Summary - High Tipalt Farm, Greenhead CA8 7JB
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Character farmhouse with annex, shepherd’s hut income and extensive environmental payments.
Circa 96.20 acres (38.93 ha) of ring‑fenced upland pasture and meadow
Low Tipalt is a ring‑fenced upland farm extending to circa 96.20 acres (38.93 ha) with a recently refurbished three‑bedroom farmhouse, attached one‑bed annex and a bespoke shepherd’s hut (The Wagtail). The farmhouse retains strong character—exposed beams, inglenook and sash double glazing—while modern interventions include a new oil boiler, borehole private water supply and updated cattle handling facilities. The steading mixes sound modern steel‑framed buildings with traditional stone outbuildings that could, subject to necessary consents, be converted to add value or further holiday accommodation.
The holding already produces diversified income: The Wagtail performs strongly as a holiday let (circa £20,000 pa) and approximately 15.55 acres of productive meadow support livestock. The land participates in a Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship (HTCS) agreement currently generating circa £27,000 pa, and recent peat surveys and habitat works present genuine scope to expand environmental income streams (carbon credits/other schemes) for an incoming owner.
Practical strengths and constraints are clear. The farm is remote yet accessible from the B6318, sits inside Northumberland National Park with Hadrian’s Wall c. 0.5 miles away and benefits from excellent mobile signal. Material points to note: broadband speeds are very slow; drainage is private/septic and shared between house and annex; main heating is oil; the stone external walls are original with no assumed insulation upgrades. Any conversion of traditional buildings will require planning consent and costs for adaptation.
This property will suit buyers seeking an established, income‑generating upland farm with touring/holiday potential, strong environmental payments and room to enhance returns via building conversions or further stewardship/carbon income. It also appeals to those wanting a character farmhouse in a dramatic, protected landscape; purchasers should budget for remote‑rural running costs and the upgrades consents may demand.
