If country walks are your thing then you can't go wrong with this cute little home in the village of Fourstones. Surrounded by the dramatic rolling hills of the South Tyne Valley, it's a remote rural escape with all the comforts of home. Just a five-minute drive from Hadrian's Wall, you'll be in an elevated position overlooking farmland. Inside, this place is as warm and cosy as you would imagine, with an electric fire in the living room and comfortable, modern furnishings. There's plenty of character in the form of vaulted ceilings and wooden beams, but there's nothing rustic about it. Its swish kitchen is bigger than most and features high-spec appliances. And if you're bringing your dog, you'll have a pretty, enclosed garden and a terrace for sitting outdoors in the summer. Here you'll be just a ten-minute drive from the market town of Hexham with all its shops and restaurants.
