An extended and completely upgraded former shepherd’s cottage

Carter View looked quite different when Ben and

Lilian Redman bought it in 1999, having been

completely captivated by its quiet, peaceful

setting down a leafy lane - and stunning views

of the Carter Bar and Cheviot Hills.

Back then it was a traditional, white painted, threebedroomed country cottage – originally a shepherd’scottage belonging to a local estate. “It needed a bit of TLCwhen we bought it, but the feeling of light and space inthe house, coupled with the outstanding location, madeit irresistible,” says Ben.

Since then, the Redmans have comprehensively upgradedthe property – rewiring, new oil-fired central heatingsystem, cavity wall insulation and double glazing included.The property has also almost doubled in size from theoriginal, with the addition of a two-storey west wing.

“We also extended up into the cottage attic space andcreated a 30ft studio bedroom with dormer windows toboth the front and rear,” Ben adds. The result is a modernfive bedroomed family home designed to maximise itsunique selling point – the views.

Storage is plentiful and includes accessible attic/eavesstorage. Outside, the rear garden is sheltered and includesa paved/pebbled area adjacent to the house, lawn withplanted borders and mature trees, raised vegetablebeds, side patio, garden shed and store.
