The Property
Situated in the picturesque rural village of Edmundbyers, Moorlands Barn is a handsome stone-built barn conversion with uninterrupted views towards the Pennines. The grounds enjoy excellent privacy and open views in every direction, with quiet country lanes, walking trails, and access to Derwent Reservoir just minutes from the doorstep. With over 2,350 sq ft of internal space, immaculately presented interiors, and just over two acres of land including paddocks and equestrian facilities, this is a rural home designed for modern country living.

The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction, with natural light and clean sightlines offering a sense of space and calm. From here, the ground floor unfolds with thoughtful flow and balance. At the far end of the plan lies the open-plan kitchen, dining and family area—designed for everyday living and entertaining. Oak cabinetry, granite worktops, and a central island with breakfast bar create a classic and functional working space, complemented by a Rangemaster induction range cooker set beneath a bespoke mantle. Integrated appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, Hoover washing machine, wine cooler, and microwave. The kitchen accommodates a generous dining table, making it a natural gathering point for family and guests. Flooded with light from multiple skylights and wide glazing, the vaulted family space extends naturally into a relaxed seating area, with direct access to the garden via a side door.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a versatile room currently arranged as a boot room/office provides a practical link between living areas. With built-in storage and easy access from the main hallway, it serves as a highly functional everyday space, adaptable to changing needs. Beyond this is the sitting room—a more traditional retreat with a wide staircase rising beside a picture window and a brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. Generous proportions allow for a variety of layouts while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Positioned to one side of the ground floor, a versatile room currently arranged as a bedroom/study provides an ideal setting for guests, home working, or single-level living. A stylish shower room and WC lie nearby, creating the option of a self-contained suite. Internal access also leads through to the open car port and adjoining wood store, with a separate detached garage offering secure storage or workshop potential.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys wide rural views and a dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses. Its en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in rainfall shower, heated towel rail, and skylight. There are two further double bedrooms, each with their own character, served by a stylish house bathroom finished in deep slate-effect tiling with a full-length bath and overhead shower.

Externally
The property enjoys a south-facing garden with excellent views in all directions, capturing the surrounding countryside and distant Pennine hills. A stone-paved terrace provides a sheltered entertaining space beside a large greenhouse, while established boundary planting creates privacy and seasonal interest. Ground-mounted solar PV panels are positioned behind the greenhouse, contributing to the property’s energy efficiency and reducing running costs.

Beyond the formal garden, the land extends to just over two acres and includes two well-maintained paddocks—ideal for equestrian or smallholding use. A timber stable block comprises two loose boxes and a tack room, all served by mains electricity and running water. A field shelter is positioned in the lower paddock, with an additional three storage sheds offering flexibility for equipment, feed, or workshop use.

Parking is generous, with space for up to nine vehicles or a combination of cars and a horsebox, served by a detached garage and open car port.
