Description

Originally built in 1900, as part of Heathfield Farm, Maple Barn was converted in 1996 to create a beautifully presented, spacious and characterful home that seamlessly combines farmhouse-style features - including wooden beams - with contemporary living, in a wonderful semi-rural village setting, providing over 2,000sq.ft of impressive accommodation in substantial, well-cultivated grounds extending to approximately 0.6 acres.

The ground floor is centred around a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, providing a natural hub of the home, fitted with LVT flooring, stylish shaker-style units with solid 'Staron' worktops and including a large Rangemaster cooker. There is a door out to the garden from the living area and a door to the side hallway, which provides access to the large garage and also to the well-appointed W.C., just next to the additional front entrance door.
In addition, there is a well-proportioned separate sitting room with a gas stove and also with direct access to the garden, offering a more private space for relaxation, with access from the central entrance hall, which has stairs to the first floor.

To the first floor, a long landing with an exposed stone wall and wooden beams adds to the property’s character and provides access to the four spacious double bedrooms, including the large principal bedroom at one end, with a stylish en suite shower room that includes a dual-head mains-fed shower and wash basin & W.C. in vanity unit. There are two similar sized double bedrooms along the landing - one with fitted wardrobes – and a family bathroom that is fitted with a white suite including a panelled bath, shower cubicle with another dual-head shower, wash basin in vanity unit and W.C.

To the far end of the landing is the fourth bedroom, with fitted wardrobes to one wall and a fitted desk and drawers, making it ideal for use as a study / home office. The landing also has a built-in airing cupboard that includes a towel radiator – ideal for storing towels and sheets etc.

Externally, there are beautifully maintained, south and west facing landscaped gardens with a level lawn, abundant planting, and a feature waterfall cascading into a small fish pond. There is also a pleasant patio area and flagged path as well as a resin path leading to a decked veranda with access to a versatile, separate garden room with bi-fold doors, Wi-Fi connectivity and adjoining storage.
There are steps leading up to another lawned area with planting/vegetable beds and a greenhouse, with gated access to a level paddock, which is currently a wildflower meadow / bee paradise! There is also a two-box stable (including hay store) and the paddock / meadow has vehicular access to the far end, from Lead Road. To the front of the house is a spacious pebbled driveway, with room to park 4-5 cars, and with a large gate for contained access from the shared road within the cul-de-sac.

The front drive and garden area has further planted flowers, plants and shrubs and has another small gate for access into the rear gardens. The integral garage has plumbing for a washing machine and a vent for a tumble dryer, wooden barn doors to the front, lighting and electric sockets.

The house has a ventilation system installed to the first floor and has gas central heating via a Baxi combi. boiler (situated in the ground floor W.C.), which was installed in 2021 and has been regularly serviced. There are external security lights and cameras and there is outdoor Wi-Fi connectivity.

Location -
Heathfield Farm is tucked away behind Lead Road in the popular village of Greenside, offering a semi-rural setting with a strong sense of nature and surrounding greenery. It is an excellent location from which to explore the Tyne Valley, which is an area well regarded for its scenic countryside, riverside walks and outdoor pursuits. Greenside itself benefits from a selection of everyday amenities, including local shops, a primary school - rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2024 - and community facilities within the village environment. Additional amenities can be found in nearby Ryton and Crawcrook, which offer further shops, services and riverside walks along the Tyne. Alongside the peaceful surroundings, the area remains well connected and Newcastle city centre is within comfortable commuting distance (7 miles by road) as well as main transport links including bus and rail services (from nearby train stations in Prudhoe, Wylam and Blaydon). The A695 along with the nearby A1 and A69 also offer convenient driving routes across the region and beyond.
