Farmhouse
Newbiggin Farm is a characterful traditional stone and slate farmhouse, believed to be around 300 years old, in a private rural location with far reaching views. The farmhouse has been carefully renovated and restored by the current owners over the last 20 years to provide spacious accommodation over two floors, extending into part of the adjoining barn. The northern end of the barn is still utilised for storage / workshop purposes, with potential for conversion.

The property is set within delightful surroundings, with lawned gardens and herbaceous borders. To the rear of the house is a large flagged terrace on three levels with raised stone plant beds, seating and alfresco dining areas and pergola. Flagged steps lead up to the lawned garden.

To the south of the property is a well established fruit orchard with 47 trees including cooking and eating apples, damson, plum, pear and cherry trees, further fruit trees have been planted within the grounds. With a separate access from Newbiggin lane at the rear of the property is a detached garage building currently used as dog kennels.

This well-appointed home benefits from double-glazed timber windows and underfloor heating on the ground floor. It retains many traditional period features including exposed timber beams, stone fireplaces and slate flagstones throughout most of the ground floor.

Lean-to off Garage 4m x 3m (13’2” x 9’10”) - Rendered stone and slate general-purpose store with concrete floor, adjoining the main garage at the eastern end.

Stores/ Workshops Adjacent to Farmhouse - Forming part of the former, traditional stone barn, into which the farmhouse has been extended, there are two unconverted stores, accessed externally via a doorway off a small patio area adjacent to Newbiggin Lane. Both rooms benefit from mains electricity and provide useful storage space. Both areas have potential for conversion into a residential unit or extended accommodation (subject to the necessary consents).

Below the abovementioned stores lies the former livestock housing, accessed from the front of the property through a separate gated yard, which is split into three rooms as follows:

1. Workshop 3.45m x 5.04m - Concrete floor, fitted wooden cupboards, block-built partition wall, mains electricity connection.

Wood Store - Located immediately south of the holiday cottage is a traditional stone-built log store under tin sheet roof, open on northern side.

Stable Block - The stables at Newbiggin Farm are located to the south of the holiday cottage and benefit from their own access and parking area, off the unnamed highway adjacent to its westerly boundary. The timber built stable block comprises three stables and tack room, all with concrete floors and corrugated sheet roofs. Two stables are 3.48m 3.42m and one is 5.05m x 3.48m. The tack room is 3.48m x 1.98m. The stable block benefits from both electricity and water supply and has a concrete apron to the front providing a yard and horsebox parking.

It must be noted that the surrounding country lanes, although narrow, are passable with a horsebox/ wagon. For reference, the current owners have operated a 13-tonne horsebox with no issues. The gateway into the stable’s parking area is wide enough to accommodate such a vehicle.
