Formerly two cottages with attached Post Office, this fine stone-built dwelling enjoys 16th and 17th century origins with some additions to its rear and providing bags of character. This is very much a property of two halves with a village aspect to the front, and by contrast almost rural appeal to the rear inclusive of outstanding views over the hills to the west beyond.

Milestone Cottage enjoys a traditional appeal with modern services as well as fireplaces and beams.

Wall is a traditional rural village mainly built in stone with a thriving community should you wish to become involved, and a classical village green as its centre, together with a well respected inn/hotel. Road systems allow easy access to Hexham, Carlisle, Newcastle city and business centres as well as public bus transport. Nestling within the Tyne Valley towards the meeting of South and North Tyne rivers, and having the benefit of The George Hotel at Chollerford nearby.
