The Property
Positioned within the historic hamlet of Harlow Hill, Middle Barn is an individually designed stone and slate barn conversion offering over 2,200 sq.ft. of refined living space. Finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout, the property combines the charm and proportions of a traditional Northumbrian barn with the comfort and specification of a newer home. The property enjoys a peaceful setting and far-reaching rural backdrop, with easy access to Corbridge, Newcastle and the wider Tyne Valley.

Approached through a five-bar gate, the gravelled driveway leads to a private pathway and welcoming entrance. Inside, a calm and carefully detailed hallway sets the tone, finished with neutral stone tiles, soft-toned walls and discreet lighting. A guest cloakroom and a separate laundry room provide practical convenience, while a bespoke study, fitted with extensive cabinetry and shaped by a distinctive curved internal wall, offers a secluded space for reading, work or additional sleeping accommodation.

The main living area is a generous kitchen and dining suite, featuring bold hand-painted cabinetry, a Caesarstone quartz-topped island, and a full suite of Siemens appliances, including a convection oven, combination microwave and hob, plus an integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. A Quooker tap adds further function. The central island offers both informal seating and additional preparation space, making it a natural hub for cooking, hosting and everyday life. Broad-format porcelain tiles run underfoot, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensuring year-round comfort. Wide windows and deep sills reference traditional barn architecture, while pendant lighting and rich colour contrasts bring a contemporary polish.

From here, a pair of double doors leads into the sitting room, which occupies a rare and striking architectural feature: a circular Gin Gang, designed in homage to the region’s agricultural heritage. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and extensive glazing lend a sense of drama and light, while a freestanding stove introduces warmth and character. Bi-folding doors open directly onto the landscaped gardens and a sheltered patio seating area.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits at the end of a bright, vaulted landing and has direct access to a fully tiled en-suite, complete with a rainfall shower and contemporary fittings. All three bedrooms enjoy elevated views across the surrounding landscape and are fitted with built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, while the third is a versatile space, currently arranged as a gym. Both are served by a beautifully composed family bathroom, finished to a high standard with a freestanding tub, rainfall shower and twin skylights.

Externally
At the end of the driveway stands a detached oak-framed double garage, fitted with electric doors, power and lighting. In addition to secure parking, it incorporates a generously sized storeroom, providing practical space for tools, equipment, or hobbies. Positioned just off the entrance approach, it complements the overall design and offers convenient access without encroaching on the garden.

To the front of the property, a neatly maintained lawned garden is enclosed by a traditional dry-stone wall with a timber gate. A charming, flagged stone pathway leads to the front door, creating a welcoming first impression.

The rear garden is a true extension of the living space, designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A generous paved terrace sits just beyond the Gin Gang, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and gatherings, while deep planted borders bring seasonal colour and structure. A wide lawn stretches towards the rear boundary, bordered by open paddocks and mature trees that frame the outlook and enhance the sense of privacy. A stone pathway leads to a timber summer house tucked into the far corner of the garden. Fitted with power and lighting, it offers a quiet and versatile retreat — equally suited to creative work or simply unwinding with views of the surrounding landscape.

Sensory-controlled outdoor lighting by the garage, front door and outside the Gin Gang enhances both security and evening ambience.
