Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our home is a large, old detached house on the edge of a village in the county of Northumberland in northern England. We are very close to the lovely market town of Hexham and 40 kilometres from the city of Newcastle upon Tyne.

Our house is on two floors. There are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Downstairs are the living room, dining room, large kitchen and the utility room. There is also a toilet and a porch. The house measures 140 square metres.

The house has all modern facilities, even though it was originally built in about 1850.

We have two gardens, one out to the front and one to the side, through a gate where there are several fruit trees.

We also have a garage which we use to store bicycles and a canoe.

We have a private driveway for parking two cars.

Within our village is a small shop that also has petrol pumps. There is a pub within ½ kilometre that serves good food.

There is a short walk of 400 metres to the banks of the South Tyne River.

There is a regular bus service into Hexham and Newcastle nearby.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Newcastle is the cultural centre for the region with Theatres, Art Galleries, Cinemas and Museums. There is also a vibrant nightlife with pubs and restaurants along the quayside. Major shopping outlets are located in Eldon Square and the Metro Centre. Newcastle has been named as the No.1 city to visit in the World for 2018! https://www.roughguides.com/best-places-to-travel/the-rough-guide-to-2018/

We live in an archaeological significant area. Hadrian’s Wall is very close. We live on the Stanegate, the route of a Roman road. There are forts and visitor centres for Hadrian’s Wall at Housesteads, the Sill, Corbridge and other places.

Northumberland National Park is close by, offering wilderness, walking and Kielder Reservoir. The Northumberland Coast with numerous castles and Holy Island are within 1 hour’s drive.

The city of Durham is less than an hour away with its famous Norman Cathedral, castle and setting.

Newcastle Airport is 30 minutes away. Hexham has a train station.

The beautiful Lake District is only 90 minutes away and is famous for its large lakes in a mountainous setting.

We regularly travel further afield by train. Edinburgh is 1 hour north of Newcastle (and 2 hours by car). London is 3 hours south of Newcastle by train.

We have four bikes (mountain and trail bikes) that you are welcome to use.

We also have a canoe and all equipment that you could also use. The canoe would need to be transported on top of a car and is suitable for flat water.
