The Stable, is an exceptionally well-finished three-bedroom home arranged over two floors, designed to maximize both space and natural light. The high standard of finish is evident throughout with traditional carpentry, quality fixtures and fittings, oak internal doors and limestone flooring giving the property an immediate sense of character, whilst its generous glazing provides interiors with lots of natural light. Of particular note is the private rear south-facing garden and terrace, which has beautiful far-reaching views across the surrounding Northumberland countryside, which is easily accessed from both the Kitchen and living room.

The entrance hall makes a strong first impression, with limestone tiled flooring and a beautifully crafted cut-string staircase introducing the quality of joinery found throughout the house. Oak internal doors complement the natural materials, whilst a useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs, a discreet cloakroom/WC, and an integrated utility cupboard with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer have been neatly incorporated without compromising the simplicity of the space.

From the hallway, the stylish dual aspect Kitchen is fitted to an exceptional specification which includes a comprehensive range of painted in frame cabinetry with contrasting quartz work surfaces, full range of quality integrated appliances including range style cooker, set on a traditional limestone flagged floor.
