The Property
Occupying a remarkable position within Northumberland National Park, Hallpeat Moss presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a traditional stone farmhouse together with an exceptional range of original agricultural buildings and approximately 11 acres.
The stone-built farmhouse, which sits beneath a substantial stone roof, is ready for comprehensive renovation, allowing an incoming owner to restore and reimagine the accommodation while preserving its inherent character.
The ground floor follows a practical traditional arrangement, with a comfortable living room and separate dining room providing two well-proportioned reception spaces. A kitchen with an adjoining pantry sits at the centre of the house, complemented by a useful store, bathroom and separate WC.
The first floor comprises four bedrooms together with useful ancillary storage, each enjoying the same far-reaching rural outlook. The existing layout offers generous accommodation while allowing scope for thoughtful reconfiguration as part of a wider programme of refurbishment.
Throughout the house, windows frame far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, ensuring the landscape remains an integral part of everyday life.
One of Hallpeat Moss's defining features is its exceptional collection of traditional stone barns. Arranged around the farmhouse, they remain largely untouched, preserving lofty interiors, exposed timber roof trusses and original stonework that speak to the property's agricultural heritage. The barns are currently used for household storage, providing extensive practical space while also offering exceptional future potential.
The principal attached barn is particularly impressive, its dramatic double-height interior and substantial roof structure conveying the scale and quality of the original building, while a detached stone barn further enhances the versatility of the holding.
Planning permission has been secured for the conversion of the attached barns into two three-bedroom dwellings and one two-bedroom dwelling, presenting a rare opportunity to create additional accommodation for multigenerational living, holiday letting or income generation.
Externally
Approached via a generous gravelled driveway, the farmhouse sits comfortably within its own enclosed gardens, with both north and south-facing aspects enjoying exceptional panoramic views across the National Park.
A traditional stone well forms an attractive feature within the walled garden, while extensive gravelled parking provides ample space for numerous vehicles. Beyond the gardens lie three separate paddocks and adjoining pasture, extending to approximately 11 acres and reinforcing the property's rural credentials.
The surrounding landscape provides an extraordinary sense of peace and privacy, while the outlook towards Hadrian's Wall further distinguishes this unique Northumberland holding.
Planning permission has been approved for the conversion of the attached barns into two three-bedroom dwellings and one two-bedroom dwelling. Full details of the approved scheme are available on the Northumberland County Council Planning Portal under application reference 23/00604/ful.
A public right of way crosses one of the fields within the property. Further details and a plan showing its route are available from the selling agents upon request.
