The Property
Nestled in the scenic grounds of Crowden Hill Farm, The Goat Barn is one of two converted farm steadings and the original farmhouse, in the heart of rural Northumberland, just outside the charming village of Ulgham. Dating back to approximately 1876, this stone-built barn has been thoughtfully renovated to a high standard. Designed to preserve its rustic character, it retains many of its original features such as high vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and feature stone walls.

The Goat Barn offers a unique permanent family home in countryside retreat, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking privacy, tranquility and rural charm.

A private gated main entrance leads into the welcoming property with its stunning and spacious open-plan reception area, ideal for entertaining or relaxation with a contemporary wood burning stove, perfect for cold winter evenings. Adjoining this space is the extremely generous, well-appointed kitchen, which boasts ample white shaker-style cabinetry, a classic Belfast sink, and rustic wooden countertops that add warmth and character. A tower unit houses both an oven and microwave, while additional integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, dishwasher, a five-ring gas hob with an overhead extractor fan. For informal dining, a charming island doubles as a breakfast bar, while the generous layout easily accommodates a dining table and chairs, perfect for both intimate gatherings and larger family meals. A utility room provides extra storage units, a sink, and plumbing for a washer/dryer, alongside a conveniently located separate WC.

The hall leads to a beautifully appointed modern family bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and large corner shower cubicle, and four double bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings and decorated in neutral tones. The principal bedroom boasts exposed stone walls, a vaulted ceiling, views across the open fields and with the added luxury of an en-suite shower room.

To the side is an extensive gravelled patio area with various outdoor seating and dining options from where to enjoy the breathtaking views over open Northumberland countryside.
