A handsome stone barn with full planning permission (ref CM/20071018) to create a bespoke three-bedroom family home in prime Northumbrian countryside. The consent has already been started, so it will not expire; mains water and electricity are available nearby. The approved layout includes a generous open-plan living/dining kitchen, snug, principal bedroom with en-suite and dressing room/home office, plus a separate paddock and very large plot.
The buildings are currently derelict and require completion of the approved works and landscaping — this is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready house. A village sewage treatment plant exists but a connection will need to be made. Viewing is restricted for health and safety: the barns are vacant and not entirely safe to inspect without accompaniment.
Set in a quiet hamlet near Matfen, the location offers rural calm with convenient access to local amenities, good primary schools, Matfen Hall facilities and Newcastle city centre (around 15 miles). The site suits a buyer seeking to craft a high-quality, characterful home with substantial outdoor space, or an investor/developer able to complete the approved conversion.
Buyers should allow budget and time for completion of works, services connections and landscaping. A full suite of planning documents is available on the Northumberland Planning Authority website under the reference above for technical review before purchase.
