The Property
Pole Barn has been exceptionally well converted to combine a traditional stone
barn with spectacular and extensive glazing that brings incredible natural
light and breathtaking southerly views. The stunning design combines with
modern touches such as excellent insulation to create a hugely desirable four
bedroom property in a beautiful rural setting close to Hexham. The location
provides easy access to village amenities with wonderful countryside
surroundings and outstanding views. The property extends to over 3, 000 ft²,
plus a detached double garage, all set in a generous plot of around 3. 36 acres
including a paddock.
Pole Barn can be accessed from most elevations, giving various rooms direct
access out to the peaceful surroundings. The formal entrance leads into the
hall which is spacious and light with a double height window on the half
landing, showcasing the views to the front of the house. The drawing room has
a triple aspect to south, west and north with a woodburning stove as a focal
point. This is a tranquil room with endlessly appealing views that can be
enjoyed from indoors or by stepping through the French doors to the beautiful
and expansive elevated terrace.
The kitchen/dining room is warm and inviting, and again boasts incredible
views. Bespoke cabinetry provides an abundance of storage, granite
worksurfaces and high quality integrated appliances. This is complemented by a
large island with sink, more storage and space for casual dining. For more
formal dining there is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, and
there is even room for comfortable seating, making this a perfect entertaining
room. French doors open to the wonderful elevated terrace outside creating
amazing indoor/outdoor living space. An open flow continues into the family
area with further relaxing space. A door links to the study which is ideal for
working from home. Continuing in the east wing of the property reveals a
useful utility room and a separate WC, before moving to the generous sitting
room or a fifth bedroom, which also has access to the terrace.
There are four lovely double bedrooms arranged across the first floor, all
finished to the same exceptional standard found throughout Pole Barn. The
principal suite features a gorgeous bedroom with truly delightful southerly
views over unspoiled countryside and space for a relaxing seating area. This
is complemented by an elegant en - suite shower room and a large walk - in
dressing room. The second bedroom also benefits from stunning views, a
beautifully appointed en - suite shower room and walk - in wardrobe. Two further
double bedrooms are served by a stylish contemporary family bathroom.
Externally
The approach to Pole Barn is via a long, sweeping tarmacadam drive with an
amazing first impression of the house to one side and sweeping views over
fields to the other. Straight ahead, the drive stops at a gate into the
paddock of approximately 2. 75 acres and to the right it continues to curve up
and round the house to a detached stone double garage and store room, and
parking for several vehicles at the top.
A wooden fence and gate lead into an enclosed rear garden with lawn and patio
area. To the front and side of the house is a fabulous patio terrace which is
the perfect place to sit and relax, enjoy the peace and quiet of the rural
location, and dine and entertain outside. Steps lead down onto the front lawn
and the terrace and stair balustrades are glass so as not to obscure any of
the view.
There is also access to Pole Barn from the other side of the house – by
continuing past the driveway and entering the paved square at the top. There
are doors into the sitting area, study and family room from here.
