Set within the North Pennines AONB, this converted barn offers panoramic countryside views and about 1.8 acres of attached land — rare for village homes. The living space blends stone character with modern fittings: an open-plan living/dining/kitchen with bi-fold doors, a master bedroom with ensuite and Juliet balcony, plus a terrace with a wood-fired hot tub for countryside entertaining.
Eco-features include solar panels and a car charging port, reducing running costs; the property has an EPC C rating. Practical benefits include off-street parking, low local crime and good local schools within easy reach, making this a sensible choice for families who want space and rural access without complete isolation.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house uses oil-fired central heating (no gas), the stone walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), and much glazing was installed before 2002. Broadband data conflicts in the listing — fast service is claimed but a “very slow” speed entry also appears, so confirm internet performance before purchase.
Overall, this is a comfortable, characterful three-bedroom semi with significant outdoor space and modern eco-additions. It will suit buyers seeking rural lifestyle and scope for incremental improvements rather than a turnkey urban apartment.
