Newbiggin, Penrith, CA11

Welcome Home To North Barn...

Tucked away at the end of a gently rising country lane, Two North Barn enjoys a truly special setting within a small and thoughtfully converted cluster of former agricultural buildings. Surrounded by open countryside and positioned to take full advantage of its elevated position, the property commands breathtaking views across to the Pennines, creating a sense of peace and escape that is immediately felt upon arrival.

Approached through the heart of the village of Newbiggin, the journey to the property sets the tone beautifully, culminating in a gravelled frontage with ample parking, framed by traditional sandstone walls and fencing. A charming patio to the front provides the perfect spot to enjoy the south and westerly aspects, capturing sunlight throughout the day.

Constructed in attractive sandstone, the barn retains a wealth of original character, including striking arched openings and traditional detailing that speak to its agricultural heritage. Stepping inside, the sense of quality and craftsmanship continues, with engineered oak flooring running throughout the ground floor and solid oak internal doors complete with decorative pewter ironmongery.

The lounge is a room of impressive proportions and a true highlight of the home. With a triple aspect allowing light to pour in from multiple directions, the space feels both expansive and inviting. A feature arched window adds architectural interest, while patio doors open directly onto the garden. At its heart sits a multi-fuel stove set beneath a substantial oak lintel, creating a warm and atmospheric focal point.

The kitchen diner is equally impressive, designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. Finished in a country cream palette and complemented by black quartz work surfaces, the space is both stylish and highly functional. Deep-set window seats with integrated storage offer charm and practicality, while the layout provides ample room for dining and relaxed seating. Integrated appliances include double ovens, a microwave, dishwasher and a slimline drinks fridge, with a central breakfast bar adding to the sociable nature of the room. Large glazed patio doors invite natural light in and provide seamless access to the garden. This is most definitely the hub of the home, where teens lounge and hang out with friends, or where homework is done whilst supper is being prepared.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the surrounding countryside and benefits from its own en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are well-proportioned and offer flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring a freestanding slipper bath, separate shower and contemporary fittings.

An additional loft room, accessed via a staircase, offers valuable extra space. While not formally classified as a bedroom, it provides an ideal area for a home office, studio, playroom or occasional guest accommodation.

Externally, the rear garden has been designed to maximise enjoyment of the setting, with a slate patio positioned to capture the best of the westerly light, making it an ideal spot for outdoor dining and evenings in the sun. A substantial garage provides excellent storage and workshop space, complete with power and light, and also houses utility facilities. An electric vehicle charging point is also installed, reflecting the practical and forward-thinking nature of the home.

Two North Barn is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully converted barn that successfully combines character, space and modern living, all set within a truly idyllic rural landscape.
