A holiday home at your leisure

George F White has, in recent years, seen a considerable increase in the number of people investing in holiday homes and second homes, often as an alternative to investing in equities or pension schemes, and benefiting from the tax advantages that holiday home investments have over and above residential buy to let investments.

Two homes offering such potential are Daneshill Cottage and Pottery Cottage, situated at the foot of the Cheviot Hills and Ingram Valley, within the small hamlet of Branton, Northumberland.

Comprising first floor lounge and fitted kitchen/breakfasting room, three bedrooms with ensuite to master and family bathroom, Daneshill Cottage is on the market for offers in the region of £275,000.

Pottery Cottage is a traditional Northumbrian stone cottage and comprises two double bedrooms on the ground floor, with bathroom and shower and a first floor living room/kitchen area. This property is on the market for offers in the region of £169,950.

These homes differ somewhat from those usually advertised, coming as they do with a free year’s membership to the local leisure centre, which includes a heated indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna and lido facilities, courtesy of the vendor, who operates a very successful holiday business in Branton.
