The property

Brampton 8.5 miles.

11 The Forge is a well-presented contemporary holiday home resting in a rural setting within the Northumberland countryside, offering a welcoming base for couples or a small family seeking to explore Hadrian’s Wall, the Cumbrian lakes and the Tyne Valley.

Surrounded by open fields and far-reaching countryside views, this appealing property is set on a residential street and provides a tasteful retreat for up to four guests.

On entering the property, you are welcomed into a bright and stylish sitting room, where sleek tiled flooring sits beneath a generous corner sofa with reclining settings, providing an inviting space to unwind after a day of exploring.

A TV with a sound bar offers entertainment for relaxed evenings indoors.

Moving through the property, the kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances and caters well to your self-catering needs, while the dining area provides seating for four, making it a fitting spot to enjoy home-cooked meals, toast a special occasion, or settle in for a games night with loved ones.

The ground floor is completed by a useful utility room with additional storage, a washing machine, and a contemporary cloakroom.

Step outside to the private garden area, where outdoor seating allows you to savour a morning coffee or an evening drink while taking in the surrounding rural scenery.

Climb the stairs to the first floor, where two thoughtfully arranged bedrooms await.

Choose from a flexible twin room, which can be arranged as a super-king-size on request and enjoys countryside views, or the king-size bedroom, which benefits from a built-in TV, ideal for slower starts to the day.

The bathroom serves the accommodation with a sleek finish, featuring a P-shaped bath with shower over and a heated towel rail, offering a refreshing space to unwind at the end of the day.

If you don’t fancy cooking, the nearby village of Gilsland offers a selection of pubs serving food and a quaint café, alongside a children’s play park and scenic riverside walks by the River Irthing, while the surrounding area is steeped in history, with sections of Hadrian’s Wall close by, as well as access to the Pennine Way, Birdoswald Roman Fort, Naworth and Featherstone Castle, and the atmospheric ruins of Thirlwall, Bellister, Blenkinsopp and Bewcastle.

Further afield, enjoy days out at Talkin Tarn Country Park with its ancient glacial lake and walking trails, or explore the market towns of Brampton and Haltwhistle, both offering weekly markets, local shops and eateries, with the North Pennines, Eden Valley, Scottish Borders and the Lake District all within reach.

Choose 11 The Forge as a well-located base for discovering the rich history and varied landscapes of Cumbria and beyond.

Where you’ll be staying

BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA

Carlisle 10 miles.

The market town of Brampton is the ideal base for exploring Hadrian’s Wall. The town boasts a rich and colourful history going back to the Roman occupation, Border reivers from Scotland and the Jacobite uprisings, plus bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of the old buildings in Brampton. In the centre of the town is Moot Hall, which was built in 1817, and now houses the Tourist Information Centre, and there is a large motte to the east of the town, which is 135 feet high and has the statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle on it. A few miles outside Brampton is Talkin Tarn Country Park. It covers 120 acres of farmland and woodland, 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Two miles away is Gelt Woods, which is an ancient woodland and RSPB nature reserve and has the River Gelt running through it. Brampton is a wonderful base for exploring this historic and scenic area.
