A rare chance to own a traditional stone barn in Carrshield with full planning permission for conversion to a two‑bedroom home (Northumberland CC Application No. 2501818/FULL). The pair of barns sit on a large sloping plot surrounded by open pasture and dry‑stone walls, offering privacy and wide countryside views within the North Pennines AONB.
The buildings are currently derelict and will require comprehensive refurbishment, structural repairs and services installation to achieve the approved scheme. The planning documents (Location Plan Ref: 13049/08) set out a two‑storey layout with a single‑storey linking extension to form a cohesive dwelling — a strong starting point for a bespoke countryside project.
This property suits buyers seeking a rural renovation project: someone who values seclusion, character and outdoor space, and is prepared for the practical realities of converting traditional agricultural buildings. Mobile signal and broadband are reported good, there is no flood risk, and nearby villages and Hexham provide local facilities and transport links a short drive away.
Prospective purchasers should allow for significant build costs, structural surveys and utility connections. Inspection and a detailed review of the planning pack and structural condition are strongly recommended before committing.
