EXCITING DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FARMHOUSE & LAND
Full Planning Permission: Northumberland County Council – Application No. 25/01818/FUL
Detailed Planning Documentation: Location Plan Ref: 13049/08
Auction House is delighted to welcome this traditional stone-built barn conversion opportunity occupying a delightful rural position in the sought-after village of Carrshield, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the West Allen Valley.
The property comprises two existing stone barns and offers purchasers the opportunity to create an individual countryside home. Full planning permission has been granted for the conversion and extension of the existing buildings to form a single two-bedroom dwelling, providing an excellent starting point for a purchaser looking to undertake a self-build or development project.
The proposed scheme is designed to make the most of the existing buildings while retaining their traditional character. The plans include the conversion of the main barn to provide the principal living accommodation, together with an extension linking the existing structures and creating a practical residential layout over two floors.
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a property with the key planning stage already completed, allowing the successful purchaser to focus on delivering the approved development. The existing stone construction and attractive rural surroundings provide the potential to create a distinctive home with plenty of character.
Carrshield is an area well known for its peaceful surroundings. Nearby Allendale provides a range of everyday amenities, while the surrounding towns and villages offer further facilities. The historic market town of Hexham is also accessible and provides a more extensive range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and transport links.
This will appeal to buyers looking to create their own countryside home or builders and developers seeking a manageable conversion project. With traditional stone buildings, approved planning permission and a desirable Northumberland location, this represents an exciting opportunity to transform the existing barns into a bespoke residential property.
