The property
Boasting spectacular views to the south towards The Cheviots, ‘Cinnamon House’ enjoys an idyllic location just on the outskirts of the village. This thoughtfully planned detached property was completed in 2009 and offers a flexible layout allowing the accommodation to adapt to different requirements. The open plan living accommodation on the ground floor works particularly well and incorporates a lounge and dining kitchen; of particular note is the lounge which features a vaulted style ceiling with velux windows which ensure plenty of natural light whilst the French doors allow direct access to the gardens. The gardens which extend to the south side of the property are established with an array of trees and shrubs, ensuring colour and interest throughout the year.
