DESCRIPTION
The sale of Fenwick Granary presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful range of traditional buildings set within 5.77 hectares (14.25 acres). The land comprises three well-maintained grass fields along with woodland, which enhances the site's biodiversity and amenity appeal. The Fenwick Burn provides a natural water source for livestock.
The steading includes a range of 19th-century stone buildings that offer clear redevelopment potential. While not currently suited to active farming, Fenwick Granary presents strong prospects for conversion or diversification into leisure, tourism or residential ventures, subject to the necessary consents.

HISTORY
The Vendor's family have occupied Fenwick Granary for several generations, with the property forming part of a long-established mixed farming enterprise.
Historically, the site was part of a monastic grange granted to the monks of Lindisfarne, and later developed into a productive farmstead during the 19th century. The traditional buildings, including a former water-powered threshing barn and hemmels, reflect the area's rich agricultural heritage.
In more recent times, the steading has supported both the arable and livestock operations, with buildings adapted over time to accommodate the farms changing practices.

Land
The land at Fenwick Granary offers a well-balanced mix of permanent pasture and woodland. It includes three grass fields extending to 4.6 hectares (11.3 acres), all in good heart, well-fenced, and currently grazed by sheep under a short-term agreement with a neighbouring farmer.
Complementing the grassland is an attractive half-hectare area of amenity woodland, providing shelter, biodiversity value, and potential for conservation or leisure use, subject to the necessary consent.
The Fenwick Burn runs beneath the steading, historically used to power the traditional water mill. While the property is not connected to a mains water supply, the burn resurfaces in a small mill pond to the north of the steading, offering a natural water source for livestock.
With its manageable size, good access, and natural water supply, the land is well suited to continued agricultural use-ideal for grazing or small-scale mixed farming. Its setting and features also present opportunities for diversification or amenity use.

Buildings
Fenwick Granary comprises a diverse range of traditional and modern agricultural structures, extending to 2,500 square metres or thereabouts. Many of the original stone-built buildings date from the 19th century and, although now in a dated and dilapidated condition, retain significant architectural interest. Character features such as arched cart entrances and dressed stonework reflect the site's long-standing agricultural heritage.
The buildings offer considerable potential for restoration or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents. Their scale and layout lend themselves to a variety of future uses, including alternative enterprises such as holiday accommodation, residential conversion, or other forms of diversification. The rural setting and proximity to the Northumberland Coast AONB further enhance the site's appeal. In addition to the historic range, the property includes a large steel portal-framed shed, with potential to provide a secure and versatile space for machinery storage, livestock housing, or general-purpose use. This modern structure adds practical value and complements the traditional buildings.
Overall, Fenwick Granary presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-located steading with both heritage value and development potential. Its combination of traditional charm, modern utility, and the generous site area make it an attractive proposition for a wide range of buyers.
