Enjoy a romantic escape at this beautifully converted barn in the peaceful hamlet of Sandhoe. Located around 2 miles from Corbridge, this charming rural retreat is ideal for couples, solo travellers and dog owners. After days filled with countryside strolls and fascinating heritage, return here for a nightcap beneath starry skies and cosy evenings by the wood burner.
Located on the grounds of the owner’s property yet enjoying its own privacy, this single-storey retreat has been lovingly refurbished with a relaxed rural elegance. Climb a few stone steps to the entrance/utility space, ideal for leaving muddy boots and wiping damp paws. The open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge invites lazy evenings with your loved one beneath an atmospheric vaulted and beamed ceiling. Cook up a storm in the sleek kitchen, which has vibrant cabinets and granite worktops, before perching at the central island/breakfast bar for casual mealtimes. Then get cosy by the roaring wood burner to watch TV, play a board game or just curl up with a good read. When night falls, snuggle beneath the covers of the super-king-size bed, which can be converted to a twin on request, before a refreshing start in the en-suite bathroom. Outside, a pretty patio bordered by flowers invites a morning cuppa or evening drink in the fresh country air, and there’s private parking for one car.
