Summary - Blackcleugh Farm, Carrshield, HEXHAM NE47 8AE
5 bed 1 bath Land
Expansive riverfront acreage with traditional farmhouse and conversion potential.
Ring‑fenced upland farm circa 108 acres (43.8 ha)
Black Cleugh Farm is a rare ring‑fenced upland farmstead with c.108 acres and around 1,080m (two‑thirds of a mile) of the River West Allen running along its boundary. Set in the North Pennines AONB, the substantial sandstone farmhouse sits prominently above the valley with wide pastoral and moorland views. The house has been recently restored and benefits from double glazing, a wood‑chip boiler, solar panels and a private water supply with UV filtration for low running costs and improved sustainability.
The farm offers immediate lifestyle appeal for those seeking privacy, outdoor recreation and environmental value, as well as clear scope for commercial use or diversification. The traditional steading and outbuildings provide storage and informal animal housing now, and—subject to planning—represent potential conversion opportunities, including re‑seeking historic consent to attach an outlying stone building. Part of the holding falls within an SSSI and the land is currently not entered into any environmental scheme, offering a blank canvas for future stewardship or subsidy applications.
Practical points to note: the property is accessed by an unmade farm road, contains a public footpath crossing the land, and uses a private drainage septic system (recently assessed as compliant). Broadband is fast for remote working but mobile signal is average. The farmhouse is a substantial period building with five bedrooms across three storeys and approximately 2,766 sqft, but the sale is best suited to buyers prepared for rural ownership responsibilities and any planning requirements for building conversions.
