With its charming upside-down layout, this stone built period cottage combines cosy country comfort with a lovely loft-like vibe.

A cosy two bedroom cottage perfectly placed for exploring coast and country.

The overall feel is warm and welcoming and its position in the peaceful hamlet of Grindon Rigg in the parish of Duddo offers the perfect change of pace for those looking to explore the Northumbrian heritage coast or the rolling Border heartlands.

On the ground floor, there are two pretty bedrooms with original beams along with high quality mattresses and crisp linens from the White Company which will ease you into a restful sleep. This comprises a master bedroom and one small double bedroom offering complete flexibility for couples or families with zip and link bed options which can be configured to twin or super king as required.

The upper floor leads directly into an inviting loft style living space with an open plan layout divided by a central staircase. Here you can spend long lazy days or evenings enjoying the warmth of the woodburning stove while the kitchen/dining set-up is perfect for relaxed socialising.

There is an attractive lawned garden to the front of the cottage with high hedging offering privacy, and a small compact garden to the rear with decking and barbecue.

There are superb walking routes in and around this area and the National Cycle Route 68 runs right past the door for those who prefer to enjoy their days on two wheels!
