The property
This traditional stone built cottage is situated in the pretty village of Fourstones on the edge of the Northumberland National Park just four miles from the attractive market town of Hexham.
It is ideally situated for exploring UNESCO World Heritage Site Hadrian's Wall Country and the surrounding area including Kielder Water, the Northumberland coastline and Newcastle upon Tyne.
The cottage offers family and dog friendly accommodation to a very high standard, an ideal base for a Northumberland getaway.
Step down towards the cottage and be welcomed by a stable door which leads into the stunning kitchen/diner with shaker style cream coloured units and modern integrated appliances, an attractive tiled floor and a dining table with bench seating.
The ground floor also accommodates a tastefully furnished sitting room, enhanced by original wooden floorboards and doors, exceptional countryside views and a high-quality woodburner giving Stanegate Cottage a year-round appeal.
Head upstairs and discover two bedrooms, completed to a hotel room standard with homely touches and plenty of storage – the main bedroom is a good sized double with countryside views and the second bedroom offers cosy sleeping for up to three guests in twin beds, a single and a small double.
The luxurious bathroom is tastefully decorated with contemporary tiles, vanity units and a large shower cubicle.
Enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks from the enclosed courtyard and prepare the next day's adventure.
