Ever Dreamt of a Home Where the Hills are Alive with the Sound of... Absolutely Nothing?

South Side Cottages, Netherton, Morpeth, NE65 7EZ

2-4 Bedrooms | Detached Garage | Two Gardens | Countryside Views | Endless Charm

Welcome to South Side Cottages - your very own slice of the good life, nestled in the sleepy hamlet of Netherton, where the air is fresher, the views are grander, and your only real neighbours might be the odd pheasant, deer or passing sheep.

This is countryside living done right - without sacrificing comfort, character, or convenience. Whether you're a walker, wildlife watcher, work-from-homer, or just someone looking to trade traffic noise for birdsong, this flexible two-to-four bed gem has your name on it (figuratively, of course - though a nice brass nameplate wouldn't go amiss).

Property Highlights:

Cosy yet spacious lounge with a showstopping stone fireplace and log-burning stove - guaranteed to win at 'cosiest corner' awards.

Large picture window and door providing access from the lounge to the garden - swing it open, breathe in the fresh country air, grab a glass of your favourite tipple, and settle into the patio as the soundtrack of birdsong, rustling trees, and distant baa-ing replaces the usual chaos.

Three versatile reception rooms - use them as bedrooms, studies, snugs, or home yoga studios (downward dog with a view, anyone?).

Bright and functional kitchen with granite worktops, under-unit lighting, countryside views, and everything you need for your next sourdough experiment.

Two upstairs bedrooms with Velux windows - fall asleep under the stars, wake up to uninterrupted green.

Traditional features throughout - lovely old doors, original quirks, and a general sense that this house has stories to tell.

Detached single garage - store your car, bikes, kayaks, or excessive garden tools.

Two large lawned gardens - the rear is south-facing and absolutely made for summer BBQs and lazy Sundays.

Patio area with those postcard-worthy rolling hill views - the Instagram potential is real.

Surrounded by the Cheviot Hills & Northumberland National Park - hikers, bikers, and dog walkers rejoice

Close to the River Coquet - one of England's most unspoiled rivers, perfect for fishing or just daydreaming
