Secret Cottage In A Beautiful Walled Garden

Ryton, County Durham

Located in Ryton, County Durham in the North of England, The Grove Estate offers a picturesque English country house experience. The Bothy, a former gardener's cottage, is part of the estate's beautifully preserved Victorian walled garden with original glasshouses and orangery. The cottage has been recently refurbished to include modern insulation and facilities while retaining its original working fireplace and pretty sliding sash windows.

Surrounded by manicured lawns, woodlands, lakes, and open parkland leading down to the River Tyne, The Bothy provides a secluded retreat with daily visits from deer, badgers, foxes, kites, and kestrels. The living room offers views across the walled garden, while the kitchen opens out to a terrace and barbecue area overlooking the orchard and river. A galleried bedroom with antique brass bedstead and exposed beams provides a cozy sleeping space, along with a modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom, and central heating for comfort in all seasons.

Despite its secluded location, The Bothy is only a short walk from local pubs, restaurants, and shops, with regular bus services nearby for easy access to The Metrocentre and Newcastle. Ryton's proximity to Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland coast, English Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and Scottish border country make it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding areas. With its blend of historic charm and modern amenities, The Bothy offers a tranquil escape in the heart of the North of England. Life Science Centre and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Discovery Museum are also nearby attractions worth visiting.
