Set in about 11 acres near Watten, this traditional farmhouse and extensive yard suit equestrian use or small-scale farming. The detached 3/4-bedroom house enjoys peaceful, panoramic countryside views, a private garden with pond, and direct access to well-equipped outbuildings including ten stables and an indoor riding arena.
The outbuildings include a former grain store, hay barn with tack room, large steel-framed sheds, an outdoor sand school and paddocks — a ready-made set-up for an equestrian business, home boarding or conversion to holiday accommodation (subject to planning). Several stables are large enough for foaling and there is useful ancillary space: sheep shed, hen house, field shelter, log store and boiler room.
Practical considerations are significant. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average; the location is remote and in a very deprived area. The property has an EPC rating of D and some buildings (grain store, former croft house) would need planning consent and refurbishment before reuse. The holding reads as a small commercial farm rather than a conventional low-maintenance garden property.
For buyers requiring space and opportunity — equestrian families, rural business operators or investors seeking holiday-let potential on the NC500 route — this is a rare, substantial holding with scope to expand income streams. Viewing is advised to appreciate the scale, layout and condition of the house and yards.
