Dating back to the 19th century, this tucked-away barn conversion sits in the tranquil hamlet of Swinhoe and benefits from far-reaching views across rolling farmland to the Northumberland coast. Floor-to-ceiling feature windows are a key aspect of the property, flooding the interior with natural light, and creating a peaceful haven for relaxation, yet perfect for bringing families and friends together too.
On the ground floor, a large open-plan kitchen and dining room is divided by a central island, which means there’s plenty of scope for relaxed socialising over lazy lunches or casual suppers. French doors lead out onto the patio with an enclosed rear garden.
The property benefits from a large boot room and separate utility room with plenty of space for outdoor gear, wellies and walking boots, including a washing machine for those holiday practicalities as well as a separate wine fridge.
The living room has rich earthy tones with deep, comfortable sofas in rustic ranch leather, peppered with unique objets d'art and retro touches. A log burner, a large Smart TV and superfast broadband, as well as a separate snug with Apple TV, games and toys, means that there is plenty to keep all of the party happy and entertained on those wet weather days.
The three double bedrooms all feature beds and furnishings from Barker and Stonehouse with contrasting textures evocative of reclaimed beach wood, while butterfly chairs in deep ranch leather are interesting design classics.
There are two bedrooms on the ground floor with a shared bathroom – one double, and a single bedroom, which is ideal for a child. On the upper floor are two en-suite bedrooms – one large master bedroom with Smart TV, and the front aspect bedroom having the added advantage of a floor-to-ceiling picture window – ideal for a spot of early dawn day-dreaming, or taking in the simple tranquillity of the sparkling lights of the Farne Island lighthouse in the distance as night falls. If you’re particularly lucky, you may even witness the amazing sight of the Northern Lights.
Outside the property benefits from an enclosed garden, surrounded by rich farmland, which means there is always something interesting to see, including barn owls, an occasional morning fox, twittering birdlife or some gently grazing cows.
A distance of 1.5 miles will take you to Beadnell with its gentle curve of golden sands – a haven for watersports and outdoor adventures, with mile upon perfect mile of Northumbrian coastline just made for exploring.
