The Property
Low Barns is a hugely appealing stone-built property nestled within an exclusive collection of former farm buildings and barns in Thornbrough, an idyllic hamlet surrounded by glorious countryside, yet within easy reach of ever-popular Corbridge and with excellent access to transport links. The property retains a host of character, with thoughtful updates and renovations creating a light and welcoming atmosphere for modern living. Generous living space combines with four bedrooms to offer great flexibility. Low Barns further benefits from beautifully maintained gardens and grounds extending in all to around 1.89 acres of formal gardens, peaceful seating areas, vegetable garden and sweeping paddocks.

The pretty traditional stone under slate appearance catches the eye when approaching the day-to-day entrance on the east elevation. The main door opens to a vestibule, with an adjacent door opening directly to the hall with WC off. The gorgeous sitting room has a lovely open feel, enhanced by a dual aspect and light, relaxing colour palettes. To one end is a striking stone inglenook fireplace housing a warming woodburning stove, along with fitted storage either side of the chimney breast. Glazed doors open to the fabulous garden room which takes in tranquil views over the lovely walled garden, with the horizon of the Tyne Valley beyond.

The large kitchen/dining room has an abundance of fitted cabinetry and a grand AGA within an inglenook with imposing stone mantel. There is lots of space for a dining table and chairs, and the whole room is filled with natural light. A glazed door from the dining area steps out to a stone flagged patio with space for al fresco dining in peace and privacy. Adjoining the kitchen via a stable door is the useful utility room with additional sink, storage cabinets and space for white goods. The kitchen is further served by a walk-in pantry positioned off the vestibule.

The wide and generous staircase rises via a half landing to the first floor and four bedrooms. The principal suite incorporates a delightful double bedroom with an impressive dressing room and a well-appointed bathroom. The dressing room has fitted wardrobes and drawers, whilst the bathroom suite comprises showering bath, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit and WC. The elevated position of the dual aspect bedroom brings far-reaching views. The guest bedroom features fitted wardrobes and links to a Jack & Jill shower room with a sleek contemporary suite. The third bedroom also has fitted wardrobes while the fourth could be used as a home office or study.

Externally
Low Barns benefits from extensive gardens and grounds, all maintained to the highest standard. From the parking area, a small fence and gate lead to a gravelled courtyard on the east elevation. Stone walls with climbing plants shelter the courtyard. There are formal gardens to the west and south of the property, including manicured lawns, pretty hedging, vibrant plantings and charming spots to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings. A greenhouse and sheds combine with the vegetable garden for the keen gardener.

Beyond the formal gardens is sweeping paddock land that falls very gently away to the south. This land is well-fenced and divided into two separate fields. An area of hardcore on the edge of the driveway provides additional parking for several vehicles.

Agents Note
The driveway is owned by Low Barns, with the two neighbouring properties having a right of access.
