DESCRIPTION
High Tipalt Farm is an idyllic Northumbrian small holding, which includes charming traditional Northumbrian farmhouse, nestled within approximately 26 acres of land and complimented by a range of useful agricultural buildings.

High Tipalt benefits from an outstanding elevated position within Northumberland National Park, ensuring that the surrounding, breathtaking open countryside is fully captured, and consequently there are uninterrupted panoramic views across one of the most spectacular landscapes in the North East. This unique smallholding presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful and self-sufficient rural lifestyle close to Hadrian's Wall.

Constructed of traditional stone and rich in character, the property combines period features with practical accommodation and benefits from a wind and solar powered off-grid energy system, making it particularly appealing to those seeking a more sustainable way of life.

The farmhouse is entered via a welcoming sitting room, a characterful space featuring flagstone flooring, exposed stone walls, substantial timber beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove. Dual-aspect windows frame exceptional views across the surrounding countryside, while a dining area at one end creates an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. From here, access is provided to both the dining room and kitchen, with stairs rising to the first floor.

The dining room offers a versatile second reception space, continuing the property's traditional character with exposed stonework and access to the front elevation. To the rear, the galley kitchen is fitted with a traditional Belfast sink and flagstone flooring, with space for a range cooker, fridge, freezer, washing machine and additional storage.

The first floor provides three attractive double bedrooms, each enjoying vaulted ceilings and far-reaching countryside views.

The principal bedroom benefits from an attractive period fireplace with a stone surround and timber mantel. A family bathroom serves the accommodation and comprises a bath with shower attachment, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally
Approached via a winding track through open countryside, High Tipalt enjoys an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Double five-bar gates open onto a generous, graveled courtyard providing ample parking for numerous vehicles.

The property is well equipped for smallholding and agricultural use, with a range of useful outbuildings including animal shelters, storage sheds and a traditional stone stable building. Currently this building houses equipment associated with the wind turbine and backup generator, while also providing valuable storage space and informal animal housing. The nature of the building does, however, present opportunities for development, being a conversion into a holiday Let and/or an annex. Any such conversions would require the necessary consent.

In addition to the stables, there is a pole framed barn, with tin sheet sides and roof, which offers further opportunities for livestock housing, and/or general storage.

The surrounding land extends to approximately 26 acres and comprises productive grazing pasture and hay meadow, making the property ideally suited to smallholding, equestrian pursuits, livestock keeping or those seeking an idyllic country lifestyle.

The Tipalt burn, meanders its way along the northern boundary of the property, offering a sense of serene calm, with Hadrian’s Wall and open fell land providing a contrasting and dramatic backdrop; all of which add significantly to the abundance of amenity and wellbeing benefits this unique property benefits from.
