Is It Still A Secret Garden If We Tell Everyone About It? This chain free Grade II listed cottage comes with a small yard with space to sit out and an amazing 40m private and leafy garden behind the back lane. In a quiet village that’s just 10 mins from Morpeth.

There are gardens, and then there are gardens that take your breath away a little. The kind that have been planted and tended and thought about for decades, where every corner has something to discover and the whole thing feels genuinely private.

That’s the kind of garden you're buying here.

The cottage itself is Grade II Listed, stone built and sits on the main street through the village.

Inside, the ground floor has a sitting room with an open brick fireplace and space for both a dining table and a three piece. The fitted kitchen at the back is perfectly functional but at the same time is ready for someone to make it their own.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms - the main bedroom is a proper double, with a feature fireplace and room for freestanding wardrobes either side of the chimney breast. The second bedroom is smaller, with fitted louvred wardrobes. The bathroom has a traditional suite - just like the kitchen you may choose to update it as one of your first projects.

Back outside, the small rear yard is a sheltered gravel spot with room for a bistro table and a chair.

Cross the back lane and the garden opens up - around 40m metres of mature, deeply planted private space with a lawn running through blossom trees, specimen conifers, acers, and borders that turn bluebell-blue in season. A bench sits quietly to one side. There's nowhere else you'd rather be on a nice day.

The three stone outbuildings are a bonus, with space for bikes, mowers etc.

Longhirst itself has a real community feel about it - with Longhirst Hall and the Grade II listed St John's Church anchoring the village.

Morpeth is ten minutes away in the car, with its independent shops, restaurants, riverside walks and leisure centre. The X18 bus picks up a few doors down and gets you into Morpeth in fifteen minutes, or you can head north along the coast as far as Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Morpeth station is on the East Coast Mainline - meaning Newcastle is comfortably within reach for commuters, and Edinburgh isn't as far as it sounds.

This charming chain-free cottage gives you a village address and a garden that took decades of love and care to grow.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing - I’m expecting real interest in this one.
