Description

Discover an expansive lifestyle property featuring over 13 acres of well-maintained farmland and versatile buildings, situated on the edge of the picturesque North Pennines. This renovated barn conversion offers a unique opportunity for off-grid living with existing income potential from its eco camping pods, all under a convenient 365-day licence. The main farmhouse boasts a charming kitchen equipped with a Rayburn cooker, Belfast sink, and French doors leading to a sunny patio. The inviting sitting room showcases exposed beams and a multi-fuel stove. An additional reception space currently serves as a bedroom, complemented by a separate utility room and downstairs WC. Upstairs, three generously sized double bedrooms await, including an en-suite master suite with stunning countryside views. The outdoor space features several substantial outbuildings—including a fully wired three-bay barn with workshop, former piggery, and stables—perfect for equestrian activities or creative ventures. Additional structures like a greenhouse and log store provide further utility. Notably, the property is powered by solar energy with battery storage and has provisions for generator use, emphasizing sustainability. The four eco camping pods come with private shower facilities and solar-powered heating, creating an immediate revenue stream. Furthermore, planning permission is already in place for additional static pitches and another barn conversion, opening the door to significant development potential. This property is not just a home; it's an investment in an idyllic rural lifestyle filled with opportunities for expansion and income generation.
