Description
Stunning four bedroomed former Farmhouse sitting in 6.5 acres with barn, kennels and panoramic views over the fells to Alston, Northern Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Occupying a commanding, elevated position approximately one mile from the historic market town of Alston, this stunning renovated farmhouse represents the pinnacle of rural luxury. Set within 6.5 acres of private grounds, the property offers an unrivaled lifestyle defined by breathtaking panoramic views and meticulous craftsmanship.
Exquisite Living Spaces
The interior blends rustic character with contemporary elegance. Guests are welcomed through a bright sun porch into a cozy snug, featuring original beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace. At the heart of the home lies a fabulous kitchen-diner, complemented by a vast sunroom designed to frame the "jaw-dropping" vistas of the surrounding fells.
The ground floor continues to impress with:
A spacious living room anchored by a feature wood-burning stove.
A convenient guest bedroom complete with a modern en-suite shower room.
A large, practical utility room and separate WC.
The First Floor
Upstairs, the scale of the conversion is truly realized. The master suite serves as a private sanctuary, boasting a dedicated dressing room and a luxurious en-suite. Two further well-appointed bedrooms are served by a stylish family shower room, all finished to an exacting standard.
Grounds and Potential
The property is approached via a private driveway, ensuring total seclusion. The external offerings are as impressive as the interior:
Secondary Barn: A substantial two-level structure ripe for conversion (subject to planning), offering incredible potential for an annex, studio, or holiday let.
Garaging: A large double garage featuring "in and out" electric doors for effortless access.
Equestrian/Smallholding Potential: 6.5 acres of grazing land and purpose-built kennels.
High Shield Barn is more than just a home; it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the North Pennines, finished to a standard that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
