Warenton Farm Steading, Belford, NE70

The Forge, Warenton Farm Steading is a charming and individual stone-built barn conversion, offering well-presented single-storey accommodation with genuine character and a strong lifestyle appeal. Converted by the current owner, the property retains a warm, cottage feel throughout.

The entrance opens into a long, light-filled corridor, immediately setting a sense of space and flow that carries throughout this thoughtfully designed home. To the far end, the living room offers a more intimate contrast, a cosy retreat centred around a wood burning stove with an attractive brick and stone chimney which echoes the original smithy chimney

At the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining space has been carefully designed to retain its original charm while introducing the scale and functionality expected for modern day living. Exposed beams frame the room, while a central island anchors the space. A beautifully positioned sunroom draws in natural light throughout the day, offering a calm and inviting space to enjoy the gardens while taking in the far-reaching countryside views beyond.

The internal layout is both practical and versatile, offering three bedrooms, with the third currently arranged as a home office, ideal for those seeking flexible, single-level living. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining accommodation is served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the property is approached via a gated entrance, opening into a generous plot that immediately reflects the vision behind the current owner’s conversion, a home designed not only for living, but for enjoying its surroundings. The gardens are established and thoughtfully arranged, providing ample space for planting, raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and a pond that adds further charm and tranquillity.

A detached garden room, currently utilised as a workspace, provides excellent flexibility, equally suited to home working, creative pursuits or additional leisure space, and is complemented by an attached shed for practical storage. Parking is plentiful, enhancing the property’s everyday usability.

The south-facing garden and far-reaching countryside views are a defining feature, creating a strong sense of openness and seclusion. This outlook elevates the property beyond a typical cottage or conversion, positioning it firmly within the lifestyle-led rural market.

Further enhancing its appeal, the property benefits from an air source heat pump and solar-thermal panels for domestic hot water, a considered addition that aligns with the growing demand for energy-efficient, eco-conscious homes, without compromising on comfort or character.

Ideally situated in the heart of the Northumberland countryside, offering a peaceful rural setting surrounded by open organic farmland and far-reaching views. Despite its tranquil location, the property is well placed for access to nearby towns and villages, providing a range of local amenities, shops, and schools. The stunning Northumberland coastline, with its unspoilt beaches and iconic castles, is just a short drive away, while excellent road links make it easy to reach larger centres such as Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. This location perfectly balances countryside living with convenience, making it ideal for those seeking both serenity and accessibility.
