Backworth Letch Cottage, Kiln Pit Hill

Constructed in the mid 1800s within the Minsteracres Estate, this cottage comes to the market as an individual property for the first time in its history. Backworth Letch Cottage is a charming two bedroom detached property set within a generous 0.31 acre plot, offering single-storey living in a rural setting with excellent road links. The garden enjoys spectacular views across the surrounding countryside, taking in Greymare Hill Plantation to the east and, on a clear day, the Cheviot Hills to the north.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over one floor, comprising two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a bathroom. The modern kitchen diner, flooded with natural light from a large rooflight window, creates a bright and sociable space for everyday living. The generous living room is warmed by a multi-fuel stove, providing a cosy focal point during the colder months and the flexibility to burn logs or smokeless fuel. Heating and hot water are supplied by an oil fired boiler, while double-glazed windows help keep the cottage warm and energy-efficient year-round. Additional storage is provided by a boarded loft.

Externally, the cottage sits within a substantial plot that includes ample driveway parking and a generous garden, offering plenty of scope for outdoor entertaining and gardening. 

Kiln Pit Hill enjoys a convenient rural location, with Newcastle city centre approximately a 30 minute drive away, Corbridge is 12 minutes by car, and Hexham a 20 minute drive, making this an ideal base for those seeking countryside living without compromising on accessibility.
