What we love about Overgrass Mill Cottage & Longframlington.
We love this chocolate box pretty cottage, the location is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful. The cottage is stylish, spacious, yet cosy. Ideal for lovers of nature and peace, yet, not too far out of the way for access to great amenities and services.
The immediate neighbours are sheep, roe deer, badgers, owls, foxes, a lot of special wildlife.
There’s still scope to extend and enhance the cottage further (subject to the relevant planning permissions) as well as taking advantage of the south facing aspect to add solar panels.
