The Quiet Village Life You've Been Dreaming Of Is Right Here. A spacious and versatile bungalow with a log burner lounge and a large south-facing garden. In a pretty Northumberland village, just 5 mins from Rothbury and 10 mins from the National Park.

There's a particular kind of morning that only happens when you live somewhere like this. No traffic noise, no rushing about, just the sun-trap back garden, the Simonside hills in the distance and nowhere you really need to be. That's not a holiday feeling here - it's just a Tuesday.

Thropton sits in the Coquetdale valley, with views towards Simonside and the kind of village pace that genuinely slows you down. The Three Wheat Heads pub is a short walk away, there's a Spar for the essentials, and Rothbury - with its independent shops, cafés and riverside walks - is only five minutes away in the car.

And when you want to blow the cobwebs away, the National Park is just through nearby Hepple - less than ten minutes from the door.

The bungalow itself is set back from the road on a quiet cul-de-sac, with a gravel drive that takes several cars leading up to a built in single garage alongside.

The layout makes sense - with a wide hallway, everything on one level and a choice of rooms that all feel properly proportioned.

The lounge has patio doors opening to the garden, but your eyes go straight to the cast iron log burner in the winter the cosy stove gets lit and you're not going anywhere.

The kitchen has sage-green shaker units, solid wood worktops, a range cooker and a window that looks out over the garden - it's the kind of kitchen that makes cooking or baking a joy. There's also a separate utility room, which keeps the laundry and practical stuff out of sight.

Three double bedrooms give the bungalow real flexibility. The main bedroom is a good size with fitted wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room.

There’s another two double bedrooms and a separate study - fitted floor-to-ceiling with shelving and a wrap-around desk - which could be transformed into a fourth bedroom if you need it.

The family bathroom has a shower over the bath with shower over, subway tiling and a heated towel rail.

The garden at the back is the final piece of the puzzle. South-facing, with decking directly off the lounge, a large lawn, well-stocked borders and a greenhouse for anyone with green fingers.

If you've been searching for a single storey home where the countryside stops being a weekend destination and starts to become the backdrop to your everyday life, this is a very good place to stop searching.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing - properties in villages like this don't come up often, and this one will get plenty of interest.
