Warkworth, Northumberland, NE65

Old Barns Farm is an exceptional stone built grade II listed farmhouse having been held by the current owners for over 30 years. Originally constructed in 1802, with servants’ quarters added around a century later, the property once formed part of the Duke of Northumberland’s estate and operated as a working farmhouse alongside the surrounding land.

Internally the porch leads into the spacious hallway giving access to all ground floor rooms. The kitchen is the heart of the home with space for dining table and further seating whilst well equipped with ample cupboards, dishwasher, washing machine, Belfast sink, fridge and freezer as well as AGA. The kitchen boasts a large picture window overlooking the garden which floods this room with light. There is a WC off the kitchen providing yet more convenience.
The formal dining room features wooden floors and an open fire whilst the dual aspect windows overlook the garden and surrounding countryside. The Georgian drawing room provides a lovely space with open fire and sache windows overlooking the garden. All windows boast working shutters throughout the home.
Stairs lead to the first floor comprising three ensuite bedrooms, all of which are double in size. The master bedroom benefits from a shower over bath with the others boasting shower cubicles on this level.

The next floor forms the Georgian extension which created two further double bedrooms, one of which boasts an array of fitted storage cupboards. There is a large landing currently utilised as an office space and shower room complete with WC and wash hand basin. A great feature of the home is the ‘train room’ built by the current owners and accessed off the fifth bedroom, a labour of love and enjoyment which can remain if a buyer wished.
