We are delighted to present this beautifully presented Grade II listed converted Barn to the market for the first time in 26 years. The property enjoys a prominent position overlooking the village green in the much sought after village of Hamsterley.

The Barn has provided a much loved family home for the last 26 years during which time the present owners have extended the property with the addition of a three bedroom wing which complements and replicates many of the features of the original Barn to provide a seamless transition between old and new. The original Barn has many original features including flagged stone floors, original timber work and beamed ceilings.

In addition to providing a fantastic family living space the property lends itself to a number of opportunities due to the flexibility of the accommodation. This could include multi generational living, bed & breakfast, holiday letting, home business/office.

Hamsterley is an idyllic traditional village with the ever popular Hamsterley Forest on the doorstep. The forest extends to over 2000 hectares and provides several miles of footpaths, horse trails and world class mountain biking facilities. The village benefits from the excellent Cross Keys pub, a social club, fantastic new multi use games area, primary school, several churches and village hall. The popular village has a mix of interesting and varied housing stock.

The historic market towns of Durham, Barnard Castle, Bishop Auckland, Darlington, and the City of Newcastle upon Tyne are within easy travelling distance as are Sunderland and Middlesbrough.

The A68 and A1(M) provide links to the commercial centres of the north east. Darlington mainline railway station and the airports of Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley offer wider travel and commuting opportunities.

    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
