron surround, provides further space to relax. The kitchen with a tiled floor is fitted with a range of pine base units with a Belfast sink and an oil fired Aga. This leads to the useful storage area provided by the pantry and a further cloaks cupboard in the rear entrance lobby. There is also a wc.
To the first floor there are three spacious double bedrooms, all offering exceptional views over the valley. A further bedroom is currently used as a spacious study. The bathroom, fitted with a white suite, also has a shower over the bath.
The high standard and appealing style of interior finish continues through to the two single storey holiday cottages which have been created from former farm buildings. These surround an adjoining gravelled courtyard, with a two storey stone building facing the cottages. This presents an ideal opportunity to create further accommodation subject to the necessary statutory consent being granted.
There are currently two holiday cottages; each with a large living room/kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Each cottage has a private walled garden to the rear, which adjoins a small paddock.
Planning permission has been granted to convert the stone barn to create a 3rd holiday cottage.
A further consent includes permission for change of use of one of the existing holiday cottages to full residential use on completion of the conversion.
A large clear span modern cattle shed and adjoining steel framed hayshed provides useful functional purpose storage.
Understandably Redesdale, on the fringe of the Northumberland National Park, continues to grow in popularity offering, as it does some, of the county’s most dramatic scenery and recreational opportunities coupled with excellent accessibility to Newcastle, approximately 32 miles, on the A696. The same pleasant drive also leads to Newcastle International Airport only 26 miles.
Hexham, recently voted England’s favourite market town, lies approximately 23 miles south on the A68 offering a good range of shops and services also.
The nearby village of Otterburn has a useful range of local shopping, pubs and hotels.
The property is superbly placed to take full advantage of the enjoyable scenery and to capitalise on the growth in tourism in rural Northumberland and the Scottish borders.
In addition to the private garden surrounding the farmhouse there is an orchard area providing useful recreation space for holiday tenants. A field of approximately 8.50 acres slopes away from the house and steading towards the River Rede.
The fishing rights are included in the sale.
