Rural jewel in north Northumberland

A delightful two bedroom single storey terraced cottage with beautiful garden in a quiet village setting.

Smiths Gore’s Berwick Office are marketing 3 Ancroft Town Farm Cottages, a charming terrace stone built cottage with a mature and attractive garden, situated in a peaceful village setting in Ancroft, six miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The cottage provides well proportioned accommodation combining period charm, such as beamed ceilings, open fireplaces and belted and braced internal doors, with modern kitchen and bathroom suites, double glazing and oil fired central heating. The property is tastefully decorated throughout and provided with neutral carpets.

Externally, the cottage has a delightful rear garden, laid principally to lawn with flowering and shrub borders and mature fruit trees, together with a timber shed and an artists studio or summer house, ideal for working from home.

Ancroft is a charming village with an interesting history, having been lain waste to by the Scots in the fourteenth century, despite its Anglican church, the church of St. Anne's, fortified in the thirteenth century with a large tower at one end, giving it the appearance of a castle. More recently, it appears that Queen Anne’s army housed their bootmakers in Ancroft in the early eighteenth century.

Nearby Berwick-upon-Tweed is a vibrant market town with a wide range of shops and services as well as a main line railway station with regular services to London, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Edinburgh. The A1(T) bypass also ensures that the cities of Edinburgh (55 miles) and Newcastle-upon-Tyne (60 miles) are easily accessible for shopping, leisure and employment.

James Abbott, selling agent at Smiths Gore’s Berwick Office says: “Ancroft Town Farm Cottages is a row of delightful picture book cottages, set in rural farmland and Number Three is an exceptionally presented example.”

“The garden is delightful and the artist’s studio would make a super home office or workshop.”

3 Ancroft Town Farm Cottages is marketed with a guide price of £190,000
