1 Bed in Catton (oc-b31984)

Set on a working hill farm and surrounded by the rolling hills of the North Pennines, an area of outstanding natural beauty, this peaceful escape is an ideal spot for nature lovers, bird watchers and walkers. Nature lovers will adore the dark skies, the birdsong and the sheep and cattle that graze the adjacent fields – not to mention the variety of public footpaths from your door. For shops, pubs and restaurants, head into the picturesque village of Allendale, just 3 miles away, or the historic market town of Hexham, 9.5 miles, where you’ll find the fascinating Hexham Abbey and Old Gaol. The town is also home to an arts centre, racecourse, Art Deco cinema, weekly market and a fabulous foodie scene. Roman sites nearby include Vindolanda Roman Fort and Museum, Corbridge Roman Town and Museum, Housesteads Roman Fort, and Carrawburg Fort and the Temple of Mithras, all within 14 miles.


Drive through country lanes in this natural landscape, then along a farm track to reach the tranquil farm. There is a private gate to ensure complete privacy at your cottage, where you’ll find a parking space. Enter through the porch, where you can hang coats and leave muddy boots after an all-day walk, and head into the spacious garden room, the hub of the home. This appealing space has comfortable seating on which to relax with a good book and a cup of coffee and is a wonderful place in which to gaze at the views across meadows (filled with flowers in early summer) to the fells of Allendale. At night time, watch the stars come out in the impressively dark sky above – an unforgettable experience best viewed through the glass roof. From here, step into the lounge/diner, a spacious room with plenty of cosy seating, a Smart TV and DVD player. With books and games on the shelves, including a chess set, there is plenty to keep you entertained, and a large dining table for leisurely meals. There’s also a desk where, if necessary, you could catch up with some work with hyper fast broadband. The compact kitchen offers everything necessary for whipping up tasty meals, including a microwave and a dishwasher. The shower room leads off the conservatory and, completing this single-storey retreat, is the generously sized bedroom, where there’s a king-size bed and a single, plus ample clothes storage and a reading/dressing table. From this room you’ll have views across a deep ravine to Whitfield Fell in the north and a wooded valley to the west.


To the front of the property, a patio-style space includes seating for occasional drinks or an al fresco meal: perfect for sitting back and watching the local birds, which include lapwings and curlews, or enjoying the beautiful dark skies at night.
