The property
Brisbane cottage is a semi-detached stone fronted property with accommodation over two floors. The property has been beautifully decorated in neutral shades making good use of pastel colours and the open plan living room/ kitchen dining area with French doors out to the garden gives a good sense of space. This cottage is full of surprises not least the impressive master bedroom with unusual beamed ceiling and the dining kitchen which features a handmade terra cotta tiled floor. The position of the cottage ensures that the gardens to the rear are flooded with sun light thanks to the south facing aspect with fabulous open outlooks over the adjoining farmland, taking in the Cheviots in the distance.

Ground Floor Accommodation
The traditional entrance door with glazed upper panels opens into a warm and welcoming hallway with a useful cloaks cupboard off. Located to the front of the property is the third bedroom which is ideal for those that require a bedroom on the ground floor; equally this room would easily lend itself to use as a home office if preferred. The living room which is tastefully presented in neutral pastel colours creates a good impression of space with a contemporary feature wall, electric flame effect fire and shelved recess. A step from the rear of the living room leads into the open plan dining kitchen which features a handmade Mexican terra cotta tiled floor and an excellent range of shaker style beech effect units complete with Belfast style sink, ample worktops and tiled splash backs. This open plan living/kitchen area has been thoughtfully planned and really creates an excellent hub with ample space within the kitchen area for a family dining table. The side windows in addition to the French doors leading out to the rear garden ensure excellent light levels as well as fabulous outlooks to the south.

Upper Accommodation
The space on the upper floor is equally surprising with the master bedroom featuring an interesting beamed ceiling which offers something of a surprise element creating the impression of a bay window with a range of windows overlooking the garden to the countryside and the distant Cheviot Hills. The main bedroom has stripped and varnished floorboards and an unusual internal window. The second bedroom is equally spacious with two sash and case windows overlooking the village and an over stairs cupboard not to mention an original decorative fire place. The contemporary shower room is fitted with an extra sized shower and non-slip flooring, white painted walls and heritage style fittings.
