Set within circa 5.2 acres with about 4.11 acres of paddocks, this single-storey detached bungalow is a rare countryside small-holding close to Bellingham village. The house offers flexible three/four bedroom accommodation, a south-facing garden with patio and sliding doors from the living room, and extensive equestrian outbuildings including two blocks of four stables, tack room and machine house. Parking is generous with a private gravel driveway and space for several vehicles.
Internally the home is spacious (approx. 2,200 sq ft) with a well-equipped dining kitchen, utility room, a principal double bedroom and two further double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. A converted former double garage provides versatile extra living or bedroom space. The property benefits from lovely views across the paddocks to the North Tyne and direct field access from the yard — a clear draw for riders, hobby farmers and families seeking space and privacy.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is chain free but has an EPC rating of E and oil-fired central heating, with double glazing installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are slow in this rural location and there is a medium flood risk — both important for buyers who work from home or who plan significant refurbishment. There is a single family bathroom and the house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, so some modernisation may be desirable to improve energy performance and finishes.
For buyers who prioritise land, equestrian facilities and countryside living, this is a compelling, ready-to-use small-holding in an affluent rural area with good local schools and outdoor amenities nearby. Hexham is about 16.5 miles for wider services and rail links; Kielder attractions are also within easy driving distance. The plot’s scale and flexible accommodation offer potential to tailor the property to long-term family or hobby-farming use.
