We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Full Description Property Ref: S3080 **chain free ** Catswell Cottage and Adderstone Mains Lodge provides a unique opportunity for someone searching for an idyllic rural property in the area of the stunning North Northumberland aonb coastline.
Nestled at the edge of the hamlet of Adderstone Mains, three miles from the coaching village of Belford, and five miles from the village of Bamburgh with its iconic castle, Catswell Cottage is situated on a large three quarter acre plot with secluded gardens and various outbuildings including a summerhouse and disused polytunnel.
The garden also benefits from a large pond stocked with fish and numerous trees and shrubs making it an extremely private and calming place, but with its close proximity to the A1 trunk road, also has excellent transport links to the larger market towns of Berwick Upon Tweed (15 miles to the north) and Alnwick (15 miles to the south), with the larger cities of Newcastle Upon Tyne and Edinburgh beyond that.
Catswell Cottage is a large three bedroom stone bungalow constructed in 1996. The property would benefit from some light re-decoration and modernisation, but is offered in good condition.
Attached to Catswell Cottage is a large two storey double garage, with a large room on the first floor accessed externally that would be suitable for a variety of uses subject to any necessary consents.
The cottage and garage present, subject to necessary consents, the opportunity to create a 5/6 bedroom house by incorporating the garage block to the existing cottage via internal reconfiguration.
In addition to the cottage and garage block, there is also an additional property, Adderstone Mains Lodge, a 2 bedroom house built in the 1800s that is currently not occupied and requires complete refurbishment.
This also offers a massive opportunity to any prospective buyer to refurbish and create additional ancillary accommodation - either for multigenerational living, or for those looking for a lifestyle property as an income opportunity via rental, either for residential or as a holiday let making use of the high tourist interest in this area (the property was last used and run as a holiday let by previous owners for several years but has been empty for almost a decade).
Viewing (strictly by appointment) is recommend to fully appreciate the scope of potential the property offers.
The property also benefits by being offered with no onward chain and is offered with vacant possession.
