The Property
Crowden Hill Farm is situated in beautiful rural Northumberland, just outside the village of Ulgham. The property comprises a traditional Northumberland barn farmhouse dating back to 1870 which has been renovated and improved by the current owners over their many happy years of ownership. The property benefits from two generously sized annexes - a charming Log Cabin and a cosy Shepherd’s Hut - perfect for those looking for multi-generational living solutions or generating additional income streams.

For equestrian enthusiasts, there are excellent facilities, including nearby woods and quiet country lanes ideal for hacking. Additionally, the stunning beaches of the Northumbrian coastline are within a convenient distance, offering even more opportunities for picturesque rides.

Inside the farmhouse, the accommodation is generously proportioned, and the layout has been thoughtfully designed with modern living in mind. In 2023, new double-glazed windows were installed throughout, significantly enhancing energy efficiency and comfort. On the ground floor is an entrance hall/boot room, pantry, recently fitted contemporary kitchen with electric Aga, large central island and integral appliances. There are two generous reception rooms retaining many original features including a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone walls and original beams, each room also features a fireplace and wood burning stove, a ground floor bedroom and WC. To the rear is a utility room and further WC. The first-floor features two generous bedrooms, each with a modern ensuite shower room with luxurious underfloor heating. Additionally, there is a further double bedroom and a beautifully appointed family bathroom, which includes a large walk-in shower and a luxurious roll-top bath, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day.

Externally
There are extensive gardens around the farmhouse offering privacy with an abundance of sunny places to enjoy the summer season and beyond. To the front is an enclosed garden, laid mainly to lawn and sheltered by mature hedging and trees. A summer house is ideally situated at the bottom of the garden, looking back at the farmhouse. There is a courtyard area to the side and rear of the house, a private area which could also be used as additional parking. The generous rear garden is also easy to maintain with a large expanse of lawn and a variety of trees.

The Log Cabin and Shepherd’s Hut established in 2015 are located overlooking the paddocks. The Shepherd’s Hut has access to a modern shower room and kitchen. The Log Cabin is extremely spacious with an open plan kitchen/living area, bedroom and modern shower room. Both annexes benefit from independent access and dedicated parking, making them ideal for accommodating visiting family or guests, supporting dependents, or generating additional income through holiday rentals or other ventures.

The equestrian facilities comprise extensive stabling, outdoor arena and paddocks, the latter extending to 1.56 acres. The stables and hay store, erected in 2022 are both fully serviced with a supply of electricity and water. The local area is excellent for hacking and the beach is a short drive away.
