The Property
Set amongst open countryside with uninterrupted rural views on all sides, Hagg Farm is situated between the village of Byers Green and the hamlet of Whitworth, extending across more than 40 acres of private land and woodland. It presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Victorian farmhouse, a self-contained two-bedroom annexe, and a versatile collection of outbuildings. This non-working farm offers an exceptional semi-rural lifestyle, providing privacy and potential alongside excellent transport links to the A1 and Durham city centre.

The farmhouse has been carefully extended and renovated over the years, with high-specification modern additions creating over 5,100 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation designed for both family life and entertaining. The layout is flexible and practical, with multiple entrances providing access. The main everyday entrance leads directly into the extended wing of the house, where a series of versatile service spaces — including a boot room, utility room, office and workshop — are arranged for effortless daily use. These flow through to the inner hallway, where an impressive central staircase links the living spaces and rises to the upper floors.

The sitting room is a particularly inviting setting, anchored by a deep brick inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove, with large windows framing views of the surrounding landscape. Positioned behind the main staircase, the cosy family room offers a more informal retreat, complete with a wood-effect gas inset fire, perfect for reading, relaxation, or everyday use.

The superb open-plan kitchen and dining room is arranged as a bright and sociable space designed for modern family life and entertaining. Here, traditional materials and craftsmanship meet modern functionality. Oak-fronted cabinetry, granite worktops, and a black four-oven oil AGA sit alongside a NEFF electric oven and induction hob set within an oak island and breakfast bar. A Miele dishwasher is integrated, and a generous walk-in pantry offers ample storage and room for an additional fridge-freezer. Dual-aspect windows and French doors ensure the space enjoys full benefit of the all-day sun, while an additional door provides direct access to an enclosed courtyard.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a calm and elevated setting, with integrated wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. Four further double bedrooms, each enjoying far-reaching countryside views, are served by two additional bathrooms — both appointed with freestanding baths and separate walk-in showers, offering excellent capacity for family living or guests. One of the bedrooms gives access to a mezzanine level — a versatile area with endless possibilities for a range of uses, subject to individual requirements.

Hagg Cottage
Hagg Cottage offers an exceptional addition to the property. A self-contained, detached, single-storey two-bedroom annexe with its own private garden aspect. The accommodation includes an entrance porch, an open-plan kitchen and living room, a useful larder, bathroom, and two double bedrooms. Perfectly suited for multi-generational living, guests, or longer-term rental income. The cottage also benefits from its own bank of solar PV panels.

Externally
Hagg Farm extends across over 40 acres of pasture, gardens, and woodland, with direct access to scenic local walks. Approached via a long private lane, the property is set behind an electric gated entrance and a sweeping driveway, which curves through landscaped lawns and mature hedging to reach the main house.

A large, enclosed courtyard offers a sheltered setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, framed by a series of timber outbuildings that include a high-quality gym, stabling, and a collection of ancillary stores. Further outbuildings include a substantial barn complex, triple garage, along with generous areas of hardstanding — offering exceptional flexibility for those seeking workshop space, classic car storage, or equestrian and leisure use, subject to the necessary consents.
