The Property
Dating back to 1857, Rothley Cottage is a charming, terraced home nestled in the tranquil village of Catton, Northumberland. Recently renovated to an exceptional standard with a no-expense-spared approach, this beautifully restored cottage features a delightful cottage garden set against a picturesque rural setting. Period properties refurbished to such exceptional quality are rare, making this cottage a unique find.
Inside, limestone flagstones run throughout the ground floor, and the spaces have been thoughtfully designed to preserve the cottage’s rustic character while introducing modern amenities. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor adds an extra layer of comfort.
The sitting room is west facing and showcases a striking wood-burning stove set within an original stone inglenook fireplace, a perfect focal point for cosy evenings.
The adjoining open-plan kitchen/diner is equally charming, blending exposed stonework and original oak beams. The kitchen is well appointed with ample shaker-style cabinetry and high-end integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. The dining space at the rear of the cottage benefits from bi-fold doors and Velux windows, which fill the room with natural light and offer views of the rear courtyard and the open countryside beyond.
The first floor features two generously sized and neatly decorated double bedrooms, both with ample storage space provided by built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom is particularly characterful, with vaulted ceilings, A-frame trusses, mezzanine storage, and an inglenook fireplace. The second bedroom offers a charming blend of exposed stone walls and a light, airy feel. The luxury family bathroom is finished to a high standard, with a bath, separate shower, and a heated towel radiator.
Externally
Rothley Cottage is set behind a traditional stone wall, with a beautiful cottage garden and well-maintained lawn and decorative planting. Off-road parking for two vehicles is available at the front, with additional parking at the rear. The front garden offers outdoor seating areas, where you can bask in the daytime sun and enjoy the glorious sunsets in the evenings.
To the rear, a low-maintenance, enclosed courtyard is paved with flagstones. The courtyard is a peaceful and private space for outdoor dining and relaxation, offering lovely views over the open countryside. The sunlit courtyard is complemented by two stone outbuildings, ideal for additional storage.

Third-Party Cookies From Content Shared By Members: PropertyHeads members may share content on PropertyHeads that originates from a third-party website or service, and that third-party website or service may set its own cookies when you interact with that content.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
