Stonecrop Cottage

The Space
Stonecrop Cottage is a fabulous detached stone cottage created from a former 19th century granary with stunning views across the Coquet Valley. Nestling in the picturesque village of Alwinton it stands amongst some of the most outstandingly beautiful and unspoilt countryside in Northumberland. Stonecrop Cottage has charm and tranquillity in abundance.

As you walk into the hallway, head to the right and you’ll find the bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The bedroom is a clean and bright space featuring a comfy double bed and contemporary lighting which hangs above the space. Patterned wallpaper contrasts perfectly with the white-painted stone walls within the neutral colour scheme. A traditional tall wardrobe and exposed wooden flooring complete the room and add even more charm.

In the ensuite bathroom you’ll find grey floor tiles and sleek silver hardware. The room features a bathtub with overhead shower and a cherry red, gloss vanity cabinet.

Head back to the entrance hallway, to the left and you’ll discover the open plan kitchen and living area. With high ceilings and peaceful views out onto the private garden, this space is very impressive. Relax on the eclectic, leather sofa with a book or switch on the flat screen TV to catch up on your favourite shows.

The shaker kitchen creates a cosy feel which contrasts beautifully with the striking red walls. You’ll have everything you need for your stay as the kitchen is equipped with a whole host of modern appliances.

Enjoy meals at the dining table for up to four – whether it’s breakfast after a lazy morning or an evening dinner with your loved one.

From the living space, you can open up the sliding door into the conservatory which, in turn, leads to the garden. In the summer months, sit in the conservatory, which boasts a second dining space, and let the heat drift in.
