Situated in the charming village of Blanchland within the North Pennines National Landscape, this Grade II listed cottage, extending to approximately 1,472 sq ft, presents a unique opportunity for restoration and modernization. The property, dating back to the mid-18th century with elements possibly tracing back to medieval times related to Blanchland Abbey, offers ample room sizes that are seldom found in similar historic homes. With Listed Building Consent already secured for extensive repairs and improvements—including plans for an open-plan kitchen diner—this home is ready for a transformative project that allows new owners to tailor it to their vision. The interior features three bedrooms (the third accessed via the second), spacious living areas including a sizable ground floor lounge and dining room with original open fires, perfect for installation of log burners (subject to consent). Currently lacking a central heating system, the approved renovations also include provisions for an air source heat pump, although additional permissions may be necessary. The outdoor space provides a large rear garden along with a single garage and driveway parking—a rare find in this village setting. Blanchland is celebrated as one of the North East's most picturesque villages, offering local amenities such as the esteemed Lord Crewe Arms Hotel and various shops. Recreational opportunities abound nearby at Derwent Reservoir, while Hexham and Consett are around 25 minutes away for further shopping and services. This cottage represents an exceptional chance for those looking to engage in a characterful renovation journey in one of Northumberland's most desirable historic locales.
