An exciting opportunity to acquire a beautiful, three bedroom semi-detached home in the idyllic village of Kielder, Northumberland. The property has been a loving home for the past few years and with some recent improvements since purchasing, the owner is ready to pass this wonderful home onto the next lucky person. Once upon a time, 28 Castle Drive was a successful holiday let, with an approximate annual income of £15,000, therefore the cottage may appeal to similar minded investors.

Outside, a small lawn graces the front of the property, accompanied by a gate on the side, allowing access to the rear garden. Here, nature unfolds in all its glory, as the beautifully landscaped space reveals an abundance of wild flowers and meadows, offering a serene retreat.
