General Information
North Balfern Farm Barn was originally part of a larger farm steading which has gradually been divided up. The property is accessed from a well maintained shared drive, with views across the surrounding farmland. Kirkinner is the nearest village, with a shop and primary school only a few minutes drive away.

Access
The property is accessed from the B7004. Heading East take the left turn to North Balfern and the Barn is down this tarmac single lane on the right, accessed from a shared drive.

Barn Conversion (17.07m x 5.02m or 56' 0' x 16' 6')
Full planning permission has been granted (19/1819/FUL) to convert the stone barn and store into a 2 bedroomed dwelling with a slate roof and accommodation consisting of an open plan lounge and diner, kitchen, bathroom and utility room. Part of the roof has been re-slated but otherwise no work has begun on the conversion.

Storage Shed (14.07m x 8.05m or 46' 2' x 26' 5')
Opposite the barn is a renovated outbuilding with whitewashed stone walls to the rear and gables with a timber clad frontage and corrugated sheet roofing. There is a concrete floor, a wood burning stove and electricity. There are double doors measuring 3.5m wide and 2.7m high with a pedestrian door set within. Currently this shed is used for storing vehicles with ample room inside.

Horse Stable (11.07m x 8.08m or 36' 4' x 26' 6')
Attached beside the storage shed are quarters for horses consisting of two stables (3m x 3.7m and 3.2m x 5m), tack room with wood burning stove, rug room and an undercover yard area. Again, these have been built from existing whitewashed stone walls with timber clad frontage and corrugated sheet roofing. <br /><br />

Ground
The property has open ground which extends to 1.38acres and is well maintained. The current owners have divided this into paddocks for two horses, allotments and chicken coups. There are also the original drystone sheep buchts and situated within them is a fire pit. There is also a wood fuelled hot tub available by separate negotiation.

Home Report
No Home Report has been prepared because the house is not in habitable condition.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
