Set just outside Bedlington, this detached two-bedroom barn conversion offers characterful rural living with surprisingly easy access to the Northumberland coast and local amenities. The sitting room is a standout: high ceilings, exposed beams, Velux windows and a log burner create a warm, airy reception space that doubles as dining area. The kitchen opens directly to the outside and includes integrated appliances for practical everyday use.
The layout is flexible — a ground-floor bedroom, dressing room with loft access, and a first-floor principal bedroom with en-suite suit downsizers or couples wanting spare room and storage. Outside, a distinctive roundhouse seating area (former gin gang), driveway for four cars and a detached garage add useful outdoor living and long-stay parking options despite the modest plot footprint.
Buyers should note a few material points: the home uses LPG heating and a boiler with radiators, broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal on site. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area and local crime is above average; council tax is also above average. These factors affect running costs and connectivity and may influence suitability depending on work and lifestyle needs.
Overall, this is a charming, practical barn conversion with scope to improve connectivity and modernise services. It will suit purchasers prioritising character, countryside proximity and coastal access, who are prepared to manage or upgrade utilities and connectivity where needed.
