A stunning barn conversion set within a working farm 5 miles from Allendale, a pretty village in the North Pennines AONB. Blending original features with quirky interior design, this property is perfect for large families or groups marking a special occasion in the countryside. It features an astonishing range of amenities and facilities, including a vast open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, an indoor Victorian botanic garden, underfloor heating and an 18ft heated infinity pool.
Surrounded by rolling hills, the barn is a blend of two converted former farm buildings connected by a glass walkway. The interior is quite remarkable. Handmade soft furnishings litter the barn and bring areas including the curved open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to life. For quiet time, choose between the unique fairy tale-inspired library with a hidden reading snug or the heated indoor Victorian botanic garden. When pre-drinks are called for, sink to the Art Deco-style cocktail bar area. The barn has eight beautifully-presented bedrooms, many with outside seating areas: a four-poster king-size bedroom with hidden en-suite bathroom; two further en-suite king-size bedrooms; three en-suite super-king-size bedrooms that can be converted to twin bedrooms; and two en-suite family bedrooms that both feature a super-king-size bed, a single bed and a Juliette balcony. The enclosed garden is a fabulous space for socialising, whether enjoying a BBQ supper on the patio that links to the cocktail bar or relaxing in the 18ft heated infinity pool.
Allendale (5 miles) is typical of the beautiful towns that litter the North Pennines AONB Hadrian’s Wall stands within 11 miles of the barn, with its Roman forts and associated museums at Vindolanda and Housesteads easy to access. Hexham is an historic market town home to a fascinating abbey and bustling square, while Corbridge (14.5 miles) is a Roman town that offers wonderful river walks, pubs, and independent shops selling local produce.
