Woodhead Farm, built in the late 1800’s, is a traditional stone-built farmhouse with approximately 5 acres of land in all including grazing land and varying outbuildings. Located on the outskirts of the popular village of Allendale, the property offers a semi-rural lifestyle in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Entering from the side of the property through the porch leads to the well- proportioned kitchen and dining room with dual aspect. A selection of wall and floor units are on offer along with a Rayburn range set in an inglenook with recess lighting. There is ample room for a large table and chairs, space for an American-style fridge freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. To the rear of the kitchen there is a good sized utility room with further storage cupboards, additional sink and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with access to a useful downstairs shower room and WC.

The open plan sitting room sits to the front elevation and enjoys lovely open views of the countryside. It benefits from beams to the ceiling and a wood-burning stove set centrally between two alcoves with shelving to either side. A spindled wooden staircase leads to the upper floor accommodation.

The master bedroom to the front elevation offers dual aspect to the front and side and a range of built-in wardrobes to two walls with a corner airing cupboard. There are three further bedrooms, one to the front and two to the rear. The bedrooms are served by the family bathroom comprising a white suite with freestanding contemporary style bath, wash-hand basin set within a vanity unit with illuminated mirror over, heated towel rail and WC. EXTERNALLY

Woodhead Farm is located off a quiet country road and approached through a 5-bar wooden gate. A tarmacadam driveway leads directly to the farmhouse with a hardstanding area and parking for several vehicles. It benefits from a terraced style garden to the front which is mainly laid to lawn with some raised vegetable beds and a gravel sun terrace to enjoy the far-reaching uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.

The equestrian facilities include a stable block with two boxes with light and power and a storage area, along with a barn for additional storage which also houses the oil tank. The paddocks, with a mixture of stone wall and post and rail fence boundaries, are currently divided into two enclosures. They provide grazing in the form of a large field and a smaller paddock, both including a field shelter, water trough and gated access. As a whole, the site extends to approximately 5 acres.

Woodhead Farm offers a manageable sized equestrian property located in an excellent location for quiet hacking on country roads and off-road tracks.
