About this property

A charming stone barn conversion situated on an 1800-acre working hill farm just outside Ingram Valley, surrounded by the wonderful Northumbrian National Park. This peaceful hideaway is perfect for couples or a group of friends with dogs seeking a hidden, rural retreat. Take advantage of the many marked walking trails and paths winding from the doorstep with tracks to The Pennine Way (2 miles) or the many unmarked routes and bridle paths across the valley. For cyclists, venture the Sandstone Way (1 mile) or the Route 68 with tracks that stretch along to Hexham. For those less active days, explore and fuel up with a traditional pub lunch in Wooler (8 miles) or explore the local shops and cafes. Explore the quaint fishing village of Seahouses (24 miles) and stroll by the harbour or jump aboard a boat to the Farne Islands for a day of rare bird-spotting, or venture to Alnwick Castle & Gardens (17 miles) to explore the famous grounds. 

This rustic property is brimming with original charm and boasts unbeatable rolling countryside views. The entrance opens onto the spacious lounge area with an exposed stone interior, tiled flooring, and a feature wood burner. Step down in the bright shaker-style kitchen and whip up some snacks or dine around the table. Retreat to the large bedroom with beamed ceilings and flexible sleeping options, consisting of a double bed, two singles, a bunk bed, and a sofa bed, which can be separated by a beautifully handcrafted sliding barn door to provide a private and cosy feel. The barn also has a bright shower room for convenience.

Soak in the tranquil country backdrop from the paved patio area with outdoor furniture, barbecue and fire pit, or gaze at the skies at one of the best dark sky spots in the area. The newest addition to the property sees a secure bike shed for storing up to 10 bikes, complete with a repair & wash station and electric charging points.
