The property is in close proximity to the town centre of Wooler which sits on the edge of the National Park of Northumberland, known as "The Gateway to the Cheviots", which is popular with walkers in search of spectacular scenery.

Wooler became a market town in 12th Century and was an important centre of the woollen industry, renowned for its sheep shearing and the sale of wool. It was considered to be equal in importance to towns such as Newcastle and Alnwick and in the thirteenth century was one of the richest townships in Northumberland. Wooler (originally Wulloure in 1187) comes from Old English wella-ofa which meant stream bank, referring to the Wooler water. Today a whisky distillery Ad Gefrin is being built along side the river. Through the ages people came to Wooler for wellness reasons due to its clean mountain air and as a health resort. One such, was Grace Darling (1815-1842) who came to cure her consumption. Wooler is still known for having the cleanest air quality and some of the clearest night skies.

The town has an excellent range of facilities to cater for the residents and year-round tourists who visit Wooler. Amenities include a selection of high street shops, supermarkets, butchers, bakers, cafs, hotels and restaurants. The town has two schools, a doctor and veterinary practice and the nearest hospital is just 16 miles away. Wooler offers varied sporting and leisure activities including a golf course, football, cricket, bowling, running, tennis and badminton clubs plus its own swimming pool.

The surrounding Cheviot Hills is renowned for offering many of the best walks in Britain, Humbleton Hill, Hedgehope, and Harehope being favourites among walkers. Spectacular castles of Berwick, Bamburgh and Alnwick are within easy reach, as is Holy Island. The golden sandy beach of Bamburgh considered by Which in an eye tracking survey carried out by Kuoni Travel is considered as one of the top 6 beaches in the world and is located just 15 miles away.
