Townfoot Cottage

About this property

A delightful Grade II listed property, in a wonderful peaceful setting, on the edge of the village of Elsdon. Townfoot Cottage adjoins the owner's farmhouse and was originally an old farm cow byre. Decorated, equipped and furnished to very high standards throughout, the cottage has retained much character with rugs over stone flagged and wooden floors. The bathroom has an L-shaped shower bath, offering the best of both - a proper shower with glass hinged shower door, and a spacious deep bath for long hot soaks after a days walking. A tall chrome towel radiator keeps the room toasty warm. The cottage enjoys views over Elsdon Burn towards the hills beyond, and is excellently situated for enjoying a variety of walks, including Hadrian's Wall, coastal paths and the Cheviot and Simonside hills. Boasting lots of activities for the outdoors enthusiasts to enjoy, the area is great for watersports and fishing. Also secure storage is available for those bringing bikes on which to explore this lovely part of the world and enjoy the many cycle routes and mountain biking trails in the area. A warm and comfortable retreat from which to discover this ancient and fascinating area. Elsdon’s pub, the ‘Bird in Bush’ is only five minutes’ walk away and is right on the village green. It is open most days for food and drink.

The unspoilt village of Elsdon lies in a protected hollow amid beautiful fells, woodland and moorland in the heart of the Cheviots on the edge of the Northumberland National Park. The area is rich with history, and there are many listed sites in this community, overshadowed by the fortified Pele Tower. The village green is a charming feature of Elsdon, and there is a pub that dates back to the 18th century that retains a truly olde worlde atmosphere. A good choice of shops is available in the market town of Rothbury just 10 miles away, and there is much to explore in the surrounding area including the Coast to Coast Walk and alternative Pennine Way which passes though. A National Cycle Route runs by for those who love to explore the countryside on two wheels.
