Stoney Wall, nestled in Greenhead near Haltwhistle, Northumberland is this wonderful, contemporary, detached cottage. With a fabulous open-plan living space, en-suite bathroom, and a sheltered outdoor hot tub, this property welcomes two guests for the perfect romantic getaway.
Step inside, kick off your shoes, and be immediately welcomed by the warmth of underfloor heating in the living area; sink into the sumptuous corner sofa after a long journey and relax with your favourite show on the TV. Move through to the sleek kitchen area to set the dining table ready for a home-cooked meal, rustled up by the party's chef, who can utilise the electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, and ample storage space for their go-to ingredients.
Ideal for those with limited mobility, elderly guests or to sleep two extra people, the open-plan living space also has a handy sofa bed for two, with easy access to the stylish ground-floor shower room; be sure to hang your towel on the heated towel rail whilst you rinse off in the walk-in shower for added comfort. Climb the stairs to find a gorgeous king-size bedroom to unpack your belongings and rest up ready for the next day's adventures.
In the beautifully-finished en-suite bathroom, unwind amongst the bubbles in the corner bath and let any stress roll off your shoulders. Step outside into the rear garden where a sheltered hot tub awaits for an evening under the stars, whilst the outdoor seating area is perfect for dining alfresco and toasting to your peaceful, countryside retreat.
