A rare Northumbrian smallholding centred on a c.1702 stone farmhouse, a two‑bed cottage and extensive outbuildings, set in about 21.79 acres of pasture, meadow and amenity woodland. The steading already supports upland grazing, hay meadow and a successful past holiday let; Solar PV on an outbuilding presently generates export income.
The farmhouse and attached cottage retain strong period character — exposed beams, stone inglenooks and traditional doors — and provide versatile accommodation across large rooms. Services include mains electric, private water (UV filtered) and private drainage; heating is mixed (multi‑fuel stove/back boiler, electric storage heaters and boiler), and the farmhouse EPC is D.
The buildings and land offer genuine diversification and development potential: workshops, garage and traditional stone ranges could be extended or adapted (subject to planning/consents) for extra living accommodation, holiday lets or small equestrian use. The location sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty yet remains accessible to nearby market towns and services.
Buyers should note material points plainly: much of the fabric is historic and uninsulated stonework, some retrofit and modernisation will be needed for energy efficiency and comfort. Any conversion or change of use of farm buildings requires the necessary consents. A public footpath and byway cross the holding and parts of the land are Grade 4 agricultural classification.
