Elegant simplicity, contemporary interiors and plenty of natural light are part of No. 2 Dairy Fields immense appeal. This beautiful barn-style vernacular, three bedroom, detached new home, offers a generous 1,825 sq ft of living accommodation set over two floors. The natural materials used to construct this modern barn have a calming effect. Charred vertical seam larch on the exterior walls, the slate covered roof, and the slick, contemporary interiors, combine to create an earthy, muted aesthetic. Impressive floor to ceiling windows in the open-plan living area and full length windows and skylights flood this home with natural light.

The barn’s design is based on an agricultural-style shed that alludes to the former Dairy Farm’s past. The ground floor, double height open-plan living room provides a sense of vast space and volume. A free standing multi-fuel burning stove provides a warm focal point to this impressive area. The open-plan area continues to the kitchen, (with a separate utility room) and dining area. To the rear of the barn are more private areas of this home, bringing a cosy feel. There’s a double bedroom with en-suite, a snug or second reception room and a ground floor shower room/cloakroom/wc. On the first floor, there are a further two generously proportioned bedrooms, both with en-suites.

Landscaped gardens and external decking to the south and east elevation provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh air. Follow the sunshine from almost every aspect of the barn or simply enjoy your outside space from the multitude of windows in this special home.

Under construction and available to reserve immediately with completion estimated for early Spring 2024.

What Propology love about No. 2 Dairy Fields and North End Farm

We love the style, eco-design and flexibility that this new home offers. There’s so much natural light from the windows, that are so well placed, they don’t compromise privacy. The charred larch cladding is contemporary but retains rusticity, providing contrast with the existing new sandstone homes on this stylish and beautiful, small development. The open plan aspect of the barn provides a feeling of vast space and volume, but also offers separate rooms and more private spaces to retreat to.

Longframlington is a pretty country village with good access to road, rail and transport links. A few minutes stroll from the property will find you in the heart of the village. Venturing just a little way out of North End Farm offers great walking opportunities and country pursuits. 

Alnwick Ford Equestrian Centre and Livery is a few miles down the road providing a comprehensive range of purpose built top class equestrian facilities set in over 130 acres of breath-taking Northumbrian countryside for competing and training.

The Christmas Farm (it’s open all year round, not just for Christmas) has an organic farm shop and deli as well as offering doorstep delivery. The Running Fox Artisan bakery is a short walk away, 100% dog friendly and a bakery heaven where lashings of tea and towers of home baked goods await. 

Shop local at the village grocers, Carr’s Corner, (formally David Carr’s Family Grocers) serving Longframlington village for over 46 years. Small but with a good selection of groceries and specialities served with a friendly village atmosphere means you don’t have to venture out very far to stock the pantry.
