The Property 
Dunkirk Farmhouse is a stone and slate-built farmhouse, offering well-proportioned and beautifully presented accommodation amidst the picturesque Northumberland countryside. This charming home retains its original appeal, featuring classic elements that impart a timeless country character, such as exposed stonework, beamed ceilings, wooden lintels, and newly installed sash windows. 

Inside, Dunkirk Farm opens into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This welcoming space includes shaker-style units with complementary worktops, incorporating a Belfast sink, ceramic hob, double integrated oven, and dishwasher. A breakfast bar offers casual seating, while exposed beams and a recently installed multi-fuel stove add warmth and a rustic touch. Large windows provide lovely views of the paddock, filling the room with natural light. The adjacent utility room provides useful storage and is plumbed for appliances. 

From the central hallway, you access two generous reception rooms. The living room benefits from a dual aspect, including an expansive bay window that frames views of the garden, paddock, and sweeping open countryside beyond. This room, complete with a wood-fuel stove installed in 2022, is a warm retreat in winter and bright and inviting in summer. A WC with a wash hand basin completes the ground floor for added convenience. 

Upstairs, the property includes three double bedrooms on the first floor, each with views over the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with a corner shower cubicle, panelled bath, WC, and wash hand basin, all styled in soft neutral tones. The family bathroom also offers a corner shower, panelled bath, WC, and wash hand basin, providing ample amenities for the additional bedrooms. 

A staircase leads to the second floor, where a further double bedroom is complemented by a large dressing/storage area and a study, ideal as a home office or a peaceful spot for reading. The loft space offers excellent potential for conversion, making it a great opportunity for further expansion. 

Externally 
Dunkirk Farm is set in approximately 0.6 acres of land, including a private driveway with ample parking for several cars. The gardens are primarily laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees, hedges, and traditional stone walls that ensure both privacy and seclusion. A newly planted orchard features apples, damsons, pears, and plums, while over 830 saplings—including oak and rowan—enhance the landscape. The garden also includes blackthorn and elderflower bushes, perfect for making sloe gin and summer cordials. 

The 16ft wooden shed, erected in 2022, also provides practical storage.
