Property code: OC-NB663

Looking out across a 1,800-acre sheep farm, this stylish rural retreat occupies an idyllic spot in a wonderfully secluded part of the magnificent Northumberland National Park. Providing tastefully furnished accommodation for up to six guests, the property is ideal for fell runners, mountain bikers and ramblers exploring the Northumberland countryside. Situated just outside the majestic Ingram Valley, this cheerful semi-detached stone barn has been imaginatively updated, while retaining original features including exposed stonework, stone tiling, timber beams and a wood burner, and offers ample space for three canine companions to join you on your travels.

Entering this tastefully designed property, you will find an airy lounge/diner with a cosy farmhouse feel, with plenty of seating, a sociable dining area, central columns and a warming wood burner, providing a relaxing space for everyone to get together after a great day out. A few steps lead down into a fully equipped galley-style kitchen. The ground floor also has two invigorating shower rooms. Upstairs, the first floor comprises the spacious sleeping quarters, with wooden beams and skylights in the high vaulted ceiling. This stylishly designed room is partitioned by a sliding barn door, creating a bit of privacy for the beds: a double, two singles, a sofa bed, and a bunk bed. Heading outside, the patio has garden furniture and makes a great spot for gazing into the Dark Skies with your four-legged friends by your side.

Exploring this breathtaking area with your canine companions, you might spot red squirrels, hear curlews or glimpse otters in the River Breamish. With your pets you can visit fantastic landmarks including Linhope Spout, Yeavering Bell Hill Fort and the historic village of Ingram, all within 15 miles. There’s a choice of dog-friendly pubs and cafes in the bustling market town of Wooler (9 miles) after spending an exhilarating day exploring the Cheviot Hills.
