Description
**Off-Grid, Country Retreat Barn Conversion, with ready made Income Potential – North Pennines **
Escape to the edge of the stunning North Pennines with this exceptional lifestyle property – a beautifully restored barn conversion set within 13.3 acres of gardens and grazing land, offering complete off-grid living and boundless opportunity.
Lovingly upgraded by the current owners, this charming home combines rustic character with modern sustainability, featuring solar power, generator backup, double glazing.
The farmhouse kitchen, with its Rayburn, Belfast sink, and French doors to a sun-soaked patio, forms the heart of the home, flowing into a welcoming sitting room with exposed beams and a multi-fuel stove. A spiral staircase leads to three spacious double bedrooms, including a luxurious en-suite master with panoramic countryside views.
Outside, the property truly shines. Extensive outbuildings – including a three-bay barn with workshop, former piggery, and stables – all have power and lighting, making them ideal for equestrian, smallholding, or creative pursuits.
A rare opportunity for sustainable living, the estate is powered by 60 solar panels, battery storage, and a generator, ensuring complete energy independence.
Adding to its appeal are four eco glamping pods (on a 365-day licence) with private shower facilities, solar-powered heating, and communal kitchens – generating a ready-made income. There’s also planning permission for four static pitches and a barn conversion, offering huge potential for further development.
This is more than a home – it’s a self-sufficient rural haven, offering freedom, tranquillity, and a thriving countryside lifestyle.
