This beautifully presented stone-built barn benefits from space, light, and thoughtful touches to encourage relaxation, happy memories, and making the most of the gorgeous location. At one end of the hallway, you will find the bedrooms and a large, built-in cupboard where you can leave your outdoor shoes and coats. At the other end, you walk into the fabulous open-plan kitchen/diner with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. There is everything you need to make your meals, including a range-style electric oven and induction hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and a filter coffee machine. This space will become the social hub of your holiday, with a comfortable three-seater sofa where you can sit with a drink and keep the cook company. You can also enjoy quality time together sitting at the farmhouse style dining table which has seating for eight guests. The utility room is off the kitchen and houses the washing machine, tumble dryer, and a useful additional fridge. Head through to the bright, inviting lounge from the kitchen for more exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, adding to the sense of space. French doors lead onto the patio area and the garden beyond with views to the southwest over the rolling Northumberland countryside. There is plenty of comfortable seating so everyone can relax together in front of the wood-burner after a day out in the fresh air exploring. The owners have provided full access to Netflix on the Smart TV for your entertainment, and you can also log into your Apple TV account or if you’d like to have some quiet time to read a book, settle back on the deep-cushioned window seat which overlooks the side patio area. Returning to the main hallway for the bedrooms, there are two king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower and WC, a generous twin bedroom, and a single bedroom. The bathroom has a shower over the bath and a WC.
Outside, there is a patio area and small lawn with a garden table and seating where you can enjoy breakfast or dinner with those wonderful countryside views over the valley and beyond. Alternatively, sit with a drink on the other patio in front of the French doors watching the children play on the lawn and experience the famous dark skies before bedtime. There is private off-road parking for three cars on the driveway and the garden can be enclosed by closing the farm-style gate behind you.
