2 High Norland In 1991 the owners of High Norland found the perfect spot to build their ideal home when they were presented with an opportunity to acquire a superb plot with outstanding views of the Coquet Valley. We couldn t resist, a better location is hard to imagine, and the setting is everything we wanted and more. Having already designed the house when we discovered the plot, it had to be modified to make it the perfect fit. It s every Norwegian s dream to build their own house and it was amazing to see our vision become a reality. A year later our well insulated, Scandinavian inspired eco house was ready to move into. When it came to naming the house we considered its surroundings, High as it is set on a hillside and Norland embraces our heritage, Nor signifying Norway and land, England. The views are fabulous to enjoy and we have the good fortune of being able to admire the Coquet Valley and River with the hills beyond. In the winter months you can see snow on the mountains in the distance it is simply breathtaking. The plot itself is spectacular, during the summer months you can follow the sun around the garden, from the moment it rises until the last rays of the evening. Inside, the lounge is a favourite of ours; it s a wonderful, elegant room. Christmases here have been a joy, we have a massive tree and with a roaring fire it is truly magical. The space has allowed us to share our home, and Northumberland, with friends and family from far and wide. Rothbury is a pleasant walk away and a lovely peaceful place, the village has an active community with plenty of things to do for all ages and interests. The golf course is close by and provides a splendid view. Ideal walking country is on the doorstep as well as fishing, and sledging in the winter-time is fun for the whole family. The much anticipated high speed broad band is finally on its way. We feel extremely proud to have to have built this house and privileged to call it home. The view is to die for and the setting is dramatically beautiful and tranquil. It will be a tremendous wrench to leave this place behind, it s such a warm and sunny home that has provided us with luxury and warmth for 21 glorious years. * * These comments are the personal views of the current owners and are included as an insight into life at the property.
