Bolam: Have you heard about the prettiest house in the North? It’s up for rent while the owner, Adam Waugh, sets sail around the world. He built his own boat, called Little Wren, in his garden shed, and he’s never even done it before!
Adam’s taking on a huge adventure, sailing solo over 28,000 nautical miles. He’s also raising money for the Ella Dawson Foundation, which helps young adults dealing with cancer. Pretty inspiring, right?
His lovely four-bedroom farmhouse near Bolam, Northumberland, is now available for a 12-month lease. It’s a charming period property with stunning views of the countryside. You can’t beat that!
Sam Gibson, the agent, says it’s probably the prettiest rental in the North. The interiors are beautifully done, perfect for entertaining, and it has all the character you’d expect from a country home.
The house has two spacious reception rooms. The large sitting room features a high ceiling and a cozy stone fireplace. Plus, there’s a dining room and a nearly new kitchen with an oil-fired Aga. Sounds like a dream kitchen!
Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms, including a master with an en suite. The property also has a private drive, ample parking, and a lovely garden. It’s a peaceful spot with easy access to beautiful walks and historic sites.
Bolam Lake Country Park is just a short walk away, and the nearby towns of Morpeth and Ponteland offer great shopping and schools. Newcastle is only about 18 miles away, so you’re not too far from the city.
The rent is £2,250 a month, plus £150 for gardening from May to October. If you’re interested, reach out to Galbraith for more details!
