Ring‑fenced 5.5-acre farm with house, cottage, outbuildings and stable block.
Four-bedroom main house plus attached three-bedroom cottage (seven beds total)
Meadow View is a rare ring-fenced farm on the edge of Gilsland, combining a four-bedroom house, an attached three-bedroom cottage and approximately 5.5 acres of grazing, orchard and productive walled garden. The main house retains period character, oversized reception rooms, a conservatory and south-facing roof solar panels that contribute to electricity and hot water. Outbuildings include a large insulated workshop/garage, a three-compartment timber store and block-built stable/store — useful for equestrian or small-holding uses.
The attached cottage is currently vacant and flexible: it can provide rental income, a holiday let, or independent annex accommodation for multigenerational living. The land is permanent pasture (circa 4.72 acres) with mains water to paddocks and good road access from the steading. The site sits adjacent to Hadrian’s Wall and benefits from countryside views and direct access to local footfall for tourism or hobby farming enterprises.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property has mixed heating arrangements described in different records (LPG-fired central heating and electric storage heaters), and the EPC rating is E. Double glazing dates from before 2002. The house and cottage are well presented but the plot and outbuildings will require routine maintenance and potential upgrades for modern heating or energy efficiency improvements.
This property will suit a buyer seeking countryside lifestyle, equestrian or small-holder potential, or a family requiring independent accommodation for relatives and/or a supplemental rental income stream. Its accessible location off the A69, low local crime and proximity to village amenities make it pragmatic as well as picturesque.
