The property, known as Cockshaw House, is located a short distance from Hexham town centre.

The stone building, dating back to the late 1700s, is believed to have originally been a Hatter's house and workshop.

It is "full of character and charm", according to estate agent Finest Properties, and features beamed ceilings, sash windows and inglenook fireplaces.

It also offers a dual aspect sitting room equipped with a multi fuel stove, and a kitchen with an open plan dining room.
