Summary:
Located on the edge of the Northumberland National Park in the hamlet of Thropton, Rose Cottage is a characterful stone-built cottage. Just a short walk to the locally popular Three Wheat Heads Inn, the property has plenty to offer right on its doorstep. Lovingly renovated to a high standard, this beautiful cottage sleeps three guests across two bedrooms with a lounge/dining area and kitchen, while the property also boasts a shower room making it a perfect choice for relaxing getaways.
The Space:
The cosy living area has a comfy leather sofa and a flat screen TV, and also a woodburning stove for those cold Northumberland winter nights. After a busy day, you can kick back on the sofa and keep up with your favourite shows on Freeview or streaming apps. Also sharing this space is the dining area which features a solid wooden table and matching padded chairs.
Rose Cottage boasts a stunning high shine, white coloured kitchen which is fully equipped for self-catering staycations. Here you can make the most of all the modern appliances on offer including an oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge and separate freezer.
Rose Cottage has two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom has storage space aplenty and a comfortable king size bed, decked out in plush bedding and premium bed linens to ensure you have a great night’s sleep.
The second bedroom has a single bed with stunning views across the Thropton rooftops and over to the moorland in the distance. While not as large as the master bedroom, still offers a cosy night's sleep in lavish bedding, while you’ll be able to store your belongings in the built-in wardrobe.
The family bathroom has a large walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, along with a heated towel rail, bathroom cabinet and shaving mirror.
A door from the kitchen opens out onto the private garden which showcases peace and tranquillity. Take a seat on the grassed area and enjoy the sounds of the countryside while you drink your morning coffee or treat yourself to a late tipple where you can watch the sky go dark and the clouds burn orange as evening turns to night.
