The Property
Set within the picturesque hamlet of Allerwash, just outside Hexham, Church Lane Barn is an exceptional stone-built conversion that once formed part of Allerwash Farm’s historic watermill. Dating from the mid-19th century, the property today offers a thoughtfully conceived home, combining period character with contemporary living spaces. Approached along a quiet country lane, the house enjoys far-reaching countryside views and a peaceful, rural setting within easy reach of amenities.
Behind its handsome stone façade, the interiors are neatly proportioned, tastefully decorated, and immaculately presented, with characterful elements such as exposed stonework, oak framing, and natural materials — thoughtfully retained throughout. The entrance hall introduces the house, leading through to the kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with cabinetry finished in Farrow & Ball’s Pavilion Grey, quartz worktops, a three-oven electric AGA, and a range of appliances. Additional joiner-made storage lies beneath the stairs. A utility room is positioned discreetly to one side.
From the kitchen, the accommodation flows into a sitting room with a feature fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. The study, featuring mahogany bookshelves, lies adjacent to the sitting room. On the western aspect, lies a separate family and dining room, again fitted with a wood-burning stove, leading through to a vaulted oak-framed garden room — a light-filled everyday living space that frames views across the garden. Tiled flooring with underfloor heating extends throughout the family/dining room and garden room, offering a welcoming setting for both relaxed gatherings and more formal entertaining.
The boot room is accessed internally via the garage and externally from the driveway, providing practical storage for country living. Above the boot room, a spacious office offers a versatile workspace for home working or potential conversion into ancillary accommodation.
The staircase rises from the kitchen to a generous first-floor landing. The principal bedroom enjoys open countryside views and features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. It is served by a contemporary en-suite bathroom fitted with underfloor heating. Three further double bedrooms are equally well proportioned and share access to a stylish family bathroom, also benefiting from underfloor heating.
An alarm system is fitted throughout the property, and heating is provided by an oil-fired central system.
Externally
Outside, a wide paved terrace leads onto lawns framed by mature planting, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside offering spectacular sunrises and sunsets. To the front, a large integrated double garage provides excellent storage or workshop potential, and a gravelled driveway allows for ample parking. Beyond the immediate gardens, the wider hamlet of Allerwash offers country walks from the doorstep, a popular village pub nearby, and convenient rail links from Haydon Bridge, just five minutes away.
