About this property
Corner House is a lovely house positioned in Wark, Northumberland, offering an ideal base for couples and pairs seeking intimate countryside exploration. Two bedrooms—one king-size and one single—provide flexible sleeping arrangements, whilst a dedicated sitting room centred around a woodburning stove invites you to linger by flickering flames on cooler evenings. The shower room delivers practical efficiency with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC.
What sets Corner House apart is its prime village positioning: the shop and pub sit a mere stroll away, eliminating any need to venture far for provisions or a meal out. Central heating ensures year-round comfort, and roadside parking accommodates your vehicle with ease. The enclosed garden and patio, furnished and ready for use, become your own peaceful sanctuary—perfect for morning tea or evening contemplation as day fades over the Northumberland landscape.
Wark occupies a strategic pocket within one of England's most historically layered regions. Hexham, an elegant market town mere miles distant, showcases its magnificent medieval abbey and thriving independent retail scene, ideal for couples seeking cultural immersion and authentic shopping. The town's riverside setting and atmospheric streets reward unhurried exploration. Corbridge, equally accessible, presents Roman heritage at Corstopitum and its own charming market square lined with galleries, antique dealers, and cafés perfectly suited to browsing couples. For those drawn to landscape and legend, Hadrian's Wall stretches nearby—this UNESCO World Heritage monument offers trails ranging from gentle riverside walks to ambitious ridge hikes, each revealing stunning vistas across the Pennines.
Whether you arrive seeking history, countryside serenity, or simply a retreat where two can reconnect away from everyday noise, Corner House delivers authentic Northumbrian hospitality with genuine character and convenient access to the region's finest offerings.
Wark is a delightful village surrounded by beautiful unspoilt Northumbrian countryside, on the edge of the National Park. Wark offers much of interest, including shops, a gothic style church and good quality restaurants. Hadrian’s Wall and Housesteads Fort are nearby, whilst the market town of Hexham is a ten mile drive and is well worth a visit, with its narrow bustling streets, good selection of shops and a fascinating abbey boasting 15th century paintings and a fine Saxon crypt. The Border Country, Northumbrian coast, Kielder Forest with cycling and watersports, Beamish Open Air Museum and Durham Cathedral are all within easy motoring distance, while the Gateshead Metro Centre (one of the largest shopping centres in Europe) can be reached within an hour. Suitable for year-round holidays, this unspoilt area with its fishing, horse riding, abundant wildlife and superb walking country is a nature lover’s dream.
