Wow! The Old Barn & Cottages is an incredible and rare lifestyle opportunity sitting in 6 acres close to Berwick upon Tweed on the Northumberland Coast with a stunning barn conversion, three holiday cottages, a large steel portal framed outbuilding incorporating an equestrian surface and stables, stunning grounds, further development potential for a home office or additional holiday let (STP)
The Main House
The Old Barn is a significant barn conversion which has been sensitively converted in recent years into a superb, character-filled family home with over 3894 sq. Ft. Of living accommodation, ideally suited to both modern family living, entertaining and working from home. Arranged over 2 floors and immaculately presented throughout with stunning architectural features. At the heart of the home, there is an incredible lounge with vaulted beamed ceiling, a large modern and contemporary kitchen with a large walk-in pantry, dining room, utility room, WC and just off the kitchen there is a large studio/home office, kitchenette (although with sufficient wiring and plumbing for a full kitchen) and shower room that could easily be converted into a separate annex or granny flat if required. On the first floor there are two large bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms with the master bedroom being 11m long and having a dressing area. Accessed externally yet attached to the main house there is home office situated over two floors with its own shower room & WC. This again could easily be used as ancillary accommodation/home office or perhaps as an income potential, subject to the relevant planning consent.
Equestrian Interest
This home is perfect for those looking for an equestrian property with an Indoor Arena with a mixed sand and fibre surface, housed within a 9400sq.ft. (18m x 48m) a-Framed steel portal shed with large sliding doors at both ends. Inside here there are 4 large Loddon Stables, 2 with automatic water troughs and rubber matting.

This area would also be ideal for those looking for a large storage facility for a variety of uses.
