Set in spacious grounds with lawns,shrubs, summer house and barbecue, and bounded on one side by the beautiful Kale Water, it has fabulous open views to the surrounding rounded green hills so much a feature of this upland Border valley. Steeped in history this unspoiled settlement of Hownam has an active church and village hall life. Sheep, cattle and ponies graze the fields. The area is renowned for its Roman sites (including Dere Street) and Iron-age forts. Close by are the Pennine Way and St Cuthbert’s Way leading to Holy Island. This is a beautiful peaceful area for those who desire a retreat; quiet or invigorating - you choose! Wonderful hill walking and mountain biking for the more energetic.
