A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a traditional stone barn on the outskirts of the charming village of Carrshield, with the benefit of full planning permission for conversion into a single residential dwelling.


Whether you are seeking to create a unique countryside home or a bespoke retreat, this property presents a truly exceptional chance to bring your vision to life in one of Northumberland’s most picturesque settings.

A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of traditional stone barns in the peaceful hamlet of Carrshield, Northumberland, with full planning permission granted for conversion into a distinctive two-bedroom dwelling. The approved scheme proposes a thoughtfully designed home set over two floors, retaining the charm and character of the existing barns while introducing modern living spaces.

The main barn will form the heart of the dwelling, with accommodation arranged across two levels to maximise both light and space. A single-storey extension will project from the south-west facing principal elevation, creating a seamless link to the adjoining barn and enhancing the overall footprint. This carefully considered addition connects the south-east side elevation of the smaller barn with the north-west side elevation of the main barn, resulting in a harmonious layout that blends old and new.

This project represents a superb chance to create a bespoke home that combines heritage charm with modern comfort in an idyllic rural location.

Carrshield is a small and picturesque village nestled in the heart of the West Allen Valley, around 17 miles from the historic market town of Hexham. Surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village offers peace and seclusion while still being within easy reach of local amenities. The nearby villages of Allendale and Nenthead provide everyday facilities, including shops, pubs, and primary schools, while Hexham offers a wider range of services, leisure opportunities, and a mainline railway station with connections to Newcastle and Carlisle. The area is well known for its stunning walking and cycling routes, abundant wildlife, and strong sense of rural community, making Carrshield an ideal location for those seeking to enjoy the best of Northumberland’s countryside living.
