Description

Unit 1, The Barns is a four bedroom bespoke barn conversion in the heart of the Northumberland countryside. This grade II listed property offers an
abundance of character yet has been modernised sympathetically to enhance everyday living.

Extending to over 2,400 square feet, this impressive home offers flexible yet comfortable accommodation, thoughtfully designed to suit modern living while incorporating a wealth of character features throughout.
Upon entering, the hallway leads into a spacious sitting room, beautifully enhanced by ceiling lanterns that flood
the room with natural light. Patio doors overlook the front aspect, creating a bright and inviting space ideal for
both relaxation and entertaining. From here, a door opens into the superb kitchen / dining / family room, forming
the true hub of the home. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor
living and further enhancing the sense of light and space.
The kitchen is fitted with stylish shaker-style units complemented by granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including a double oven, hob with extractor, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and wine cooler, creating a practical yet elegant environment for cooking and entertaining.

Adjoining the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room, offering space and plumbing for a washing machine and
tumble dryer, along with additional worktop space and a useful storage cupboard. A door from the utility room
provides direct access to the side patio, adding further convenience.

The hallway gives access to the master bedroom, which enjoys views over the neighbouring courtyard area. A
dressing area is positioned to one side of the bedroom, with the en-suite shower room to the other. The en-suite
is fitted with a shower, WC and wash hand basin, finished with half-height tiling and full tiling to wet areas for a
clean, contemporary look.

Adjacent to the master bedroom is the family bathroom, complete with a bath, separate shower, WC and wash
hand basin, providing ample facilities for family and guests alike.

There are three further bedrooms, all generous doubles, offering excellent flexibility for family living, guest
accommodation or home office use. One of these bedrooms benefits from its own en-suite shower room, adding further convenience.

Externally, the property offers two allocated parking spaces and a large landscaped garden featuring a patio area and lawn, ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. To the other side of the driveway is a charming raised area, bounded by stone walls and fencing and planted with a variety of established shrubs, adding privacy and visual appeal.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
