South Farm, Slaley, Hexham, Northumberland, NE47

South Farm presents a rare opportunity to create an exceptional collection of five sustainable farmstead conversions in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Slaley, near Hexham. Positioned on the southern edge of the village, the development enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the valley towards Slaley Forest, combining rural tranquillity with the convenience of village living.

South Farm offers the perfect balance of accessibility and privacy, ideally located within walking distance of the village shop, primary school, local public house and community hall.
Set back from the main road, the development benefits from an enhanced sense of exclusivity and prestige while retaining its traditional agricultural character.

The scheme is accessed via two separate entrances. The existing farm access will provide a shared driveway for 'Dutch Barn' and the The Granary, an impressive Grade II lited building which adjoins South Farm Farmhouse. A new secondary access to the east of the existing entrance will serve Field Barn, East View Barn and West View Barn. Depending on the method of sale, a right of way may be retained over part of this access to facilitate access to the adjoining paddocks, as identified by the brown hatched area on the sale plan.

FIELD BARN
(PLANNING REFERENCE 26/00851/FUL)
Field Barn has planning permission to create an outstanding detached three-bedroom residence. Beautifully positioned to the rear of the steading, it commands uninterrupted panoraminc views across the valley from east to west. The thoughtfully designed conversion provides spacious split-level accommodation arranged over two floors, maximising both the barn’s unique character and its spectacular setting. Wraparound gardens, a double garage and a private driveway extending from the steading further enhance the property’s appeal.

EAST VIEW BARN AND WEST VIEW BARN (PLANNING REFERENCE 25/03860/FUL)
East View and West View will be created from the existing steel portal-framed agricultural buildings, resulting in two generously proportioned, linked-detached four-bedroom homes. The contemporary layouts have been carefully designed to make the most of the exceptional countryside views, with principal living spaces and gardens positioned to enjoy the stunning south-facing aspect. These impressive homes offer spacious family accommodation while embracing the character and setting of the original farmstead.

DUTCH BARN
(PLANNING REFERENCE 25/02854/FUL)
Situated on the western side of the steading, Dutch Barn incorporates both the traditional Dutch barn structure and adjoining stone byre. Accessed via the original shared driveway with The Granary, the conversion will create a striking detached three-bedroom home with attractive south and west-facing gardens. The design preserves the agricultural heritage of the buildings while delivering a distinctive and contemporary countryside home in an exceptional setting.

THE GRANARY
(PLANNING REFERENCE 25/01128/FUL)
Standing proudly at the head of the steading, The Granary is Grade II listed and forms one of the development’s most distinctive buildings. Planning permission has been granted for its conversion into an elegant three-bedroom semi-detached residence. Featuring a handsome sandstone façade and traditional stone roof, The Granary will offer an outstanding blend of historic character and modern living. The gardens are predominantly located to the front of the property, extending alongside the shared driveway to create an attractive and welcoming outdoor space.

South Farm offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire and develop a collection of unique homes in one of Northumberland’s most desirable villages. Combining outstanding architecture, heritage buildings and spectacular countryside views, the development promises a rare blend of rural charm, sustainability and contemporary living.

Additional paddocks are available by separate negotiation.
