DESCRIPTION Seldom Seen is an ideal opportunity to acquire a property within the Tyne Valley which has the potential to be an idyllic small holding.

The farmhouse is built from traditional Northumbrian Stone under a slate roof. The west elevation features a concrete render, whilst the north elevation features partial concrete rendering and partial timber cladding.

Internally, the farmhouse benefits from a kitchen, living room, bathroom and three well apportioned bedrooms. The property does require renovation and modernisation throughout. Subject to the relevant planning policies and obtaining the relevant permission there maybe opportunities reconfigure or extend the property to provide further living accommodation.

Externally, the property benefits from a traditional stone built store adjoining the farmhouse and a timber built garage providing additional outdoor storage. The farmhouse benefits from a well maintained lawned garden with bedding plants and shrubs as well as hard standing area providing parking for multiple vehicles.

The land extends to approximately 4.19 hectares (10.34 acres) of permanent grassland, which is currently split into three sperate field enclosures which is ideal for the of both the grazing of horses and livestock. Each field enclosure all bounded by dry stone walls which are in good order. The land benefits from excellent roadside access, water via a natural supply and trough supply from a borehole.

Likewise, the siting of the land, within the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site Buffer Zone (approximately 1.36 miles south of Hadrian's Wall), a well-travelled tourist route, suggests that diversification into the sphere of Tourism and Leisure could be a possibility, again such a change of use (on a permanent basis) would require planning permission and separate advice should be taken.

Any potential purchases must be aware that traditional and modern agricultural building (hatched black) located within the steading are not included within the sale of the property and are owned by a third party.  

SERVICES The property is serviced by mains electric, private water via a borehole located within the farmyard, and private drainage. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters.

The borehole also serves third party land and buildings, with the cost of doing so and the relevant repairs etc. all shared on an apportioned basis.  

LOCATION Despite being situated in such a rural area the property is still accessible with the village of Haydon Bridge being located approximately 2.7 miles the north west and the popular market town of Hexham lies approximately 10 miles to the south east, both of which provide numerous additional services, schools, shops and a range of local amenities.
The property is directly accessed from the 'Stanegate' road via a hardcore track.
