Property description

A rare and unique opportunity to acquire this charming two bedroom stone Cottage, set within a semi-rural location boasting breathtaking panoramic views across Whitburn Golf Club, the Coastline at Marsden, and towards the mouth of the River Tyne with Tynemouth Priory forming a striking backdrop.

Originally part of former farm buildings, the property has been thoughtfully converted to offer spacious and characterful accommodation throughout. Accessed via a front entrance vestibule, stairs lead to the main hallway featuring parquet flooring, under-stairs storage, and a feature column radiator. The lounge, positioned to the front, is rich in character with an exposed chimney breast, multi-fuel log burner, and exposed stone wall. French doors open onto a raised balcony with composite decking and glass balustrade, perfectly framing the outstanding views.

The property benefits from a stylish four piece bathroom suite, including a roll-top bath and separate shower. To the rear, a generous open-plan kitchen diner provides a welcoming living space, fitted with a solid oak farmhouse-style kitchen, integrated appliances, space for a range cooker, a further multi-fuel burner, and slate flooring.

To the first floor are two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying the stunning front facing views. The landing is open with a spindle staircase and provides access to a useful loft space, housing an energy efficient heat pump system. The property also benefits from owned solar panels.

Externally, there is a sunny resin courtyard garden to the rear, a driveway for off road parking, and a low maintenance front garden with useful under-balcony storage. Early viewing is highly recommended.
