Description

We are proud to welcome onto the market this beautiful Grade II listed cottage, currently being used as holiday let and set within the grounds of Lemmington Hall, an 18th-century country mansion situated near Edlingham in Northumberland. The cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy the country life, exploring Northumberland National Park as well as the charming coastline and also having the benefit of being only 4 miles from the pretty market town of Alnwick. The property oozes charm and character yet has all the contemporary facilities expected and is beautifully presented. The tranquil setting and stunning gardens provide a haven to relax and admire the idyllic, rural location, and there is the added attraction of white peacocks to appreciate as they wander freely around the estate. The one-bedroom cottage Thimble benefits from its own private parking area. The cottage is heated via a LPG gas tank serving three properties, benefits from mains electric and water, and shares a septic tank with the other Lemmington Hall Estate homes.

The sister cottage of Button, which is also for sale, Thimble Cottage is accessed by a similar style front door. It has the benefit of its own garden and parking, a lovely patio area to the front and a lawned area with mature planting.

This property also boasts a well equipped kitchen/diner with plenty of wall and base units, glass display units, an under bench fridge, an under bench electric oven, a four burner gas hob with a chimney-style extractor fan above, a fully integrated microwave, a fully integrated slimline dishwasher, a fully integrated washing machine, a Belfast sink and white brick-effect splashback tiling. There is room for a small dining table and chairs.

The windows are identical to those of Button Cottage in their styling, being original period cast-iron feature windows with a pretty diamond shape in the glass and deep window sills. The flooring is charming. The lounge area also has a partially exposed stone wall, a wood burner and a semi vaulted ceiling. Beautiful oak patio doors open onto a patio at the front of the property. Loft access is available from this room.

A further oak door with cottage-style handle leads to the double bedroom. Again, this room has delightful flooring, as well as an open fire, semi vaulted ceiling and two original windows.

The large Victorian-style bathroom also has a semi-vaulted ceiling, two original windows, a fully tiled floor, a claw-foot freestanding bath with shower taps and brick-style tiling around, a toilet with high-level cistern and a Savoy ceramic sink standing on a metal surround. There are lights either side and useful built-in glass shelves, creating a truly fabulous room.

Thimble has a lovely walled garden, planted in a cottage-style and with a good-sized lawn, next to it, where the stunning white peacocks like to take in the morning sun.

About Elizabeth Humphreys Homes, Swarland

Casey Lodge Park Road, Swarland, NE65 9JD

Elizabeth Humphreys Homes is something that I have forever wanted to do, it's always been in my heart. We have many years of experience in the housing industry, from new builds, park homes and residential and commercial sales. This means that we have control over the quality of service that we provide and how we want to provide it. We are all about customer service and not penny-pinching, we want the complete freedom to serve our clients in the best way possible. When our clients are selling probably the most expensive item that they will ever own, it is about getting the best price, value for money, and customer service alongside providing the best knowledge and getting the job done right.

We are all about the best of quality, best of knowledge, and providing this in a family-friendly way because the team here at Elizabeth Humphreys Homes is like a family.

We advertise all our listed properties on Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location, and On the Market, alongside our website and social media platforms. Marketing is a vital tool when it comes to selling properties, and we are dedicated to reaching as many potential buyers as possible.

Local knowledge and Recommendations for your Buyers

The Elizabeth Humphreys Homes team are your local Estate Agents, we live and work within the areas in which we are selling properties. We share personal knowledge of locations and recommend businesses that we trust and use personally.

360degree Tours

This is a vital part of our Marketing strategy as it allows potential buyers to walk through your property without setting foot in it. This gives them a feel for the property before viewing it in person. Everyone's first viewing of a property is online, therefore tours and photos must be of high quality so that potential buyers do not dismiss your property before viewing it (you will have done this yourself).

Professional Photography, Floorplans, and Drone Imagery

Great photography is a crucial part of the sale process when it comes to selling a property. We take wonderful photos ourselves or you can choose to upgrade your package to use our professional photographer which provides fantastic images of the properties which we sell.

Our floorplans are high quality, which gives highly accurate plans and allows potential buyers to see the layout of the property and envision where their furniture would go.

We offer drone imagery as an additional photography option. This is a great way of showcasing your property and its surroundings. We are happy to show examples of what has been previously produced.

"5 stars doesn't say enough for how good Liz and Ian are. From a house sale which had everything go wrong from start to finish you couldn't ask for a more dedicated team to try get it over the line. The house was listed and looked amazing. The 360 photos I think really gather interest and show the best of your house which nobody else seemed to be doing. The real service you get though is the constant pushing and chasing to get things done outside of the normal 9-5. You won't get this from another estate agent and without a doubt If we'd used anyone else the house sale would have fallen through. We can't thank Liz enough for all of this, but she really is the best around here and we wouldn't use anyone else if we decided to sell again in the near future." Jack Wayman

"We sold two properties with Elizabeth and purchased our new home with her (all at the same time). This was very stressful for us, but Elizabeth was calm and answered any questions we had. She was amazing from start to finish, went above any beyond and managed to achieve what other estate agents had failed at. Even on weekends and evenings Elizabeth was at the end of the phone and working hard to complete the sales and purchase for us. Elizabeth is not a 9-5 estate agent, she is a 9keys in your hand estate agent. I 100% recommend her services." Mr Tate. Registered with The Property Ombudsman.
