About
Enjoying a wonderfully private and rural setting on the outskirts of Thropton, this detached bungalow occupies a substantial plot with stunning open countryside views and offers a rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional home.
Situated along a quiet lane just outside the village, the property is surrounded by attractive gardens and benefits from a peaceful position that perfectly captures the beauty of the Northumberland countryside.
While the accommodation would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, it presents fantastic potential for buyers looking to refurbish and personalise the existing bungalow.
The generous plot may also offer scope for extension or further development, subject to the necessary consents.
The accommodation comprises a spacious reception room located at the front of the property, featuring large windows that overlook the garden and take full advantage of the far-reaching rural views.
To the rear, there is a kitchen with adjoining utility room and separate store, providing useful ancillary space and excellent potential for reconfiguration if desired.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and separate W.C.
Properties in such private countryside locations rarely become available, particularly those offering such significant potential for improvement and enhancement.
This is an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a rural lifestyle, investment project, or a property with the scope to create a bespoke country home in one of Northumberland's most desirable areas.
