The property has been lovingly cared for and benefits from a generous well maintained private garden with gated access to the field behind."

Felton village, which is located roughly halfway between the market towns of Alnwick and Morpeth centres around "the Old bridge" dating from the 15th Century. During the period of the Wars of the Roses (1455 to 1487) armies of both sides repeatedly crossed the river at Felton. There may have been a wooden bridge by this time but the strategic importance of the crossing led to the construction of the present old stone bridge. In 1644, during the Civil War, the bridge narrowly escaped destruction when the Royalist army was retreating south. To hinder the pursuing Scottish army, it destroyed any bridges it crossed but when it reached Felton bridge, the women of the village prevented its destruction by frightening off the soldiers. Six years later the Parliamentarian army crossed the bridge on its way north to Scotland where it subsequently defeated the Scots at the Battle of Dunbar. The army was led by Oliver Cromwell. He is said to have stayed overnight in Felton at the Angel Inn.

The village also has an active community and parish and has a medieval church St Michael of All Angles with origins dating back to 12th Century.

Felton has a close and bustling community, with regular village events spread across the calendar. There are an array of amenities, these include:- a local church of England primary school rated as very good by a recent Ofsted rating; a village shop and post office; artisan bakery restaurant and newsagent- The Running Fox; 'The Northumberland Arms' a highly praised gastro pub with high-quality accommodation; a hairdressers and art gallery. There is a doctor's surgery, due to be relocated to the Bellway estate in the near future.
