Part of a large country house in a private estate, this five bedroom property is presented in a warm Farrow and Ball colour scheme and is furnished to a high standard which combines both lovely period detailing with modern essentials.
With its lofty position there is no room that is without a spectacular view of the National Park or rolling farmland. The Bowmont Wing has an incredible feeling of space and light, with a' gigantic picture-window overlooking the 400 square mile National Park. The first floor has three very large double bedrooms, a twin room with views over the garden and two further bathrooms. The second floor has two double bedrooms, a new kitchen, family bathroom with huge bath and new shower room, together with a charming, well appointed sitting room with wood-burning stove, books, games, media and stunning view.
In the large walled garden, there is garden furniture on the terrace to eat out for ten and a charcoal barbecue. There is also a private dining area available to the side of The Bowmont Wing which can be made available on request.
The Bowmont Wing is an ideal bolt-hole for anyone wanting to ‘get away from it all' without being far from pubs, restaurants and local shops. Northumberland is officially England's quietest county and with very little traffic and noise pollution is the perfect place to unwind, relax, and enjoy the countryside. Alternatively why not indulge in a spot of star gazing - the area's unpolluted sky puts on England's best star show!
