Description

Lauder Cottage is a beautifully presented family home, occupying a picturesque, elevated position with far-reaching views across the surrounding valley.
Dating back to the 1800's, this charming farm cottage, complete with adjoining converted barn, has been thoughtfully redesigned and enhanced to expertly combine the charm of the original cottage with carefully considered contemporary living spaces.

The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged to balance family living and practicality. At its heart lies an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, creating a bright and sociable space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, complete with underfloor heating and direct access to the gardens on both sides of the house through French doors. A separate living room provides a more intimate retreat, while the final reception room which is still being renovated offers flexibility as a guest bedroom, snug or playroom

Further enhancing the ground floor is a useful hobby room, which could also serve as an additional bedroom, complete with the possibility of its own en-suite. A utility room and further bathroom facilities again are being created as part of current renovations and they add to the home’s practicality. Beyond the utility room with internal access is the garage/workshop, perfect for storage or hobbies.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are also generously sized, each with their own en-suite facilities, providing excellent comfort and privacy for family members or guests.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. Gardens wrap around the home, offering privacy and a variety of seating and entertaining areas from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The garden includes a large shed and greenhouse, providing additional versatility. Modern additions include two electric vehicle charging points and a detached carport.

Lauder Cottage is a home that effortlessly blends character, flexibility, and modern convenience, all set within a beautiful and highly desirable setting.

High Mickley is a highly desirable rural hamlet of Stocksfield, in the heart of the Tyne Valley. Renowned for its elevated position, the area enjoys far-reaching panoramic views across open countryside, creating a peaceful and scenic setting that is particularly attractive to buyers seeking a balance between privacy and accessibility.
