The Development
Occupying an elevated position amid the rolling Northumberland countryside, High Baulk Steading is an exclusive collection of just four individually designed stone-built barn conversions. Set on the edge of the desirable village of Great Whittington, the development enjoys an appealing sense of rural seclusion, surrounded by open farmland with lovely far-reaching views, while remaining within easy reach of Corbridge, Hexham, Ponteland, Newcastle airport and city center.

The buildings have been sympathetically converted to retain the character of a traditional Northumberland steading, with their impressive feature stone elevations, Welsh slate roofs and understated architectural detailing allowing them to sit comfortably within their surroundings. Internally, each home has its own bespoke layout, with generous glazing bringing natural light into the principal rooms and making the most of the countryside outlook and lovely views.

Considerable attention has been given to the quality of the finish, which includes oak internal doors, limestone or oak flooring, together with traditionally detailed kitchens with in-frame cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, range-style cookers, and integrated appliances. Bathrooms are equally well considered, incorporating premium quality Grohe fittings and contemporary tiling.

Each property is also designed with energy efficiency in mind. Air source heat pumps provide heating and hot water, complemented by underfloor heating at ground-floor level and radiators to the first floor.

A private shared access driveway serves the development, with dedicated parking for each home together with EV vehicle charging. Enclosed landscaped gardens and stone terraces complete the setting, with the south-facing aspect carefully considered to make the most of the beautiful open countryside views.

The Property
The Stable, is an exceptionally well-finished three-bedroom home arranged over two floors, designed to maximize both space and natural light. The high standard of finish is evident throughout with traditional carpentry, quality fixtures and fittings, oak internal doors and limestone flooring giving the property an immediate sense of character, whilst its generous glazing provides interiors with lots of natural light. Of particular note is the private rear south-facing garden and terrace, which has beautiful far-reaching views across the surrounding Northumberland countryside, which is easily accessed from both the Kitchen and living room.

The entrance hall makes a strong first impression, with limestone tiled flooring and a beautifully crafted cut-string staircase introducing the quality of joinery found throughout the house. Oak internal doors complement the natural materials, whilst a useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs, a discreet cloakroom/WC, and an integrated utility cupboard with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer have been neatly incorporated without compromising the simplicity of the space.

From the hallway, the stylish dual aspect Kitchen is fitted to an exceptional specification which includes a comprehensive range of painted in frame cabinetry with contrasting quartz work surfaces, full range of quality integrated appliances including range style cooker, set on a traditional limestone flagged floor. There is ample space for a substantial dining table, creating a particularly appealing setting for both family dining and entertaining. The kitchen also benefits from fully glazed opening doors on two aspects, one of which opens directly onto the rear garden terrace for alfresco dining.

Across the hallway, the sitting room provides a generous but more relaxed living space. Its simple proportions allow considerable freedom in furnishing. A fully glazed door allows direct access to the front entrance garden, and access to the more private rear terrace garden is also easily accessed via the adjacent hallway.

Together, the kitchen and sitting room give the ground floor a pleasing balance, with each enjoying its own identity while sharing the same connection to the garden and countryside beyond.

Upstairs, a light-filled galleried landing leads to three bedrooms and family bathroom and incorporates two useful bespoke storage cupboards. Semi-vaulted ceilings lend character to the bedrooms and make particularly effective use of the building’s roofline allowing impressive views over the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The principal bedroom is served by a fully tiled, wet room-style en-suite shower room which includes a walk-in enclosure with rain shower/handheld shower system, stylish wall mounted basin drawer unit, btw toilet with quality Grohe and Sagittarius fittings. Two further bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or home working, with the remaining accommodation served by a beautifully appointed fully tiled family bathroom, complete with bath with overhead rain shower and handheld shower attachments.
